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.

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 EdExercise Physiology for Health, Fitness, and Performance; also available on Amazon. For more advanced post-grad 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, cursory knowledge of the subject. PS I own all 3 of the titles I have mentioned.

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!

This is a excellent book. I recomend it for a good review in exercise phisiology and another important topics. You can review it with the link code in LWW (internet), and you don't need to load the book all the time

The book arrived on time. This is the bible of exercise physiology, I can't wait to expand my knowledge in this subject area.

Thanks Amazon!

I received the textbook within the week that I ordered it, and I used standard shipping. So that was awesome. Also, the book was in the exact condition as it was described. This seller did really well. Thanks so much.

It was delivered in a timely manner and arrived in the same condition that the seller described. I was satisfied. As a PT studnet,I think it was a good purchase.

when I brought this book, the page mentioned that the publishing date of the book is 2009, but the book I recieved is published in 1985, which is a 24 years difference.
