Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Eighth Edition With HKPropel
Access, continues its legacy as a top physiology textbook and
favorite of instructors and students alike. Combining research with
extensive visual aids, this resource offers a simple way for
students to explore the body’s response to various types and
intensities of exercise and sports. Written by a team of
distinguished researchers, all past presidents of the American
College of Sports Medicine, this eighth edition has been updated
based on the most recent standards and guidelines in the field of
exercise physiology. The text builds upon the previous edition’s
high standards for illustrations, photos, and medical artwork with
a refreshed, more sophisticated look to encourage a deep
understanding of complex topics. Multimedia components delivered
through HKPropel include 26 animations that offer a dynamic way to
experience physiological concepts and 66 audio clips that offer
explanations of elaborate physiological processes. Leaders in the
field help students connect theoretical and practical concepts in
27 video clips. Learning assessments and key term flash cards offer
additional interactive opportunities to explore the content, and QR
codes throughout the text notify students when complementary
digital components are available. Physiology of Sport and Exercise,
Eighth Edition, features the following enhancements based on the
latest research in the field: Additional information on cellular
signaling and molecular adaptations Expanded content on obesity and
sports nutrition Reorganized and expanded chapters on energy
expenditure and exercise prescription that make the content more
accessible to students Extensive updates on important topics,
including bioinformatics and big data, reading research articles,
molecular mechanisms of increased protein synthesis, muscle cramps,
and mitochondrial oxidation Updated Research Perspective sidebars
that emphasize emerging findings in the field and a Research
Perspectives Finder to help students locate key content quickly As
in previous editions, readability and ease of understanding make
Physiology of Sport and Exercise different from other physiology
resources. Unique learning aids, including chapter-opening outlines
and review boxes throughout each chapter, will help students focus
on the major concepts addressed. Study questions and a list of key
terms at the end of each chapter provide opportunities for recall
and self-assessment. A comprehensive glossary and lists of common
abbreviations and conversions provide easy reference for students.
Physiology of Sport and Exercise has been a pivotal textbook in the
field of exercise physiology. Through this edition’s dynamic and
interactive learning activities, easy-to-follow layouts, and
research-oriented content enriched with visual supplements,
students and instructors will find this an invaluable resource for

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.

La quinta edicion de Fisiologia del Deporte y el Ejercicio, el
libro de texto preferido en los programas de estudio de fisiologia
del ejercicio, ha sido completamente actualizada, tanto en su
contenido como en su diseno grafico. Todos los autores son
investigadores destacados y expresidentes del American College of
Sports Medicine. Su amplia experiencia ha permitido conformar un
libro con un contenido tecnico de excelencia pero que conserva, a
la vez, un formato facilmente comprensible para el estudiante,
caracteristicas que han llevado a esta obra a ser la elegida por
los docentes y los alumnos. Esta edicion se ha redisenado para
conseguir un aspecto visual mas atractivo, que facilite a los
estudiantes el proceso de aprendizaje. Las nuevas fotografias e
ilustraciones tienen mayor detalle y claridad, y muestran de forma
mas precisa el funcionamiento del organismo y sus respuestas a la
actividad fisica. El texto tambien se ha redactado nuevamente a fin
de que se integre con las figuras, lo que facilita la comprension
de los temas expuestos. Ademas de las nuevas ilustraciones, el
contenido de Fisiologia del Deporte y el Ejercicio se ha
actualizado conforme a las ultimas investigaciones, e incluye: *
Nuevo texto en los capitulos sobre entrenamiento de la resistencia,
que comprende los principios sobre el entrenamiento de la fuerza
basados en la informacion de la ACSM de 2009 y nuevas secciones
sobre la fuerza, el entrenamiento de la estabilidad y el
entrenamiento intermitente de alta intensidad * Los capitulos sobre
metabolismo y control hormonal se han reorganizado y actualizado
por completo conforme a los comentarios recibidos de los docentes,
a fin de ayudar a los estudiantes a comprender mejor estos sistemas
complejos * Nuevos contenidos sobre el acido lactico como fuente de
energia, calambres musculares, obesidad infantil, utilizacion de
sustratos y respuesta endocrina al ejercicio y envejecimiento de
los vasos sanguineos * Cobertura actualizada de las funciones
cardiacas centrales y perifericas, la triada de las atletas y el
ciclo menstrual * Nuevas investigaciones sobre los efectos de la
actividad fisica sobre la salud, que incluyen los datos
internacionales sobre la incidencia de las enfermedades
cardiovasculares y la obesidad Una de las caracteristicas
tradicionalmente apreciadas de este libro es su claridad en la
exposicion de los temas. Esta edicion continua ofreciendo un
tratamiento integral de la compleja relacion entre la fisiologia
humana y el ejercicio, conservando a la vez un enfoque ameno y que
consigue captar el interes del alumno. Sus caracteristicas
pedagogicas singulares permiten a los estudiantes adquirir
conocimientos a medida que descubren la profundidad y la amplitud
de este campo de estudio fascinante. El diseno del libro, con
