Format:Hardcover
This book by McArdle et al is essential reading for those studying fairly basic to moderately advanced exercise physiology. For those who want something a little easier to read, I would start with "Exercise Physiology" by Sharon Plowman and Denise Smith 3 Ed.(Exercise Physiology for Health, Fitness, and Performance also available on Amazon. For more advanced "stuff", I would also recommend "ACSM's Advanced Exercise Physiology". In my opinion, McArdle's .. book is an indispensible text for all readers interested in exercise physiology other than for those who only require a really basic knowledge of the subject. PS I own all 3 of the titles I have mentioned.
As with Plowman and Smith's text: perhaps, one of the best features - the full text online access (including additional resources such as worksheets with answers, quiz banks and much more).

Excellent Textbook on the subject:Also a good reference
20 Dec 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This excellent book covers more than the basics of exercise physiology with hundreds of references to studies, charts and graphs. Everything, it seemed to me, was backed by empirical evidence. There is still much to be learned in this field, but I think anyone interested in the subject would do well to own this textbook. It is written on an introductory college level, in my opinion. I rated it 5 stars based on the presentation of the material and sound scientific basis for ideas presented.

Very informative

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
A great book and a great resource for anyone looking for a basic understanding of exercise physiology -- The citations are clear, the information is pretty thorough, and the illustrations and charts are easy to interpret. In addition to basic physiology, the book also includes fitness guidelines and other resources you wouldn't necessarily expect to find.
If you are planning for a career in this field, this book would be a good one to keep in your collection as opposed to just throwing it away or selling it after you pass the course. Happy reading!
