The book is well-detailed with clear explanations, scientific data, and tables. I did not read all the details, you guide your interest to the activity that you pursue. Nevertheless is complete with references and I liked a lot the organization of the text.

The first section on cell biology was a good refresher but the rest was mostly info most of us already know except for highly detailed training schedules.
