Exercise physiology refers to the study of the physiological aspects of physical exercise. It comprises the study of both immediate responses and long-term adjustments to exercise. This field closely scrutinizes the impacts of exercise on systems such as muscular, cardiovascular, and neuro-humoral. Furthermore, it evaluates alterations in strength and functional capacity resulting from endurance training. The body's response to training reflects its adaptive reactions to exercise. Additionally, exercise physiology investigates how exercise influences pathology, exploring mechanisms through which exercise can mitigate or reverse disease progression. Through this book, constant effort has been made to make the complex subject of sports and exercise physiology easy and informative for the students. The topics covered in it deal with the core aspects of the subject. Coherent flow of topic, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
