Applied Physiology Of Exercise

This  book is suitable for anyone interested in training with the use of  science. Training has to be science-based and science is the only way  forward, thus the book title indicates Applied Physiology of Exercise.  Any training can be answered with physiological rationale. If it cannot  be answered, people are moving away from specific intelligent training  and into erroneous combination high-load training (for example,  combining aerobic and anaerobic interval training in a single training  session) that may not elicit a higher percentage of physiological  adaptations but may induce injuries as the body is not conditioned  properly. Combination high-level training may be introduced at a later  stage once an individual goes through specific conditioning following a  general conditioning of building the 'base' or 'foundation' period for  at least six months. Factual training with science takes time to attain  superior performance without performance-enhancing drugs or supplements  such as growth hormones and testosterone. Gathering the 'right'  knowledge is important and hopefully readers will be better equipped  after reading this book. There are questions in each chapter to enhance  learning and comprehension. It requires readers to think, rationalize,  answer, and apply the facts to training or weight loss programs. These  questions aim to ignite the critical component of learning as readers  critique and re-analyze their training program. Even though each  training could be different with everyone holding on to a different  training philosophy, facts through science are universal for all.
