Health, Well-Being, and Performance: Current Trends in Exercise Physiology - by Lance Webb (Hardcover)

About the Book

Exercise physiology is the scientific study of how the body responds and adapts to physical activity and exercise. It examines the various systems of the body, such as the cardiovascular, respiratory and muscular systems, to understand their functions during exercise. This field explores concepts like aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, which describe how the body uses oxygen and fuels like glucose to produce energy for muscle contractions. Hormones, such as adrenaline, also play a critical role in regulating metabolism and increasing energy availability during exercise. Understanding exercise physiology is crucial for designing effective exercise programs tailored to individual needs and goals. Exercise physiology contributes to promoting overall health and well-being by providing evidence-based recommendations for physical activity that support cardiovascular health, muscular strength and metabolic efficiency. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of exercise physiology. It includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to health, well-being and performance. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
