Exercise physiology : theory and application to fitness and performance / Scott K. Powers, Edward T. Howley. - Tenth edition. - xx, 594 pages, 38 variously numbered pages : illustrations (chiefly color), charts.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction to exercise physiology -- Common measurements in exercise physiology -- Control of the internal environment -- Bioenergetics -- Exercise metabolism -- Cell signaling and the hormonal responses to exercise -- Exercise and the immune system -- The nervous system : structure and control of movement -- Skeletal muscle : structure and function -- Circulatory responses to exercise -- Respiration during exercise -- Acid-base balance during exercise -- Temperature regulation -- The physiology of training : effect on VO2 max, performance, and strength -- Preventing chronic disease: physical activity and healthy eating -- Exercise tests to evaluate cardiorespiratory fitness -- Exercise prescriptions for health and fitness -- Exercise for special populations -- Nutrition and body composition for health -- Factors affecting performance -- Laboratory assessment of human performance -- Training for performance -- Training for the female athlete, children, special populations, and the masters athlete -- Nutrition, body composition, and performance -- Exercise and the environment -- Ergogenic aids.
Designed for those interested in exercise physiology, clinical exercise physiology, human performance, kinesiology/exercise science, physical therapy and physical education. Uses many clinical applications including exercise tests to evaluate cardiorespiratory fitness and information on exercise training for improvements in health-related physical fitness and sports performance. -- Publisher.
