Applied Exercise and Sport Physiology

0.0

Professional physical educators, coaches, and exercise professionals must understand the physiological mechanisms underlying various training programs. Professionals in these areas need to use scientifically based information to develop appropriate unit plans for students in physical education classes, organize effective practice sessions for athletes, and prescribe safe and productive training programs for those interested in improving health-related fitness. Applied Exercise and Sport Physiology, Second Edition, will provide you with that information. Using an applied approach, this book offers a succinct yet thorough introduction to basic principles of exercise physiology.
