The Encyclopaedia of Sports Medicine: An IOC Medical Commission Publication: Endurance in Sport

"Endurance in Sport is a comprehensive and authoritative work on all aspects of this major component of sports science. The book also embraces medical and sport-specific issues of particular relevance to those interested in endurance performance. The scientific basis and mechanisms of endurance - physiological, psychological, genetic and environmental - are all considered in depth. Measurement of endurance is extensively reviewed as is preparation and training for physical activities requiring endurance."--Google Books viewed Apr. 2, 2021 1 Semantic And Physiological Definitions / R.j.

An Ioc Medical Commission Publication, In Collaboration With The International Federation Of Sports Medicine. Includes Bibliographical References And Index. This completely revised new edition provides a comprehensive, scientific description of the various factors influencing the performance of top athletes. It covers basic determinants, environmental factors modifying performance, optimal training methods, the impact of training on health, and specific considerations in children, women, and the elderly. 242 illus. The distinction between such terms as physical activity, exercise and physical fitness has been sharpened through the contributions of Caspersen et al. (1985) and Bouchard and Shepard (1994), as discussed below.
