The Winner!

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2003

Verified Purchase

Although it runs to 1158 pages, this winning book, long recognized as THE leading exercise physiology text, stays succinct and engaging--and not one page too long. A key asset of this book is its close engagement with the scientific literature, which appears throughout in the form of unobtrusive but crucial little superscripted numbers that cite published studies. The references exceed in both depth and richness other exercise physiology texts like Baechle's very good "Essentials of Strength and Conditioning," Power and Howley's popular "Exercise Physiology," and certainly the authors' own 678-page "Essentials of Exercise Physiology," a shorter text that breezily dumps its references at the end of each chapter without numbering them or citing them in context. The definitive coverage of many popular fitness subjects, from exercise selection to steroids to nutrition, make this masterful book not only a pre-eminent text, but great reading for any consumer who, tired of the ridiculous claims of the diet and fitness industry, seeks authoritative answers.

An Excellent Reference Book

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2006

Verified Purchase

This is the only reference book I have and need on Exercise Physiology. Most useful to me are chapters on performance enhacement, high altitude acclimatisation and physical training for seniors. The first few introductory chapters and the first few pages of each chapter remind me of my basic life sciences. The authors then focus on the application of cell biology to training. The thing I like most about this book, is that there is no "guru talk". Every piece of advice is based on currect research.

The book is divided into 7 sections. 1. Nutrition, 2. Energy production, 3. Energy Delivery & Utilisation, 3. Enhancement of Energy Capacity, 4. Environmental Stress, 5. Body Composition & Weight Control, 7. Successful Aging, Disease Prevention.

It's a very thick book, but the paper quality is high and the colourful illustrations make it a joy to read. However, this is not simple book for the average man on the street. There is nothing sensational here - just pure science. Readers without a background in the life sciences may not be able to follow.

Very Detailed Information

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

I wanted an exercise and nutrition physiology book that went into detail about what happens when you exercise, eat, ect. This book is great. I have read several nutrition and exercise science books, but I like this one the best because it goes into a lot of detail about what happens in your body when you eat and exercise. When you are informed about what happens to your body when you eat then you are more likely to make better food choices. Same goes for exercise. The book also goes into the physiology of aging and exercise.

Great book on exercise physiology

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

A lot to wade through, but all facts, no b.s. from trainers who hear stuff from people talking through their hats, or archaic beliefs passed down from coaches who rely on bad theory learned ages ago, and never met a fact they thought mattered.

Abandon hearsay in your training. Training and eating right is not that difficult, and makes a huge difference.

Be all you can be. Start with knowledge.

Definitve Coverage of the subject

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2008

Exercise Physiology: Energy, Nutrition, and Human Performance (Exercise Physiology ( MC Ardle))

When I first considered this book, I thought it was a little pricey. Now that I have it on my shelf, I think it would be cheap at twice the price. Every time I have a question on my personal fitness program, I find the answer in McArdle. Even when I don't have a question, simply reading the book teaches me things that I need to know and hadn't thought about. An excellent value.

A One Stop resource for exercise science majors!

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2012

Verified Purchase

First of all, I only paid $0.20 for this book (not including shipping). I knew it was a steal right away specially since it was new. I skimmed through the first few pages and the information is straight forward. I'm not sure if its something that would be assigned for a class setting though. It;s more ideal for someone with the knowledge already and needs reference points. Regardless, with over a 1000 pages, this textbook is like a bible for those in the exercise science fields.

Bought by mistake. Thought it was 7th edition. Have the 6th edition and it is 5 stars for sure!! . Anyway this is the 4th edition, it has some good fundamental stuff, but lacking latest research. Dont buy, ,,, get the 6th edition used or the 7th if you find a good price on it.
