Description
This text provides the basic foundation for understanding energy transfer, nutrition and exercise training. It has a balanced and broad presentation, covering topics from biological and chemical basics of exercise physiology to body composition, weight control and age-health related aspects of exercise. It also includes pedagogical devices, such as chapter outlines and marginal boxes containing "real life" situations.
