Written at a graduate level, the Second Edition of ACSM's Advanced
Exercise Physiology enables experienced students to develop an
in-depth understanding of exercise physiology along with its related
topics and applications. Both the immediate and long-term effects of
exercise on individual body systems are described in detail, and the
text emphasizes how each body system's physiological response to
exercise is interdependent. Moreover, it examines how these
physiological responses are affected by heat, cold, hypoxia,
microgravity, rest, and hyperbaria.
This Second Edition features a team of international authors and editors
whose expertise spans general physiology, exercise physiology, and
research. Together, they have substantially revised, updated, and
reorganized the text to incorporate feedback from both instructors and
students.
