Exercise physiology : human bioenergetics and its applications

As with the first edition, we remain extremely enthusiastic about our field. We believe that no greater interest can be generated for the study of physiology than that involved in analyzing human performance during motor activities, particularly when the student's object of study is himself or herself. Because so many of us are engaged in lifestyles that require high-energy outputs, it is important that we understand our physiological capacities for exercise, which largely determine our success and enjoyment in many areas. Studying exercise physiology not only allows students to understand the mechanisms governing their own performance but also enables them to be aware of performance in athletics, work, the performing arts, recreation, and preventive and rehabilitative medicine. Thus this book links the student of physiology to the reader's own self-interest.
