Highly recommend to learn foundation of exercise physiology

Wow. Great read! Well structured content builds up your understanding of the relevant physiological processes, then covers in detail the changes that accompany exercise in the body. Information is well cited, with example studies, and it's clearly pointed out when research has been inconclusive on a point.

This book was kind of good, but not great. I had to straighten out some stuff from the metabolism chapters for my students.

I learned a lot. I previously had not known about the ATP pcr and the Krebs cycle , and it explained these well.
