W D McArdle’s research while affiliated with Queens College, CUNY and other places

This edition of McArdle, Katch, and Katch's respected text reflects the most recent, evidence-based information on how nutrition affects exercise and sports performance. Using high quality research to illustrate teaching points, the authors provide detailed yet accessible coverage of the science of exercise nutrition and bioenergetics, along with valuable insights into how the principles work in the real world of physical activity and sports medicine. New content, new research citations, and new case studies throughout help prepare students for a successful career in exercise science.

Introducing the Fifth Edition of the more focused version of the best-selling Exercise Physiology text. Ideal for an introductory course, this title emphasizes nutrition as the foundation of exercise and uses a new student-friendly magazine-style design, hallmark pedagogy, and an engaging, accessible writing style to make exercise physiology interesting and understandable for todays students. Featuring updates in every section that reflect the latest trends and research in the field, Essentials of Exercise Physiology helps students develop a deep understanding of the interrelationships among energy intake, energy transfer during exercise, and the related physiologic systems. As they progress through the book, students also master the how-tos of applying key concepts to enhance exercise training, athletic performance, and health. © 2016 Wolters Kluwer 2011 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins|Wolters Kluwer © 2006 and 2000 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins

Updated with the latest cutting-edge research findings, the Fourth Edition helps readers make the bridge between nutrition and exercise concepts and their practical applications. The book provides a strong foundation in the science of exercise nutrition and bioenergetics and offers valuable insights into how the principles work in the real world of physical activity and sports medicine. Case Studies and Personal Health and Exercise Nutrition activities engage readers in practical nutritional assessment problems. © 1999, 2005, 2009, 2013 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.

Essentials of Exercise Physiology offers a compact version of the Seventh Edition of the bestselling Exercise Physiology: Nutrition, Energy, and Human Performance, making it ideal for introductory undergraduate courses. As you progress through the text, you'll develop a deep understanding of the interrelationships among energy intake, energy transfer during exercise, and the physiologic systems that support energy transfer. Moreover, you'll discover how to apply what you learn to enhance exercise training, athletic performance, and health. Based on feedback from students and instructors, this Fourth Edition offers new organization, content, and features while maintaining its hallmark pedagogy, writing style, graphics, and flow charts. The new organization makes it easier to cover the text in a one-semester course and adapt materials to diverse interests. Plus, each section has undergone a major revision, offering you coverage of new and emerging topics in exercise physiology as well as the latest research findings.

The purpose of the present study was to determine the validity of Cooper's 12-min. endurance run test in 36 college women using max VO2 as the criterion of validity. Max VO2 was measured using the Balke treadmill test (mean = 2.29 L/min; 38.9 ml/kg/min). Percent body fat (mean = 21.8%) and lean body weight (mean = 45.0 kg.) were also determined in 17 women from body density measurements (underwater weighing). A significant correlation of r = .67 was obtained between the endurance run and max VO2 (ml/kg/min), which increased to r = .71 when the correlation was corrected for attenuation from test unreliability in max VO2 (r 11 = .95) and the run (r 22 = .78). One standard error for predicting max VO2 from the run scores was within ± 9% (3.4 ml/kg) and ± 13% (299 ml/min) of predicted values, respectively. Cooper's regression equation to predict max VO2 from the run scores in men underestimated the average max VO2 in women by 18%. Lean body weight correlated r = .49 with the run scores and r = .76 with max VO2 (L/min); percent fat correlated r = -.55 with the run. The partial correlation between max VO2 and the endurance run, with the influence of lean body weight held statistically constant, was r12.3 = .35. Body weight was not correlated with running performance (r = .04). It was concluded that the Cooper 12-min. run test in the sample studied was not a good predictor of individual differences in max VO2 since 50% of the variance in max VO2 was unexplained by a knowledge of run scores.
