Exercise Physiology: A Thematic Approach introduces studentswith little or no background in human biology to the fundamentalsof the physiological processes involved in sports performance. Itscentral theme is the physiological explanation of maximal oxygenuptake, one of the key concepts in sport and exercise physiologycourses. It also includes material on anaerobic metabolism, carbondioxide excretion and some special cases such as oxygen uptake ataltitude and in a variety of extreme climates.
* Clearly written to provides a logical, linear development ofthe key concepts.
* Maximises the use of student's practical laboratoryexperiences.
* Includes numerous sporting examples to which students canrelate.
* Excellent pedagogy including learning objectives, problems,objective tests and a glossary of terms and symbols.
This is the first title in an exciting new series of SportsScience textbooks - Wiley SportTexts. It aims to providetextbooks covering the key disciplines within the academic study ofsport. The series adopts a student-centred, interactive,problem-solving approach with the students' immediatepractical experience as the starting point.
