This book is briliant for student of exercise physiology.The authors has manage to write it in a form that is easy to read, and makes the understanding of the subject easy.But yet it is not written in a way that simplifies the subject like so many other books.

This text now in its 3rd edition is probably the most easy to read yet not 'dumbed down' exercise physiology text that I have come across. If I was starting undergraduate Ex. Phys again,this is the book I would like to start with. In conjunction with this, I would also recommend McArdle et al's Exercise Physiology Exercise Physiology: Nutrition, Energy, and Human Performance (Point (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins)).

Getting back to the current review, If I really had to complain about something it owuld be that I have noticed a few 'typos' and one small mis-labeling of a detailed diagram. However, I am really nit-picking here. The book is well laid out with "Chapter Objectives", easy to understand bright, colour-coded diagrams, "Clinically Relevant Information" etc etc ...

A very good book for any exercise physiologist that wants a book more advanced than the average undergrad text

I used this text in college and it was by far the most informative and easily read text I used. Hats off to the authors and contributors, job well done! I still use this book at work for reference, unfortunately other people feel its a great book and it was stolen. A text well worth replacing
