5.0 out of 5 stars
Review not from an exercise physiologist.,

This review is from: Physiology of Sport and Exercise W/ Keycode Letter (Hardcover)
I'm electrical engineer but I enjoy practicing and learning about sports and exercise physiology.
I consider reading this book better than buying thousands of sport/fitness magazines because the last one are not, in general, scientifically founded and full of wrong (market driven an potentially dangerous for your health) information. Of course, if you are not a exercise physiologist or do not have an undergraduate degree in correlated area you can have some difficult to cope with the book, but a basic knowledge in chemistry and biology can help to overcome most of them and learn the foundations. Additionally, the book offers hundreds of references which can be helpful for further reading.

Good and interesting,

This review is from: Physiology of Sport and Exercise-3rd Edition (Hardcover)
The book goes a little deeper into the world of humans and sport. It touches on common themes like cell/muscle anatomy, energy systems, adaptations to training, nutrition etc. If you have read on these topics in the past, you'll find this book helpful as it reviews the basics and then probes just a little bit deeper into the subjects. One of my better school books :-)
It is a technical book with good illustrations and pictures. I would grade it as an intermediate level material. You can read this as a beginner but it would be a slow read as you'd have to get a understanding of all the concepts...It is like reading an upgraded version of college biology - first time it's a lot of studying, the second time you'll review and pic up on new little details...
