Overview

Using a consistent format, this comprehensive manual of labs shows the effects of exercise, physical conditioning and training, and practical applications to physical health and performance in physical activity. It promotes accepted practices for administering field and laboratory tests of exercise physiology and fitness and is designed to show common principles of exercise physiology. The labs show the acute and chronic effects of exercise. The manual has been restructured into parts that correspond to fitness components and physiological systems: strength testing, anaerobic exercise, aerobic exercise, cardiovascular testing, respiratory testing, flexibility testing and body composition. The coverage of basic data collection has been extended to consider the distinction between mass, force and weight and the procedures for measuring stature and body mass, and the calculations are now less complicated, enabling students to solve problems more readily.
