In response to customer requests, over half of the second edition of Fundamentals of Exercise Physiology has undergone moderate to major revision, including level of content, to better suit the needs of the introductory student. A greater emphasis is now placed on applications for the personal trainer and the coach. FUNDAMENTALS also provides an introduction to the clinical applications of exercise physiology for selected chronic health issues.
Presence of additional and reformatted focus boxes now referred to as "Up Close", "Personal Trainer", "Coaching Tip", and "Clinic Update". The boxes are designed to provide the student with additional applications of material, as well as more advanced content on key issues within each chapter.
