Written at a graduate level; the Second Edition of ACSM’s Advanced Exercise Physiology enables experienced students to develop an in-depth understanding of exercise physiology along with its related topics and applications. Both the immediate and long-term effects of exercise on individual body systems are described in detail; and the text emphasizes how each body system’s physiological response to exercise is interdependent.  Moreover; it examines how these physiological responses are affected by heat; cold; hypoxia; microgravity; rest; and hyperbaria. This Second Edition features a team of international authors and editors whose expertise spans general physiology; exercise physiology; and research.  Together; they have substantially revised; updated; and reorganized the text to incorporate feedback from both instructors and students.
