Product Description
Review
"This is a worthwhile book for any student or scientist who seeks to have a better understanding of this files. It takes aspects of many other books (i.e.: exercise physiology, sports nutrition,etc.) and integrates them into a single resource." (Doody's )
Product Description
Physiological Bases of Sports Performance takes an in-depth look at how the body responds to high physical activity in exercise and sport, and how to enhance performance through a variety of physiological techniques, such as training, nutrition and ergogenic aids. The book covers the basic elements of physiology and explains the effects of sport on those areas. The second section on improving sport performance provides a practical angle that will be useful for sports coaches and athletes.
Contributors of this book include leading names involved in sports physiology from around the world, many of whom are well published and have contributed to our two key sports titles, Clinical Sports Medicine and Clinical Sports Nutrition. McGraw-Hill has a well-established list of sports medicine titles and this book reinforces our profile in this area.

This review is from: Physiological Bases of Sport Performance (Paperback)
This is a text book so it is not written for the common person. I did not major in any type of biology of science, but if I slowed down, and looked up some terms, I could get the essentials that they hit on. If you are a cyclist, runner, or triathlete, and really want to know about possible limitations of your body, then you need this. If you are looking for a workout program or better ways to train, go elsewhere.
