Fatigue is a condition spanning the breadth of human functioning in
health and disease and is a central concern in sport and exercise.
Even so we are yet to fully understand its causes. One reason for
this lack of understanding is that we seldom consider fatigue from
an evolutionary perspective - as an adaptation that provided
reproductive success. This ground-breaking book outlines the
evidence that fatigue is a result of adaptations distinctive to
humans. It argues that humans developed adaptations which led to
enhanced fatigue resistance compared with other mammals and
discusses the implications in the context of exercise, health and
performance. Highly illustrated throughout, it covers topics such
as defining and measuring fatigue, the emotional aspect of fatigue,
how thermoregulation affects the human capacity to resist fatigue,
and fatigue in disease. Human Fatigue is essential reading for all
exercise scientists as well as graduate and undergraduate students
in the broad field of physiology and exercise physiology.
