Updated - references wrong!
7 Jan 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The content of this book was great! However I found it very frustrating that the content had recently been updated so the text would reference the diagram on the right and it would actually be the back of the page. There were also a few aggravating typos that caused a little bit of confusion, nothing with content, but purely grammatical. The version update was done very very sloppy!

This book is chock-full of pertinent, straight to the point exercise physiology fitness information. It is well organized. There are plenty of visual aids in the forms of graphs and diagrams. Also, I enjoy the "clinical application" and "a look back" sections. Even when I get behind in my reading assignments, I am always compelled to go back and read what I missed simply to gain the understanding. This text also includes valuable nuggets of nutrition and chemistry to offer a more robust view of exercise physiology's theory and application to fitness and performance. Another good thing is that the average chapter size is roughly 20 pages. Bite sized!
Classic, but needs a polish

This is a text that all human based scientists could benefit from.
It is in fact, the definitive work for those in sports medicine, and does more than McCardle, Katch and Katch, with less space. However, its place in science's hall of fame also hints at its limits.
If you buy it for your physiology 101, you won't go wrong.
