Human exercise performance can be considered at many levels, from the sporting achievement of an exceptional athlete, to basic mobility in the elderly which has such important implications for independent living and hence quality of life.
An integrative approach is necessary to provide an understanding of the normal determinants and limitations of performance and also to provide an appropriate frame of reference within which dysfunction can be interpreted. Physiological Determinants of Exercise Tolerance in Humans describes physiological and biochemical responses to exercise. It examines the nature of the fatigue process, the adaptations that occur in response to training and how these aspects are influenced by a variety of environmental factors.
