Completely updated and revised, Physique, Fitness, and Performance, Second Edition provides a unique extended research base that outlines the morphological, physical, motor, and metabolic components involved in human performance and conditioning. It covers body build indices and measurement and assessment metrics; determinants of muscular strength and endurance; principles and practices of training; aerobic and anaerobic exercise; motor control and motor learning, including dynamic and exploratory approaches; and fatigue. It also explores nutrition and nutrient utilization, dietary goals and guidelines, and risk factors relating to heart disease and obesity. The book offers extensive and detailed appendices and each chapter concludes with summaries, glossaries, references.
