Combining research with extensive visual aids, Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Ninth Edition With HKPropel Access, offers a simple way for students to explore the body’s response to various types and intensities of exercise and sports. The ninth edition of the text continues its legacy as a top physiology resource and favorite of instructors and students alike.Written by a team of distinguished researchers, all past presidents of the American College of Sports Medicine, this ninth edition has been updated based on the most recent standards and guidelines in the field of exercise physiology. It continues its rich tradition of offering superior illustrations, photos, and medical artwork with a modern look to encourage a deep understanding of complex topics.Related multimedia components delivered through HKPropel further enrich the learning experience: 26 animations and 66 audio clips offer explanations of elaborate physiological processes. More than 30 video clips feature leaders in the field discussing central topics, including several new clips to help students connect theoretical and practical concepts. The digital elements have been refreshed and modernized for this edition, and QR codes throughout the text help you reach the content quickly.Various types of online learning activities, key term flash card reviews, and key term quizzes offer interactive opportunities to engage with the content, including the ability for instructors to assign and track progress directly through HKPropel. Chapter quizzes may also be assigned; these are automatically graded in order to test comprehension of critical concepts.In addition to a refreshed chapter-opening format that draws readers in, Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Ninth Edition, incorporates the latest research in the field: New content on energy sources used in exercise Expanded content on fatigue and exercise performance Expanded coverage of the interactive effects of insulin and exercise More detail on lactate threshold and lactate shuttle Content on the role of vascular changes in skeletal muscle health and function Updated Research Perspective sidebars, including over 60 new sidebars, that emphasize emerging findings in the field 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, 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 updated 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. The ninth edition offers dynamic and interactive learning activities, easy-to-follow layouts, and research-oriented content enriched with visual supplements.Note: A code for accessing HKPropel is included with all new print books.

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.Earn continuing education credits/units! A continuing education exam that uses this book is also available. It may be purchased separately or as part of a package that includes both the book and exam.
