OverviewThis is a history of exercise physiology written from a systems perspective. The significance of human exercise experiments is emphasized, and the range of coverage is very wide. After an introductory chapter on early ideas about the physiology of exercise and the training of athletes, there are 11 in-depth accounts of the development of scientific thinking about the responses of key physiological systems to the conditions of acute and chronic exercise, as well as their coupling with integrative responses.
