Preface

During the past several decades, exercise physiologists have emphasized the importance of regular exercise in the prevention of chronic diseases associated with a sedentary lifestyle. Obesity, type II diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiac dysfunction, hypertension, and osteoporosis can be helped or even reversed with properly prescribed exercise. The information in this book serves as the foundation of an evolutionary concept that exercise is medicine.

Introduction to Exercise Physiology is designed to educate the reader about the human body and how to care for it. This knowledge encourages critical reflection about the scientific basis of exercise physiology as a healthcare profession. This book combines scientific principles and calculations that support its use as an entry-level text to help exercise physiology students understand career options that use exercise as medicine in addition to the more traditional focus on the development of exercise training programs for enhanced athletic performance.

Exercise physiology is the identification of physiological mechanisms that facilitate positive healthcare changes in the human body. It includes the comprehensive delivery of treatment services concerned with the analysis, improvement, and maintenance of health and fitness; the rehabilitation of heart disease and other diseases and/or disabilities; and the professional guidance and counsel of athletes and others interested in athletics, sports training, and human adaptability to acute and chronic physical activity.
