Since publication of its First Edition in 1981, Exercise Physiology has helped more than 350,000 students build a solid foundation of the scientific principles underlying modern exercise physiology. This Seventh Edition has been thoroughly updated with all the most recent findings, guiding you to the latest understanding of nutrition, energy transfer, and exercise training and their relationship to human performance.
This Seventh Edition maintains its popular seven-section structure. It begins with an exploration of the origins of exercise physiology and concludes with an examination of the most recent efforts to apply principles of molecular biology. The book provides excellent coverage of exercise physiology, uniting the topics of energy expenditure and capacity, molecular biology, physical conditioning, sports nutrition, body composition, weight control, and more.
A companion website includes over 30 animations of key exercise physiology concepts; the full text online; a quiz bank; references; appendices; information about microscope technologies; a timeline of notable events in genetics; a list of Nobel Prizes in research related to cell and molecular biology; the scientific contributions of thirteen outstanding female scientists; an image bank; a Brownstone test generator; PowerPoint lecture outlines; and image-only PowerPoint slides.
McArdle disease (glycogen storage disease Type V; MD) is a metabolic myopathy caused by a deficiency in muscle glycogen phosphorylase. Since muscle glycogen is an important fuel for muscle during exercise, this inborn error of metabolism provides a model for understanding the role of glycogen in muscle function and the compensatory adaptations that occur in response to impaired glycogenolysis. Patients with MD have exercise intolerance with symptoms including premature fatigue, myalgia, and/or muscle cramps. Despite this, MD patients are able to perform prolonged exercise as a result of the "second wind" phenomenon, owing to the improved delivery of extra-muscular fuels during exercise. The present review will cover what this disease can teach us about exercise physiology, and particularly focuses on the compensatory pathways for energy delivery to muscle in the absence of glycogenolysis.
This textbook integrates basic concepts and relevant scientific information to provide a foundation for understanding nutrition, energy transfer, and exercise training. The new Sixth Edition continues to provide excellent coverage of exercise physiology, uniting the topics of human performance, nutrition, energy expenditure and capacity, molecular biology, and more. Every chapter has been fully revised and updated to reflect the latest information. The updated full-color art program adds visual appeal and improves understanding of key topics.
The function of the human body is dependent on the interaction between numerous physiological systems. This module will provide you with an overview of the role of key physiological systems in the human body including the cardiovascular, respiratory, blood, thermoregulatory, endocrine, neural, muscular and cellular systems, and how these interact as part of an integrated physiological system. You will gain an appreciation of how these systems preserve homeostasis and how these systems respond when the human body is stressed during exercise. You will also be provided with ample opportunity to put theory into practice by performing physiological measurements in the exercise physiology laboratory. The knowledge gained in this module will provide a good foundation of knowledge in human physiology and an introduction to aspects of exercise physiology that will be expanded in future modules. There are no pre or co-requisites for this module and it is suitable for non-specialist students who have studied some science at A-Level or equivalent.
This module seeks to provide you with the necessary foundation knowledge of the human body as a physiological system and how to perform basic physiological measurements in an exercise physiology laboratory. The key components of the cardiovascular, respiratory, blood, thermoregulatory, endocrine, neural, muscular and cellular systems will be covered, alongside the integration of these systems. You will also be introduced to how some of these systems change during exercise. You will cover the theoretical aspects and complement this with practical laboratory sessions to assess and analyse the responses at rest and during exercise whilst gaining experience of necessary laboratory techniques.

The author wishes to thank the dedicated coordinators Pam Kontaratos, Maria Movromattis, Diana Gizzi, Debbie Brown, and Lisa Whitbread who gave so much of their time and energy to the program. Special thanks go to Sandra Doyle, senior co-ordinator who competently undertook the major task of training all other co-ordinators in the exercise routines to a high level of competence.
The relative contribution and source of the fuels used during endurance exercise is dependent on the intensity and the duration of the exercise. Much work has been done to investigate the potential performance-enhancing effect of manipulating training and dietary interventions in athletes, as well as the influence of gender. Studies show that even patients with metabolic myopathies may derive benefits that counter the age-associated loss of muscle mass and strength. This article gives an overview of these different impacts on endurance exercise, concluding with an examination of the metabolic myopathies that impair substrate metabolism in skeletal muscle and result in exercise intolerance.
