Product Description
Product Description
Written especially for exercise science and physical education students, this text provides a solid foundation in theory illuminated by application and performance models to increase understanding and to help students apply what they've learned in the classroom and beyond.
From the Publisher
Restructures the manual into parts that correspond to fitness components and physiological systems: strength testing, anaerobic exercise, aerobic exercise, cardiovascular testing respiratory testing, flexibility testing, and body composition.
Expands the coverage of basic data collection to consider the distinction between mass, force, and weight and the procedures for measuring stature and body mass.
Simplifies the calculations so they are less complicated and easier to understand enabling students to solve problems more readily.
Revises the fitness vs. time continuum to coincide with the latest research including new figures and new tables.
Adds Internet resources that provide web addresses in selected references so students may explore various topics in depth.
Provides "Calibration Boxes" throughout the text for those who want to go into further depth with the instruments.
Features clearly laid out testing procedures and usable end-of-chapter forms that havae been revised for even greater clarity making this a practical text to use in the lab.
Includes "Accuracy Boxes" throughout the text to aid in examining the validity and reliability of the tests performed.
Uses a consistent format that is easy to follow and takes care not not use expensive and elaborate equipment to ensure lab assignments that can be conducted in most exercise physiology labs.
Features new illustrations to stimulate students' interest in the lab activities and reinforce the manual's content. --This text refers to the Spiral-bound edition.

The best and most comprehensive hands-on material available
19 Aug 1998
Format:Spiral-bound
This lab manual is the best I have seen. Both experienced and novice practitioners will find this book a valuable resource. Field and clinical tests are presented for each component of exercise physiology: aerobic, anaerobic, pulmonary, cardiovacular, body composition, etc. Each chapter begins with enough theoretical background to fully understand the physiological responses. The methods are detailed enough for the novice to follow, but advanced enough for the experienced technician to gain insights. The results and discussion sections provide excellent insights as well as tables of comparative and interpretive data. It is one of my most used shelf and lab references.

Physiology Workbook

Format:Spiral-bound|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book was advertised as 'like new'; however, there were important pages ripped out. This is in no way a book that is like new. Extremely unsatisfied.

Exactly what I wanted

Format:Spiral-bound|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book was great, it was in good condition with just a few markings but besided that it was in good condition. the only issue i had was that the shipping took longer than i expected. The discription of the product told me there would be wear and tear but the book was actually in better condition than what i expected.
