Exercise Physiology Laboratory Manual is a comprehensive source for instructors and Student's interested in practical laboratory experiences related to the field of exercise physiology. It can be used as both a standalone lab manual or as a complement to any exercise physiology textbook. Students will come away with thorough instruction on the measurement and evaluation of muscular strength, anaerobic and aerobic fitness, cardiovascular function, respiratory function, flexibility, and body composition.
