Exercise Physiology combines basic exercise physiology, research studies, and special applications to stimulate learning, allowing readers to apply principles in the widest variety of exercise and sport science careers.

Each unit has a consistent and comprehensive sequence:

• basic anatomy and physiology
• measurement and meaning of variables important to understanding
• exercise physiology
• exercise responses
• training principles
• special applications
• problems
• considerations
