Książki

Reference for exercise physiologists and coaches working with elite athletes; text for graduate-level exercise physiology courses examining the use of physiological testing to measure and increase athletic performance. "This is a welcome upgrade of the first edition, by authors who are leaders in their field of study. It has current references that support the authors' claims about exercise testing and their expertise contributes immensely to the understanding of the material. Added chapters and subsections in this edition help to address questions left unanswered by the first edition. It is a must have for any scientist engaging in exercise testing of elite-level athletes."
