, KINANTHROPOMETRY AND EXERCISE
PHYSIOLOGY LABORATORY MANUAL
SECOND EDITION
VOLUME 2: EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY
This is the second edition of the highly successful Kinanthropometry and
Exercise Physiology Laboratory Manual. Developed as a key resource for
lecturers and students of kinanthropometry, sports science, human movement and
exercise physiology, this edition is thoroughly revised and completely up-to-
date. Now divided into two volumes—Anthropometry and Exercise Physiology—
this manual provides:
• help in the planning and conduct of practical sessions
• comprehensive theoretical background on each topic, and up-to-date
information so that there is no need for additional reading
• seven entirely new chapters providing a balance between kinanthropometry
and physiology
• eleven self-standing chapters in each volume which are independent of each
other, enabling the reader to pick out topics of interest in any order
• a wide range of supporting diagrams, photographs and tables
Volume 1: Anthropometry covers body composition, proportion, size, growth and
somatotype and their relationship with health and performance; methods for
evaluating posture and range of motion; assessment of physical activity and
energy balance with particular reference to the assessment of performance in
children; the relationship between anthropometry and body image; statistics and
scaling methods in kinanthropometry and exercise physiology.
Volume 2: Exercise Physiology covers the assessment of muscle function
including aspects of neuromuscular control and electromyography, the oxygen
transport system and exercise including haematology, lung and cardiovascular
function; assessment of metabolic rate, energy and efficiency including
thermoregulation; and assessment of maximal and submaximal energy
expenditure and control, including the use of heart rate, blood lactate and
perceived exertion.
An entire one-stop resource, these volumes present laboratory procedures next
to real-life practical examples with appropriate data. In addition, each chapter is
,ii
conveniently supplemented by a complete review of contemporary literature, as
well as theoretical overviews, offering an excellent basic introduction to each topic.
Dr Roger Eston is Reader and Head of the School of Sport, Health and
Exercise Sciences, University of Wales, Bangor, and Professor Thomas Reilly
is Director of the Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Sciences, Liverpool
John Moores University. Both editors are practising kinanthropometrists and
collaborate in conducting workshops for the British Association for Sport and
Exercise Sciences.
