The 2nd Edition of Exercise Physiology presents human anatomy and applied physiology for health and sports performance. Authored by Nick Draper, Craig Williams, and Helen Marshall, this textbook connects biological systems with practical physical activity principles across sports contexts.
The text addresses basic biological mechanisms, focusing on nutrition for health and sports performance, cellular structures, and control systems within the nervous and endocrine networks. It explores physiological energy demands across distinct athletic disciplines, examining power and power endurance in explosive sports, anaerobic endurance in speed endurance sports, high-intensity aerobic endurance sports, and intermittent sports.
A newly structured third section focuses on physical activity prescription for physical activity and diverse populations, introducing exercise programming, conditioning, and strength training principles. This section offers targeted learning support for undergraduate students and postgraduate students pursuing coursework in exercise science, physical education, or sports coaching.
