Senior BSSS

Build a solid foundation in the scientific principles underlying modern exercise physiology. This Eighth Edition is updated with the latest research in the field to give you easy-to-understand, up-to-date coverage of how nutrition, energy transfer, and exercise training affect human performance. Gain an understanding of how researchers contribute to our knowledge of exercise physiology through engaging section-opening interviews with key figures in the field. Learn how theoretical concepts relate to practical skills. Visit the free companion website for anywhere, anytime access to over 30 animations of key exercise physiology concepts, the book's complete list of references.

The book collates the relationships between exercise and the environment in a single volume. The human interacts with environmental factors in complex ways. The aim of this text is to provide a comprehensive coverage of the environmental influences that impact on the individual when exercising or competing in sport. The main environmental factors are considered in turn, the physiological reactions to discrete environmental stresses are described and methods of adaptation or coping are explained. Evidence-based information and highly respected references dominates the text, lending credibility to the material. The coverage maintains strong focus throughout, placing constant emphasis on the physics and physiology of the environmental stress. Helpful information on the impact on the individual doing activity offers other important information, necessary to real-world practice. The issues of acclimatization are addressed before recommendations, helping practitioners to cope with common issues.

The leading textbook for undergraduate exercise physiology courses, this text presents the complex relationship between human physiology and exercise in a comprehensive format. Ease of reading and understanding is the cornerstone for this popular text. The Web site format of the student guide allows students to practice, review, and develop knowledge and skills about the physiology of sport and exercise. Key terms are listed at the end of the chapter and defined in the glossary. The glossary and index help students navigate both the text and subject matter. A listing of references and selected readings provide additional information about topics of special interest. New information regarding exercise training principles and the adaptations in muscle, hormonal control, neural control, metabolism, and cardiorespiratory function with both resistance training and aerobic and anaerobic training. There is an in-depth presentation of the body's adaptations in hot and cold environments and at altitude. Includes the latest research in exercise prescription for health and fitness, including the unique role of physical activity for rehabilitation and the prevention and control of cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes. Key concepts are reinforced as students conduct self-made experiments and record their own physiological responses to exercise. In addition, the study guide offers access links to scientific and professional journals as well as organization and career information.

Written especially for exercise science and physical education students, this text provides a solid foundation in theory illuminated by application and performance models to increase understanding and to help students apply what they've learned in the classroom and beyond.

Covers topics on physiology and fitness, including coverage of Healthy People 2010/2020, the nationwide initiative sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to improve the nation's health, as well as topics on diseases and conditions related to fitness.

This set provides more than 1,230 alphabetically arranged entries, of which about 100 are new, covering topics in body systems and functions, conditions and common diseases, contemporary health care issues and theories, techniques and practices, and devices and equipment. It covers all major health professions, including nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, respiratory therapy and more.

The Respiratory System explains how we get air into our lungs, how our bodies use that air, and the fundamental physical and biological principles underlying respiratory function. In addition, this essential title examines several respiratory diseases and how they affect the body as a whole. Packed with full-color photographs and illustrations, this absorbing book provides students with sufficient background information through references, websites, and suggested reading for further study.

In The Skeletal and Muscular Systems, Second Edition, learn how these two systems interact to keep the human body alive and in motion. Packed with full-color photographs and illustrations, this absorbing book provides students with sufficient background information through references, websites, and a bibliography.

In this eBook particular emphasis is placed on such high-interest topics as sports medicine, specifically the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries. Type "injuries" into the search field to find information.
