About this ebook
The Physiology of Sport and Exercise (6th Edition) by W. Larry Kenney, Jack H. Wilmore, and David L. Costill is a foundational textbook organized into seven major parts containing 22 chapters. [1, 2]
The primary topics and chapters covered in this edition include: [1]
Part I: The Exercising Muscle
- Structure and Function of Exercising Muscle: Skeletal muscle anatomy, fiber types (Type I and Type II), and the mechanisms of muscle contraction. [1, 2]
- Fuel for Exercising Muscle (Bioenergetics and Muscle Metabolism): Energy systems (ATP-PCr, glycolytic, and oxidative systems) and how the body metabolizes substrates during work. [1, 2]
- Neural Control of Exercising Muscle: The role of the central and peripheral nervous systems in controlling movement and motor unit recruitment. [1, 2]
- Hormonal Control During Exercise: Endocrine system responses, hormone actions, and fluid/electrolyte balance regulation during physical activity. [1, 2]
- Energy Expenditure and Fatigue: Methods for measuring energy usage (calorimetry), metabolic rate, and the physiological causes of muscle fatigue. [1, 2]
Part II: Cardiovascular and Respiratory Function
- The Cardiovascular System and Its Control: Anatomy of the heart, blood vessels, hemodynamics, and the regulation of the cardiac system. [1]
- The Respiratory System and Its Regulation: Pulmonary ventilation, lung volumes, gas exchange, and the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. [1]
- Cardiorespiratory Responses to Acute Exercise: How the heart, lungs, and circulatory system adjust immediately to bouts of physical exertion. [1, 2]
Part III: Principles and Adaptations to Training
- Principles of Exercise Training: Core training philosophies including individuality, specificity, reversibility, and progressive overload.
- Adaptations to Resistance Training: Mechanisms of muscle hypertrophy, neural gains, and structural changes from strength training.
- Adaptations to Aerobic and Anaerobic Training: Cardiorespiratory, metabolic, and muscular adaptations resulting from long-term endurance and sprint conditioning. [1]
Part IV: Environmental Influences on Performance
- Exercise in Hot and Cold Environments (Thermoregulation): Mechanisms of heat transfer, acclimation, and physiological risks of extreme temperatures.
- Exercise at Altitude: The physiological impacts of hypobaric (low-pressure) environments on oxygen delivery and athletic performance. [1, 2]
Part V: Optimizing Performance in Sport
- Training for Sport: Concepts surrounding periodization, overreaching, overtraining, and detraining.
- Body Composition and Nutrition for Sport: Evaluation of body fat versus fat-free mass, macronutrient needs, and optimal sports nutrition strategies.
- Ergogenic Aids and Sport: Legal performance-enhancing substances, supplements, and clear distinctions regarding prohibited substances or doping. [1, 2]
Part VI: Age and Sex Considerations in Sport and Exercise
- Children and Adolescents in Sport and Exercise: Growth, development, and specific physiological responses to training in youth.
- Aging in Sport and Exercise: The impact of biological aging on cardiovascular and muscular systems, performance declines, and the benefits of remaining active.
- Sex Differences in Sport and Exercise: Comparative physiology between males and females regarding body composition, responses to training, and special health considerations (e.g., exercise during menopause). [1, 2]
Part VII: Physical Activity for Health and Fitness
- Medical Applications and Prescription: Guidelines for prescribing exercise for general health, fitness, and secondary disease prevention.
- Cardiovascular Disease and Physical Activity: The role of exercise in combating hypertension, coronary artery disease, and stroke.
- Obesity, Diabetes, and Physical Activity: Metabolic syndrome, weight management, and how exercise interacts with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. [1]
