Opis: Exercise Physiology for Health, Fitness, and Performance - Sharon A. Plowman, Denise L. Smith

Updated for its Fourth Edition with increased art and photos, this undergraduate exercise physiology textbook integrates basic exercise physiology with research studies to stimulate learning, allowing readers to apply principles in the widest variety of exercise and sport science careers. The book has comprehensive coverage, including integrated material on special populations, and a flexible organization of independent units, so instructors can teach according to their preferred approach. Each unit is designed with a consistent and comprehensive sequence of presentation: basic anatomy and physiology, the measurement and meaning of variables important to understanding exercise physiology, exercise responses, training principles, and special applications, problems, and considerations. Plowman & Smith provides a consistently organized, comprehensive approach to Exercise Physiology with excellent supporting ancillary materials. Its ability to relate up to date research to key concepts and integrate special populations makes this book ideal for classroom use.Chapter 1 The Warm-Up Metabolic System Unit Chapter 2 Energy Production Chapter 3 Anaerobic Metabolism During Exercise Chapter 4 Aerobic Metabolism during Exercise Chapter 5 Metabolic Training Principles and Adaptations Chapter 6 Nutrition for Fitness and Athletics Chapter 7 Body Composition: Determination and Relationship to Health Chapter 8 Body Composition and Weight Control Cardiovascular System Unit Chapter 9 Respiration Chapter 10 Respiratory Exercise Response, Training Adaptations, and Special Considerations Chapter 11 The Cardiovascular System Chapter 12 Cardiovascular Responses to Exercise Chapter 13 Cardiorespiratory Training Principles and Adaptations Chapter 14 Thermoregulation Chapter 15 Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors and Physical Activity Neuromuscular-Skeletal System Unit Chapter 16 Skeletal System Chapter 17 Skeletal Muscle System Chapter 18 Muscular Contraction and Movement Chapter 19 Muscular Training Principles and Adaptations Chapter 20 Neuromuscular Aspects of Movement Neuroendocrine-Immune System Unit Chapter 21 Neurohormonal Control of Exercise Chapter 22 The Immune System, Exercise, Training, and Illness Appendix A Units of Measure, the Metric System, and Conversions between the English and Metric Systems of Measurement Appendix B Metabolic Calculations Appendix C Answers to Check Your Comprehension Boxes Glossary Index
