Seller's Description:
Used: Acceptable. Size: 10 x 7.7 x 0.9 inches; This is the FIRST edition of the highly successful Kinanthropometry and Exercise Physiology Laboratory Manual. Developed as a key resource for lecturers and students of kinanthropometry, sports science, human movement and exercise physiology, this edition is thoroughly revise and completely up-to-date. Now divided into two volumes-Anthropometry and Exercise Physiology-this manual provides: help in planning and conduct of practical sessions comprehensive theoretical background on each topic, and up-to-date information so that there is no need for additional reading seven entirely new chapters providing a balance between kinanthropometry and physiology eleven self-standing chapters in each volume enabling the reader to pick out topics of interest in any order a wide range of supporting diagrams, photographs and tables. Volume One: Anthropometry covers body composition, proportion, size, growth and somatotype and their relationship with health performance; methods for evaluating posture and range of motion; assessment of physical activity and energy balance with particular reference to the assessment of performance in children; the relationship between anthropometry and body image; statistics and scaling methods in kinanthropometry and exercise physiology. Volume Two: Exercise Physiology cover the assessment of muscle function including aspects of neuromuscular control and electromyography; the oxygen transport system and exercise including haemotology, lung and cardiovascular function; assessment of metabolic rate, energy and efficiency including thermoregualtion; and assessment of maximal and sub-maximal energy expenditure and control, including the use of heart rate, blood lactate and perceived exertion. An entire one-stop resource, these volumes present laboratory procedures next to real-life practical examples, each supported with appropriate data. In addition, each chapter is supplemented by a complete review of contemporary literature, as well as theoretical overviews, offering an excellent basic introduction to each topic. The accurate assessment of physical fitness, whether it be for gauging athletic performance or health, requires a variety of laboratory tests and analysis of the resulting data. This manual provides a complete description of laboratory practicals used in typical kinanthropometry courses. Each chapter covers the theoretical background and then the methods of determining and assessing each component in a variety of populations are presented. This involves explanation of the validity/reliability of each of the methods and the problems associated with their implementation. The manual has the official backing of the International Society of Applied Kinanthropometry (ISAK) and conforms to the guidelines of the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES). With contributions from international experts, it will be an invaluable book for sports science researchers, students and medical/fitness assessors. 0-419-17880-5.
