Oxygen Uptake Kinetics In Sport, Exercise And Medicine

Despite its crucial importance, scientists interested in the limitations of human performance have only just started to give the field of oxygen uptake kinetics the attention it deserves. Understanding the principal determinant of the oxygen uptake kinetics is fundamental to improving human performance or the quality of life. This book provides a detailed overview of the current state of knowledge of this emerging field of study, and features: * an introduction to oxygen uptake kinetics and historical development of the discipline * measurement and analysis of oxygen uptake kinetics * control of and limitations to oxygen uptake kinetics * applications of oxygen uptake kinetics in human populations. Oxygen Uptake Kinetics in Sport, Health and Medicine is the first edited book to address the topic of oxygen uptake kinetics and features contributions from leading researchers in the field. The text is richly illustrated and structured to enable easy access of information and represents an invaluable resource for students and researchers in exercise physiology, as well as for respiratory physiologists and pulmonary clinicians.Poole, David is the author of 'Oxygen Uptake Kinetics In Sport, Exercise And Medicine ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780415305617 and ISBN 0415305616.
