The Textbook of Human Bioenergetics and Its Applications "Exercise Physiology" by George Brooks, Thomas Fahey, Kenneth Baldwin

The Textbook of Human Bioenergetics and Its Applications 'Exercise Physiology' by George Brooks, Thomas Fahey, Kenneth Baldwin

          Considered a standard in the field, this text integrates Bioenergetics into every chapter and provides a comprehensive survey of current data and research in exercise physiology. In-depth discussion of all areas of exercise physiology makes this text an invaluable resource for students in exercise science, kinesiology, sports medicine, human biodynamics, and physical education.

The Textbook of Human Bioenergetics and Its Applications "Exercise Physiology" by George Brooks, Thomas Fahey, Kenneth Baldwin Review

I received both my B.S., and M.S. in Exercise Biochemistry from Univ. of Mass, and Univ. of Colorado, Boulder, respectively. My former advisor studied under Brooks at Berkely (He received his Doctorate there). In any event the approach our department undertook towards exercise biochemistry/physiology was at the cell and molecular level. Brooks text was central to the program. What is great about the book, is that it explains complicated biochemical processes in easy to understand language and places it in the context of applied physiology. The book stacks up to classic texts like Molecular Biology of the Cell (Albert, Bray, Lewis), and many of the classic biochemistry texts. In my opinion it is far superior to texts by McArdle & Katch, or Textbook of Work Physiology (author escapes me, for now).
