Rating: - AWESOME !
I have been a fitness trainer for 20 years. I have read many books. This one is one of the best thus far. I highly recommend it !

The references exceed in both depth and richness other exercise physiology texts like Baechle's very good "Essentials of Strength and Conditioning," ... Read More

The main approach of the book is based on energy considerations. Understanding how the body handles energy ... Read More
