Overview

Exercise Physiology Explained provides the reader with a concise reference addressing acute responses and chronic adaptations of all human systems to exercise. Current literature lacks coverage of certain human systems, such as the digestive system, the urinary system, and the cardiovascular system. High-quality illustrations throughout assist the reader in understanding the relevant information about the effects of exercise on human systems. Written by a leading expert in the field. Exercise Physiology Explained is a complete reference for undergraduate students, postgraduate students, and scientists/researchers studying sports science, physical therapy, occupational therapy, medicine and nutrition.
