Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Eighth Edition With HKPropel Access, continues its legacy as a top physiology textbook and favorite of instructors and students alike. Combining research with extensive visual aids, this resource offers a simple way for students to explore the body’s response to various types and intensities of exercise and sports. Written by a team of distinguished researchers, all past presidents of the American College of Sports Medicine, this eighth edition has been updated based on the most recent standards and guidelines in the field of exercise physiology. The text builds upon the previous edition’s high standards for illustrations, photos, and medical artwork with a refreshed, more sophisticated look to encourage a deep understanding of complex topics. Related multimedia components delivered through HKPropel further enrich the learning experience with 26 animations that offer a dynamic way to experience physiological concepts and 66 audio clips that offer explanations of elaborate physiological processes. Leaders in the field help students connect theoretical and practical concepts in 27 video clips. Various types of online learning activities, key term flash card reviews, and key term quizzes offer interactive opportunities to engage with the content—all of which can be assigned, and progress tracked, by instructors directly through HKPropel. In addition, chapter quizzes (assessments) may also be assigned; these are automatically graded to test comprehension of critical concepts. QR codes throughout the text notify students when complementary digital components are available.Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Eighth Edition, features the following enhancements based on the latest research in the Additional information on cellular signaling and molecular adaptationsExpanded content on obesity and sports nutritionReorganized and expanded chapters on energy expenditure and exercise prescription that make the content more accessible to studentsExtensive updates on important topics, including bioinformatics and big data, reading research articles, molecular mechanisms of increased protein synthesis, muscle cramps, and mitochondrial oxidationUpdated Research Perspective sidebars that emphasize emerging findings in the field and a Research Perspectives Finder to help students locate key content quickly As in previous editions, readability and ease of understanding make Physiology of Sport and Exercise different from other physiology resources. Unique learning aids, including chapter-opening outlines and review boxes throughout each chapter, will help students focus on the major concepts addressed. Study questions and a list of key terms at the end of each chapter provide opportunities for recall and self-assessment. A comprehensive glossary and lists of common abbreviations and conversions provide easy reference for students.Physiology of Sport and Exercise has been a pivotal textbook in the field of exercise physiology. Through this edition’s dynamic and interactive learning activities, easy-to-follow layouts, and research-oriented content enriched with visual supplements, students and instructors will find this an invaluable resource for their continued education.

Highly recommend to learn foundation of exercise physiology

Wow. Great read! Well structured content builds up your understanding of the relevant physiological processes, then covers in detail the changes that accompany exercise in the body. Information is well cited, with example studies, and it's clearly pointed out when research has been inconclusive on a point.

KPE264: Exercise Physiology

Learned about bioenergetics, non-oxidative and oxidative metabolism during exercise, respiratory and cardiovascular function in exercise and cardiorespiratory integration and adaptations to exercise.

This book was kind of good, but not great. I had to straighten out some stuff from the metabolism chapters for my students.

I learned a lot. I previously had not known about the ATP pcr and the Krebs cycle , and it explained these well.
