The textbook Physiology of Sport and Exercise, 9th Edition, written by W. Larry Kenney, Jack H. Wilmore, and David L. Costill, provides students and instructors with a foundational exploration of human physical exertion. Published by Human Kinetics, Inc., this text examines how the body responds to exercise and sports through integrated physiological mechanisms.

The authors, all past presidents of the American College of Sports Medicine, connect cellular energy processes with whole-body performance. This edition introduces new content regarding energy sources used in exercise, while expanding details on the lactate threshold and the lactate shuttle. Additional thematic coverage highlights vascular changes in skeletal muscle health and function, as well as the interactive effects of insulin and exercise.

The volume also features expanded content addressing fatigue and exercise performance to deepen reader understanding. Designed for higher education courses in kinesiology and exercise science, the text establishes a clear, structured framework for studying biological responses during physical activity.
