Exercise Physiology: For Health and Sports Performance brings together all the essential human anatomy and applied physiology that students of exercise science, physical education and sports coaching will need to know. Written in a friendly, accessible style and containing a wide range of features to help develop understanding, this book provides a complete one-stop-shop for exercise physiology broken down into three fundamental sections; Foundations of Exercise Physiology, Applied Exercise Physiology and the new part three – Exercise Prescription. With section one and two examining the theory, testing and practical applications of Exercise Physiology, this new section reflects the changes in the field by increasing focus on physical activity and special populations and helps provides a more complete course text for any exercise physiology course at universities around the world. The newly revised book is key reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of Exercise Physiology, Sports Performance, Sports Therapy, Fitness and Personal Training and other related sport science courses.

Physical activity and its relationship to health is one of the great issues of our age. The causes of, and solutions to, physical inactivity are complex and multi-dimensional, and therefore the subject needs to be studied and understood from a variety of perspectives. This is the first textbook to provide a truly multi-disciplinary introduction to physical activity studies. Offering a complete foundation to the subject, it covers the basics of every core discipline from biochemistry, public health and biomechanics to physiology, sport psychology and sociology. It introduces a full range of topics across the physical activity curriculum, including behaviour change, motor skill development, nutrition, exercise prescription, public health policy, and physical education, providing a well-balanced and international perspective on each important issue. There is also a strong emphasis throughout the book on the practical, applied dimensions of physical activity, including innovative approaches to promotion and intervention tailored to every age range and environment. Physical Activity: A Multi-disciplinary Introduction is an indispensable companion to any course or degree programme with an emphasis on physical activity and health. A variety of exclusive eResources to aid teaching and learning are also available via the Routledge website.
