Exercise Physiology 6th edition integrates the basic concepts and relevant scientific information to provide a foundation for understanding nutrition, energy transfer, and exercise training.
This new sixth edition of Exercise Physiology continues to provide excellent coverage of exercise physiology, uniting the topics of:
- physical conditioning
- sports nutrition
- body composition
- weight control
- and more!
Every chapter has been fully revised and updated to reflect the latest information in the field.
The new edition, fully revised with updated content, reflects the latest information in the field and includes two powerful student resources: a Student Resource CD-ROM and LivAdvise online tutoring.
