Summary

The Sixth Edition of Exercise Physiology: Energy, Nutrition, and Human Performance continues its tradition of excellence with comprehensive, cutting-edge coverage of exercise physiology and related areas and superior artwork. The text blends the science of metabolism and energy transfer with cardiovascular, endocrine, respiratory, neural, and muscular system adaptations to acute and chronic exercise, placing specific focus on physical conditioning, sports nutrition, body composition, weight control, and more. The new edition integrates basic concepts and up-to-date research to provide a foundation for understanding how exercise physiology relates to physical performance and exercise training.
