What a journey writing this text has been. The lengthy voyage
started well before the idea hatched of authoring a text that
contained the word "thermodynamics"! I was informed by my good
friend and sometimes colleague Dr. Jose Antonio that by including
that word in the title, nutritionists and exercise physiologists
might avoid the subject. But almost every step of my expedition was
taken on a rather solid foundation of thermodynamics and as such
the topic could not possibly be omitted from the title or the text
of a book about bioenergetics and energy expenditure. I am not a
physicist. In fact I ?rst went to college to become a football
coach. That vocational choice began to deteriorate when taking the
mandatory anatomy and physiology courses required of all physical
education majors. This information was exciting; my interest in
physical education began to wane. During sophomore year, I answered
an advertisement in the school newspaper requesting research
subjects.
