About the Book

Combining research with extensive visual aids, Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Ninth Edition With HKPropel Access, offers a simple way for students to explore the body's response to various types and intensities of exercise and sports. The ninth edition of the text continues its legacy as a top physiology resource and favorite of instructors and students alike.

Written by a team of distinguished researchers, all past presidents of the American College of Sports Medicine, this ninth edition has been updated based on the most recent standards and guidelines in the field of exercise physiology. It continues its rich tradition of offering superior illustrations, photos, and medical artwork with a modern look to encourage a deep understanding of complex topics.

Related multimedia components delivered through HKPropel further enrich the learning experience: 26 animations and 66 audio clips offer explanations of elaborate physiological processes. More than 30 video clips feature leaders in the field discussing central topics, including several new clips to help students connect theoretical and practical concepts. The digital elements have been refreshed and modernized for this edition, and QR codes throughout the text help you reach the content quickly.

Various types of online learning activities, key term flash card reviews, and key term quizzes offer interactive opportunities to engage with the content, including the ability for instructors to assign and track progress directly through HKPropel. Chapter quizzes may also be assigned; these are automatically graded in order to test comprehension of critical concepts.

In addition to a refreshed chapter-opening format that draws readers in, Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Ninth Edition, incorporates the latest research in the field:

  • New content on energy sources used in exercise
  • Expanded content on fatigue and exercise performance
  • Expanded coverage of the interactive effects of insulin and exercise
  • More detail on lactate threshold and lactate shuttle
  • Content on the role of vascular changes in skeletal muscle health and function
  • Updated Research Perspective sidebars, including over 60 new sidebars, that emphasize emerging findings in the field
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, 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 updated 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. The ninth edition offers dynamic and interactive learning activities, easy-to-follow layouts, and research-oriented content enriched with visual supplements.

Note: A code for accessing HKPropel is included with this ebook.
