Synopsis

For a one-semester, undergraduate course in Exercise Physiology. Also a useful prerequisite text for more advanced exercise-related courses.

Unlike most exercise physiology texts that are excessive in size and scope, this unique text/manual focuses on core topics explained in a concise writing style. Written and illustrated by authors who are both research scientists as well as teachers, it features original illustrations designed to be colored in by students. Each of the drawings―which range from simple to complex―focuses on a few important points, is clearly labeled in plain English, and is related to other drawings through the use of recurring icons and consistent color symbolism.

About this title

From the Back Cover

This unique, beautifully illustrated handbook presents a "back-to-basics" approach to exercise physiology, emphasizing understanding of fundamental principles rather than memorization of facts. Written and illustrated by authors who are both research scientists as well as teachers, it features 350 original illustrations that can be colored, allowing readers to quickly learn important concepts.

Illustrated Principles of Exercise Physiology is an invaluable resource for students in disciplines including exercise science, physical education, anatomy and physiology, nursing, physical therapy and nutrition.

FEATURES

• Concise, clear presentation covers all major topics in exercise physiology.
• Addresses varied learning styles, presenting information in three ways: once in a concisely written text, once nonverbally as a memorable diagram that can be colored, and once in a conversational figure legend that bridges the gap between text and figures.
• Includes 350 original pen-and-ink illustrations (ranging from simple to complex) designed to be colored, allowing readers to see information as it emerges.
• Unique, logical coloring scheme based on functional, anatomical, and/or artistic considerations enables readers to color every illustration without referring to a legend.
