Laboratory Manual for Exercise Physiology, Exercise Testing, and
Physical Fitness is a comprehensive text that will provide students
with meaningful lab experiences--whether they have access to
sophisticated laboratories and expensive equipment, or they are
looking for procedures that can be done without costly materials.
It will be a useful resource as they prepare for a career as an
exercise science professional, athletic trainer, coach, or physical
educator. The more than 40 labs cover seven major components of
physical fitness. They are practical and easy to follow, consisting
of a clear, logical format that includes background information,
step-by-step procedures, explanatory photographs, sample
calculations, norms and classification tables, and worksheets.
Lab-ending activities and questions provide additional
opportunities to practice the procedures and explore issues of
validity, reliability, and accuracy. Readers will find this manual
a valuable tool in learning to apply physiological concepts and to
perform exercise tests, as well as an essential resource for any
career involving physical fitness and performance testing.
This lab manual is designed to benefit those colleges and
universities that offer courses with lab components in physical
fitness, exercise physiology, and healthy lifestyles but do not
have the facilities and/or budget to allow students to train in
high-tech laboratory settings. This long-overdue book-essential for
sports and exercise science departments on a budget-provides
meaningful lab experiences that don't require sophisticated and
expensive equipment. The labs were written and designed to be
self-administered or administered to others. Readers will find the
book an essential resource for any career involving physical
fitness and performance testing. This book's clear and concise
layout makes it an ideal tool both for learning and for practical
application in professional settings. The book includes 31 labs
divided into eight units: Introductory labs Aerobic fitness Fatigue
thresholds Muscular strength Muscular endurance Muscular power Body
composition and body build Flexibility Labs include these features:
Background, Terms and Abbreviations, Equipment (and pricing),
Procedures, Equations, Sample Calculations, Worksheets, Tables,
Extension Activities, and References. The manual also includes a
table of units and conversions, a list of equipment and vendors, a
Glossary, and an Index.
The fifth edition of Introduction to Exercise Science introduces
students to every core area of study in the discipline. It
comprises concise chapters which introduce the history, key lines
of inquiry relating to both health and performance, technology,
certifications, professional associations, and career opportunities
associated with each area. No other book offers such a
wide-ranging, evidence-based introduction to exercise science.
Written by leading and experienced experts, chapters include:
reading and interpreting literature measurement in exercise science
anatomy in exercise science exercise physiology exercise
epidemiology athletic training exercise and sport nutrition
biomechanics motor control exercise and sport psychology Packed
with pedagogical features-from journal abstract examples to study
questions and further reading suggestions-and accompanied by a
website including practical lab exercises, Introduction to Exercise
Science is a complete resource for a hands-on introduction to the
core tenets of exercise science. It is an engaging and invaluable
textbook for students beginning undergraduate degrees in
Kinesiology, Sport & Exercise Science, Sports Coaching,
Strength & Conditioning, Athletic Training, Sports Therapy,
Sports Medicine, and Health & Fitness.
