La quinta edición de Fisiología del Deporte y el Ejercicio, el libro de texto preferido en los programas de estudio de fisiología del ejercicio, ha sido completamente actualizada, tanto en su contenido como en su diseño gráfico. Todos los autores son investigadores destacados y expresidentes del American College of Sports Medicine. Su amplia experiencia ha permitido conformar un libro con un contenido técnico de excelencia pero que conserva, a la vez, un formato fácilmente comprensible para el estudiante, características que han llevado a esta obra a ser la elegida por los docentes y los alumnos. 
 Esta edición se ha rediseñado para conseguir un aspecto visual más atractivo, que facilite a los estudiantes el proceso de aprendizaje. Las nuevas fotografías e ilustraciones tienen mayor detalle y claridad, y muestran de forma más precisa el funcionamiento del organismo y sus respuestas a la actividad física. El texto también se ha redactado nuevamente a fin de que se integre con las figuras, lo que facilita la comprensión de los temas expuestos. 
 Además de las nuevas ilustraciones, el contenido de Fisiología del Deporte y el Ejercicio se ha actualizado conforme a las últimas investigaciones, e incluye: 
 • Nuevo texto en los capítulos sobre entrenamiento de la resistencia, que comprende los principios sobre el entrenamiento de la fuerza basados en la información de la ACSM de 2009 y nuevas secciones sobre la fuerza, el entrenamiento de la estabilidad y el entrenamiento intermitente de alta intensidad 
 • Los capítulos sobre metabolismo y control hormonal se han reorganizado y actualizado por completo conforme a los comentarios recibidos de los docentes, a fin de ayudar a los estudiantes a comprender mejor estos sistemas complejos 
 • Nuevos contenidos sobre el ácido láctico como fuente de energía, calambres musculares, obesidad infantil, utilización de sustratos y respuesta endocrina al ejercicio y envejecimiento de los vasos sanguíneos 
 • Cobertura actualizada de las funciones cardíacas centrales y periféricas, la tríada de las atletas y el ciclo menstrual 
 • Nuevas investigaciones sobre los efectos de la actividad física sobre la salud, que incluyen los datos internacionales sobre la incidencia de las enfermedades cardiovasculares y la obesidad 
 Una de las características tradicionalmente apreciadas de este libro es su claridad en la exposición de los temas. Esta edición continúa ofreciendo un tratamiento integral de la compleja relación entre la fisiología humana y el ejercicio, conservando a la vez un enfoque ameno y que consigue captar el interés del alumno. Sus características pedagógicas singulares permiten a los estudiantes adquirir conocimientos a medida que descubren la profundidad y la amplitud de este campo de estudio fascinante. El diseño del libro, con secciones introductorias en cada capítulo y recuadros de revisión, ayudará a los alumnos a centrarse en los conceptos principales. Las preguntas y las palabras clave ubicadas al final de cada capítulo los ayudarán a repasar y evaluar sus conocimientos. Un completo glosario y una lista de las abreviaturas frecuentes y las tablas de conversión represenntan un apoyo adicional para las prácticas de laboratorio. 
Fisiología del Deporte y el Ejercicio es, sin duda, el recurso más completo y más actualizado, e incluye información sobre las investigaciones más recientes en un formato fácilmente comprensible. Estas características facilitan a los estudiantes el aprendizaje de las increíbles capacidades del organismo para desempeñar ejercicios y deportes de diversos tipos y con diferente intensidad, adaptarse a situaciones de tensión, y mejorar sus capacidades fisiológicas.

Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Sixth Edition With Web Study Guide, frames research findings in physiology in a reader-friendly format, making this textbook a favorite of instructors and students alike. This resource offers a simple way for students to develop an understanding of the body’s abilities to perform various types and intensities of exercise and sport, to adapt to stressful situations, and to improve its physiological capacities. Written by a team of distinguished researchers, all past presidents of the American College of Sports Medicine, this updated sixth edition has been enhanced with new elements to facilitate learning comprehension. The redesigned photos, illustrations, and medical artwork of the fifth edition that clarified difficult concepts and illustrated how the body performs are now complemented by new digital components. Seven animations have been added, bringing the total to 25 and providing a dynamic way to experience course material. The 60 audio clips provide explanations of complex physiological processes to aid students’ understanding of important illustrations in the text, and approximately 20 video clips from leaders in the field discuss recent developments and real-world applications to help students connect theoretical and practical concepts. Corresponding icons throughout the text notify students when digital elements are available to complement the materials. In addition to the improved digital components, Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Sixth Edition, features new and updated content based on the latest research in the field: • Updated information on high-intensity interval training (HIIT), interactions between resistance training and diet, and the relationship between protein intake and muscle synthesis • A reorganized chapter on ergogenic aids and a clearer organization of prohibited versus legal substances • Extensively revised chapters on physical activity and disease, including updated treatment guidelines and understandings of metabolism and disease processes • New information on the health effects of prolonged sitting as well as osteoporosis, bone health, and effects of exercise during menopause • A series of 76 Research Perspectives emphasizing new and emerging findings in the field Ease of reading has been the cornerstone of this popular text. The sixth edition of Physiology of Sport and Exercise continues to offer comprehensive coverage of the complex relationship between human physiology and exercise while maintaining an engaging and student-friendly tone. Unique learning features allow students to build their knowledge as they discover the depth and breadth of this fascinating field of study. The book’s accessible layout, including chapter-opening outlines and review boxes throughout each chapter, will help students focus on the major concepts addressed. Study questions and a list of key terms at the end of the chapter increase students’ opportunities for recall and self-testing. A comprehensive glossary and lists of common abbreviations and conversions provide easy reference for students as they complete labs and assignments. To expand the material and provide an enriched learning experience, both students and instructors can take advantage of the web-based ancillaries that accompany the text. In addition to new animations, videos, and audio clips, the web study guide includes comprehension quizzes to provide immediate feedback to students on their knowledge retention as well as end-of-unit mastery checks that students can use for evaluating their progress. Instructors are provided with access to an instructor guide, test package, ready-to-use chapter quizzes, and a presentation package plus image bank. The presentation package includes PowerPoint slides with key points and content, which can be modified to suit a variety of class structures. An image bank features all of the graphics, artwork, and content photos from the text for easy insertion into tests, quizzes, handouts, and other course materials.
