Exercise Physiology Laboratory Manual - Paperback

Exercise Physiology Laboratory Manual is a comprehensive source of information for instructors and students interested in practical laboratory experiences related to the field of exercise physiology. The manual provides instruction on the measurement and evaluation of muscular strength, anaerobic fitness, aerobic fitness, cardiovascular function, respiratory function, flexibility, and body composition. Written in a research format, each chapter, provides the rationale underlying each test, includes detailed methods and up-to-date comparative data, and concludes with a discussion of the results based on published studies. Homework forms at the end of each chapter can be completed in preview of an upcoming lab or in review of a completed lab. Lab Results forms direct students on the collection of laboratory data and the calculation and evaluation of the results. Exercise Physiology Laboratory Manual can be used as a stand-alone lab manual, as a complement to any exercise physiology textbook, and as a reference for numerous other exercise science and kinesiology courses in measurement and evaluation, strength and conditioning, or exercise prescription.
