• Summary:The leading textbook for undergraduate exercise physiology courses, Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Fifth Edition, has been fully updated in both content and design. The authors, all distinguished researchers and past presidents of the American College of Sports Medicine, combine their expertise to deliver superior technical content while maintaining an accessible, reader-friendly format. The fifth edition has been redesigned to enhance its visual appeal and provide students with an improved learning experience. Completely revamped photos, illustrations, and medical artwork offer a higher level of detail and clarity to better illustrate how the body performs and responds to physical activity. In addition, the text features new and updated content based on the latest research in the field as well as a reorganized chapter structure. To facilitate a more integrated learning experience, Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Fifth Edition, has an accompanying web study guide. The study guide offers updated learning activities that complement each chapter in the book, and study guide reminders in the text prompt students when to access the guide to practice, review, and develop their understanding of chapter concepts.
