Overview:
Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Third Edition, now contains an access code for the Online Student Guide, where students can practice, review, and develop knowledge and skills about the physiology of sport and exercise.
The Online Student Guide corresponds directly with the content in the book, and helps students more easily comprehend the material that is presented by the authors. The study guide includes questions and activities to test students as they prepare for quizzes or tests. It also provides dynamic and interactive learning activities, all of which can be conducted outside the lab. Students will be able to apply the key concepts by conducting self-made experiments and recording their own physiological responses to exercise. In addition, students will be able to access links to professional journals as well as organization and career information.
This textbook, developed by respected and renowned authors, Jack Wilmore and David Costill, presents a solid foundation of basic exercise physiology and redefines the discipline’s standard for textbooks. The third edition of Physiology of Sport and Exercise offers an improved version of their comprehensive resource that frames the latest and most significant research findings in a reader-friendly format and makes it easier—and more exciting—than ever for students to learn and for teachers to teach. Now, your students can further develop their understanding of the body’s ability to perform physical work, adapt to stressful situations, and improve its physiological capacities.
All the most popular attributes of the previous editions are preserved, including the teachable, well-organized chapters; student-friendly writing; 300+ colour graphs and illustrations explaining key concepts; and the latest research findings. Designed to better meet the needs of undergraduate students, this exciting third edition continues to make learning easy and enjoyable with inviting chapter openers, overviews and outlines at the start of each chapter, detailed figures and captions, key terms, study questions, references, selected readings, and an updated glossary and index.
This text also includes some improved features to encourage learning. New research is highlighted in breakout boxes to bring attention to important trends and directions, improved conversion tables focus on SI units, and an expanded glossary makes it easier for students to look up and cross-reference terms. |

About the Author:
Jack Wilmore, PhD, recently retired, was a distinguished professor and head of the department of health and kinesiology at Texas A&M University, a professor and department chair at the University of Texas at Austin, and director of the Exercise and Sports Sciences Laboratory at the University of Arizona from 1976 to 1985.
Dr. Wilmore has written extensively about exercise physiology; his works include more than 350 chapters and peer-reviewed articles, 14 books, and more than 100 lay publications. He has been a member of the editorial board of several journals, including Sports Medicine, Pediatric Exercise Science, Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation, Journal of Athletic Training, International Journal of Obesity, and Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise.
A former president of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), Dr. Wilmore has chaired many ACSM organizational committees. He has served as a consultant for several professional teams, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Rams, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Kings, California Angels, and San Francisco 49ers. He is a member of the American Physiological Society and the ACSM. He is a fellow and former president of the American Academy of Kinesiology and Physical Education.
Dr. Wilmore earned his PhD in physical education from the University of Oregon in 1966.
David Costill, PhD, is the emeritus John and Janice Fisher chair in exercise science at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. He established the Ball State University Human Performance Laboratory in 1966 and served as its director for 32 years.
Dr. Costill has written and coauthored more than 400 publications over the course of his career, including books, peer-reviewed articles, and lay publications. He served as the editor in chief of the International Journal of Sports Medicine for 12 years. Between 1971 and 1998, he averaged 25 U.S. and international lecture trips each year. He was president of the ACSM from 1976 to 1977, a member of its board of trustees for 12 years, and a recipient of ACSM Citation and Honor Awards. Many of his former students are now leaders in the field of exercise physiology.
Dr. Costill received his PhD in physical education and physiology from The Ohio State University in 1965. |
