The Physiology of Physical Training provides complete coverage of the physiological and methodological aspects of physical training, providing essential knowledge for anyone involved in exercise physiology. Physiological processes at the cellular level (and for the whole organism) are covered to better explain particular training methods and convey a deeper knowledge and understanding of training techniques. Coverage of exercise training-induced adaptive responses and the most appropriate training methods to bring about targeted adaptive changes are also included. This is the perfect reference for researchers of physiology/kinesiology and human kinetics, practicing coaches, graduate students and sports medicine specialists. Describes exercise-induced adaptation, from the cell to the whole bodyDemonstrates practical applications of exercise for injury, disease prevention and improved physical performanceFully integrates the knowledge of molecular exercise physiology and training methods INDICE: 1. Basic cellular functions, cellular adaptation, and metabolism 2. Skeletal muscle, function, muscle fiber types 3. Adaptation, phenotypic adaptation, fatigue, overtraining 4. Fundamentals of strength training 5. Fundamentals of endurance training 6. Speed as complex conditional ability 7. Fundamentals of joint flexibility 8. Diet and sport 9. Physical training and prevention 10. Physical training and aging 11. Sport genetics
