Exercise Physiology Laboratory Manual

I bought this book used. It came in great condition. Of course it is used, so there was some notes written and high lighted words, but overall I can read everything and it was well taken care of.

The title says it; this book actually presents research and exercise tests in an organized, easy to read format, and clear language. Makes understanding exercise testing protocol exceptionally easy. It has been instrumental in writing Exercise Physiology manuscripts and all the sources used for the studies posted at the end of each chapter are great fodder for past research sources. Keeping this one on my shelf for future reference.

Beam & Adams 8th studiously avoids any discussion of probability theory and with it the role of probability in the analysis of experiments. Probability should be introduced in K-12 and be mandatory for graduation with a BS. This all says something about the status of our education system, first public school, and then university training, and specifically physiology and kineseolgy, where this text seems to be required. The index has no entries for normal, Gaussian, probability, distribution, density, or outlier. The text uses the word fitness hundreds of times with no definition. It has no Glossary.

Good quality.. A lot of writing in the book and wrinkled pages

It's a text book. Important subject for my son. Got it in the nick of time. Thanks!

Missing pages and highlighting/writing throughout the book. I would hate to be charged for it.

Good shape, item was as described, worked well.

It is an easy and objective book to read. However, does not cover important topics that are used in many centers, like the isometric strength in lower peripheral muscles (describes only handgrip).
