Setting the standard for more than 30 years, nearly half a million students have built a
solid foundation of the scientific principles underlying modern exercise physiology
with
Exercise Physiology
by William D. McArdle, Frank I. Katch, and Victor L. Katch..
This Eighth Edition is updated with the latest research in the field to provide current
coverage of how nutrition, energy transfer, and exercise training affect human
performance.
A vibrant new full color “magazine style” design, along with updated art in every
chapter, works hand in hand with the descriptive content, making even complex topics
easier to understand and key information easier to locate.
Throughout the text, the authors apply exercise physiology principles to practical skills,
illustrate how theory comes to life through research, and clarify complex issues and
problems. References posted online provide the evidence behind the science, as well as
a complete list for further reading.
