Science comes to life with Practical Guide to Exercise Physiology,
Second Edition. Taking an application-based approach, supported by
vivid medical illustrations, this book provides students and health
and fitness professionals with a simple and straightforward way to
learn the fundamentals of human physiology, metabolism, and
nutrition. Intricate physiological processes responsible for how
the body responds and adapts to physical activity are described in
an accessible manner so that readers can easily select appropriate
training programs and explain them to others. Practical Guide to
Exercise Physiology, Second Edition, is complemented by medical
artwork that puts these complex systems into a digestible visual
context. These systems are then applied to real-world practice and
training principles that are beneficial to specific body systems to
achieve the desired results. Part I of Practical Guide to Exercise
Physiology, Second Edition, reviews human physiology fundamentals,
including muscles and muscle adaptation, bioenergetics, and the
cardiorespiratory system. Part II applies these scientific concepts
to training programs designed for specific fitness goals. These
goals include weight loss and improvements in strength and muscle
mass, speed and power, and aerobic endurance. Part III of the text
outlines special considerations for training with pregnant women
and children as well as older adults. This part also includes
exercise adjustments for changes in temperature and altitude. The
second edition of Practical Guide to Exercise Physiology features
new content on trending fitness concepts such as HIIT,
periodization, and detraining. The text also provides several
useful tools for practical application: Fun facts and sidebars
examine current topics and engage readers with additional content
about the human body's response to training. At the end of each
chapter, summary statements and review questions highlight
essential information. Performance Nutrition Spotlights offer
advice and tips on using nutrition to support adaptations and
improve performance. The Index of Common Questions From Clients
section collects the most common inquiries from clients and points
to the corresponding chapter where each of those topics is covered,
helping readers to quickly access the information. Practical Guide
to Exercise Physiology, Second Edition, contains all the
information students and fitness professionals need to understand
the connection between physiology and exercise. Readers will gain
confidence in designing exercise programs for various populations
and in their ability to explain to clients how each exercise and
movement will help them achieve their goals.
