Written by a team of distinguished researchers, all past presidents of the American College of Sports Medicine, this enhanced sixth edition fully incorporates new digital elements directly into the text to facilitate learning comprehension. These new components, along with high-quality photos, illustrations, and medical artwork, provide a dynamic way to experience course material.
A total of 25 animations, seven new to this edition, have been inserted directly into the enhanced text to clarify difficult concepts and illustrate how the body performs. The 60 audio clips provide explanations of complex physiological processes to aid students' understanding of important illustrations in the text, and approximately 20 video clips discuss developments in the field and real-world applications to help students connect theoretical and practical concepts.
In addition to the improved digital components, Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Sixth Edition (Enhanced Version), features new and updated content based on the latest research in the field:
