Exercise Physiology and Its Role in Clinical Sports Medicine

Authors: Russell R. Pate, PHD, J Larry Durstine, PHD

Abstract

Annotation: Increasingly, the greater sports medicine world has been able to turn to exercise physiology for information that targets the capabilities of our recreational and competitive athletes. Functional physiologic deficits can be quantitated. Erasure of those deficits can be documented. Sports-specific physiologic qualities can help direct coaches in their training program, and in choosing athletes for their short- and long-term event participation.
