Synopsis:

This comprehensive text is designed for exercise physiology, exercise testing, physical fitness, and wellness courses, among others. It covers seven major components of physical fitness: aerobic fitness, fatigue thresholds, muscular strength, muscular endurance, muscular power, body composition and body build, and flexibility. It will be suitable for both colleges and universities with sophisticated laboratories and equipment as well as those that do not have the equipment, facilities, and/or budget to provide students with high-tech lab experiences.
