This package includes the following:
  • Practical Guide to Exercise Physiology, Second Edition, ebook
  • Online continuing education exam
With an application-based approach and supported by vivid medical illustrations, Practical Guide to Exercise Physiology, Second Edition, provides a simple and straightforward way to learn the fundamentals of human physiology, metabolism, and nutrition.

Intricate physiological processes responsible for how the body responds and adapts to physical activity are described in an accessible manner so you can easily understand and select appropriate training programs for your clients. Medical artwork puts these complex systems into a digestible visual context. These systems are then applied to real-world practice and training principles that are beneficial to specific body systems to achieve desired results.

Part I reviews human physiology fundamentals, including muscles and muscle adaptation, bioenergetics, and the cardiorespiratory system. Part II applies these scientific concepts to training programs designed for specific fitness goals, including weight loss, improvements in strength and muscle mass, speed and power, and aerobic endurance. Part III outlines special considerations for training, including working with pregnant women, children, and older adults as well as exercise adjustments for changes in temperature and altitude.

You’ll get content on trending fitness concepts such as HIIT, periodization, and detraining. Performance Nutrition Spotlights provide advice and tips on using nutrition to support adaptations and improve performance. The Index of Common Questions From Clients collects the most common inquiries from clients and points to the corresponding chapter where each of those topics is covered, helping you quickly access information.

After reading the ebook, certified professionals can take the companion CE exam to earn continuing education credits.
