Movement or Bust!

“An enormous volume of research and new knowledge has been assembled in the scientific literature in the past decade. In the information age, it is difficult to keep abreast of these developments. Specialization and new disciplines are continually added under the broad umbrella of exercise science. This evolution has led to challenges for the editors and authors. We needed to decide what to include, how to transition chapters to be more contemporary, and what new developments needed to be included, especially innovative applications for exercise and sports scientists. This edition has retained chapters covering foundation knowledge…The 4th edition has identified and included advancements in foundation knowledge for today’s exercise science students. Modern ways to evaluate health status, movement capacities and the use of point-of-care technologies have been added…A total of 39 authors from around the world have contributed to the 4th edition of Kinanthropometry and Exercise Physiology” (from Preface).

A fully updated and revised edition, this 4th edition offers the best theoretically contextualized, practical resource for instructors and students available. Kinanthropometry and Exercise Physiology incorporates substantial sections on kinanthropometry, exercise physiology, energy systems, and the application of science in health. There is also an online resource (exercisesciencetoolkit.com) that has access to newly developed exercise science measurement tools.
