Product Description
Written by international experts in physiology, exercise physiology, and research, ACSM's Advanced Exercise Physiology gives students an advanced level of understanding of exercise physiology. It emphasizes the acute and chronic effects of exercise on various physiological systems in adults and the integrative nature of these physiological responses. Chapters detail how different body systems respond to exercise. Systems include nervous, skeletal, muscular, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, metabolic, endocrine, immune, renal, and hematopoietic systems. Additional chapters explain how these responses are altered by heat, cold, hypoxia, microgravity, bed rest, and hyperbaria. Milestones of Discovery pages describe classic or memorable experiments in exercise physiology. LiveAdvise online faculty support and student tutoring services are available free with the text.

Not for Beginners December 19, 2006

I tried reading this book the first time and only understood about 20% of what i was reading. So I stopped, bought and read the book Physiology of Sport and Exercise before reading this one, believe me it makes a big difference. This is an advanced book with advanced terminology, but damn is it thorough. This first few chapters are boring because they mostly talk about the locomotion involved with walking, the spinal cord and nervious system. But when it gets into the skeletal muscle chapters, it get very interesting. I advise anyone who plans on reading this to go through it slowly and highlight or underline the important sentences. Now i probably understand 95% of what I am reading.
