This is the second edition of the highly successful Kinanthropometry and Exercise Physiology Laboratory Manual , and takes a close look at exercise physiology. This well-illustrated manual covers: * the assessment of muscle function including aspects of neuromuscular control and electromyography * the oxygen transport system and exercise including haematology, lung and cardiovascular function * assessment of metabolic rate, energy and efficiency including thermoregulation * assessment of maximal and sub-maximal energy expenditure and control, including the use of heart rate, blood lactate and perceived exertion. Physiology and practical work is now a compulsory element of sports and exercise science. This text has been developed as a key resource for lecturers and students of kinanthropometry, sports science, human movement and exercise physiology. New and existing features of this text include: seven new chapters; theoretical background on each topic; thorough updating of existing material; a wide range of supporting diagrams, photographs and tables; general editorial comment; and new practical exercises.
