Instant Notes in Sport and Exercise Physiology looks at the key
topics in exercise physiology and examines how each of the
physiological systems responds to acute and chronic exercise. As
well as reviewing special topics such as nutrition, altitude,
temperature, and ergogenic acids, it assesses the importance of
exercise to health and quality of life and considers the importance
of exercise to adults, children and the elderly.
Exercise Physiology in Special Populations covers the prevalent
health conditions that are either linked to an inactive lifestyle
or whose effects can be ameliorated by increasing physical activity
and physical fitness. The book explores physiological aspects of
obesity and diabetes before moving on to cardiac disease, lung
disease, arthritis and back pain, ageing and older people, bone
health, the female participant, neurological and neuromuscular
disorders, and spinal chord injury. The author team includes many
of the UK's leading researchers and exercise science and
rehabilitation practitioners that specialise in each of the topic
areas. New to the popular Advances in Sport and Exercise Science
series, this book covers key aspects of exercise physiology
including: .Coronary Heart Disease & Cardiac Dysfunction
.Neurological disorders (Strokes, Parkinson's Disease, Multiple
