Practical applications of physiology of exercise factual materials
found in the Applied Physiology of Exercise textbook are of
paramount importance to understand the principles of training. The
Applied Physiology of Exercise Laboratory Manual complements the
Applied Physiology of Exercise textbook where practical
applications in both laboratory and field settings are shared.
These practical applications are mostly through personal research
at the Nanyang Technological University, National Institute of
Education, and Human Bioenergetics Laboratory of Singapore. The
uniqueness of the laboratory sessions found in the manual was
attested to the many hours of hard laboratory research work. For
example, the Running Energy Research Index (RERI) Laboratory was
born as a result of a 10-year long research. This laboratory
research work, like the other researched laboratory sessions in the
manual, is then used in practical sessions in physiology of
exercise classes to fine-tune the best possible learning
experiences for students. After a long process of fine tuning and
constructive feasibility, the laboratory sessions became concrete
and designed specifically for this manual.

This book is suitable for anyone interested in training with the
use of science. Training has to be science-based and science is the
only way forward, thus the book title indicates Applied Physiology
of Exercise. Any training can be answered with physiological
rationale. If it cannot be answered, people are moving away from
specific intelligent training and into erroneous combination
high-load training (for example, combining aerobic and anaerobic
interval training in a single training session) that may not elicit
a higher percentage of physiological adaptations but may induce
injuries as the body is not conditioned properly. Combination
high-level training may be introduced at a later stage once an
individual goes through specific conditioning following a general
conditioning of building the 'base' or 'foundation' period for at
least six months. Factual training with science takes time to
attain superior performance without performance-enhancing drugs or
supplements such as growth hormones and testosterone. Gathering the
'right' knowledge is important and hopefully readers will be better
equipped after reading this book. There are questions in each
chapter to enhance learning and comprehension. It requires readers
to think, rationalize, answer, and apply the facts to training or
weight loss programs. These questions aim to ignite the critical
component of learning as readers critique and re-analyze their
training program. Even though each training could be different with
everyone holding on to a different training philosophy, facts
through science are universal for all.
