*Exercise and Sport Pharmacology*, 2nd Edition, is a textbook designed to teach upper-level undergraduate and entry-level graduate students how drugs affect exercise and how exercise alters drug action.
The volume connects disease pathology, exercise physiology, and pharmacology across major therapeutic categories, including cardiovascular and respiratory drugs, as well as treatments for diabetes, depression, pain, and obesity. It also explores self-medication, dietary supplements, and substances such as caffeine, ethanol, and cannabis.
To support learning, each chapter opens with an ongoing case example to preview and apply core concepts, alongside a dedicated section evaluating whether the featured substances possess performance-enhancing potential.
