Applied Exercise and Sport Physiology, with Labs

The third edition of this book continues to provide a thorough yet succinct introduction to the basic principles of exercise and sport physiology. Its applied perspective is designed to help future physical educators, coaches, physicians' assistants, physical therapists, exercise scientists, and exercise professionals understand and appreciate the scientific foundations of exercise and sport. Written in a clear, understandable style, this book will be a useful resource for a variety of applications, including developing appropriate unit plans for physical education classes, organizing effective practice sessions for athletes, prescribing safe and productive training programs, or preparing for certification or licensure. It provides a basic introduction to systems of the human body and covers important scientific and applied aspects of exercise and sport physiology. The authors carefully designed the material to be covered easily in one semester, in an introductory course, but the book can also serve as a foundation for advanced courses. Its 16 lab experiences are matched to relevant chapters and complement the topics covered; they allow readers to apply physiological principles to exercise and sport, provide opportunities for hands-on learning and application of the scientific principles, and often don't require complex equipment.

Laboratory Manual for Exercise Physiology, Exercise Testing, and Physical Fitness

Laboratory Manual for Exercise Physiology, Exercise Testing, and Physical Fitness is a comprehensive text that will provide students with meaningful lab experiences--whether they have access to sophisticated laboratories and expensive equipment, or they are looking for procedures that can be done without costly materials. It will be a useful resource as they prepare for a career as an exercise science professional, athletic trainer, coach, or physical educator. The more than 40 labs cover seven major components of physical fitness. They are practical and easy to follow, consisting of a clear, logical format that includes background information, step-by-step procedures, explanatory photographs, sample calculations, norms and classification tables, and worksheets. Lab-ending activities and questions provide additional opportunities to practice the procedures and explore issues of validity, reliability, and accuracy. Readers will find this manual a valuable tool in learning to apply physiological concepts and to perform exercise tests, as well as an essential resource for any career involving physical fitness and performance testing.

This book is designed to introduce students to the many areas of study and possible employment opportunities in the field of exercise science. If you plan to pursue a career in exercise physiology, athletic training, nutrition, strength and conditioning, or exercise/sport psychology, or you want to seek a career in a university setting or in an organization such as the Centers for Disease Control or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, you will find coverage of the most important aspects of the discipline as well as current and future trends. Each chapter is written by an expert in a particular specialty and contains up-to-date information. Two new chapters on reading and interpreting the literature in exercise science and on exercise epidemiology have been added to this edition. The first is designed to help you become a wise consumer of exercise science literature, and the second shows how exercise epidemiologists study associations between physical activity and the risk of developing specific diseases. Chapters describing the areas of study in exercise science provide information on the history, educational preparation, technology and tools, certifications, professional associations, important publications, career opportunities, and future directions for the field. Abstract boxes, newly updated, will familiarize you with current scholarship in the field. Pedagogical tools including study questions, suggested readings, learning activities, relevant websites, and references enhance and reinforce learning. A Glossary will help you understand the key terms discussed throughout the book.
