Physiology of Sports and Exercise Science is an academic text that studies how the human body responds and adapts to physical activity and exercise. It explores the functions of major systems—muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, and endocrine—in relation to performance, endurance, and recovery. The book also examines energy metabolism, fatigue, thermoregulation, and the effects of training on physiological systems. By understanding these mechanisms, athletes, coaches, and sports scientists can optimize training programs, enhance performance, prevent injuries, and promote overall health, making it a foundational resource in sports science and exercise physiology. - Key Systems: Muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, and endocrine systems. - Energy & Metabolism: Covers ATP production, energy pathways, and fatigue management. - Physiological Adaptation: How training affects strength, endurance, and recovery. - Environmental Effects: Thermoregulation, hydration, and altitude impacts on performance. - Applications: Designing training programs, improving performance, injury prevention, and health promotion.
Sports Nutrition: Energy, Metabolism and Exercise is a comprehensive guide designed for athletes, coaches, fitness professionals, and students of sports science. This resource explores the intricate relationship between food, energy production, and physical performance. Packed with up-to-date research and practical strategies, this product delves into: How the body uses energy during different types of exercise The role of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in fueling performance Metabolic adaptations to training Pre-, intra-, and post-workout nutrition strategies Hydration, electrolytes, and recovery essentials Evidence-based supplementation for performance and recovery
This social and cultural history of Civil War medicine and science sheds important light on the question of why and how anti-Black racism survived the destruction of slavery. During the war, white Northerners promoted ideas about Black inferiority under the guise of medical and scientific authority. In particular, the Sanitary Commission and Army medical personnel conducted wartime research aimed at proving Black medical and biological inferiority. They not only subjected Black soldiers and refugees from slavery to substandard health care but also scrutinized them as objects of study. This mistreatment of Black soldiers and civilians extended after life to include dissection, dismemberment, ...

"German physiologist Nathan Zuntz (1847-1920) was a modern mastermind of translational, integrative-organismic physiology and systems biology. With over 700 publications in his physiological oeuvre, Zuntz was one of the most comprehensive researchers published in the German-speaking world. Zuntz's inventions, including the treadmill and the transportable gas meter, became milestones in the history of physiology. This publication provides a comprehensive examination of his working philosophy, while further elucidating why Berlin became a focus point of high altitude physiology and aviation medicine at the turn of the twentieth century." --Book Jacket.
