FUNDAMENTALS OF SPORTS AND EXERCISE SCIENCE (TWO-VOLUME SET)

Author: Dr. Amitabh Dube, Prof. Bhupendra Singh Rathore, Dr. Ashok Gupta, Dr. Shubha Dube, Dr. Munish Agnihotri, Dr. Mukesh Sharma

The present book was written with the idea to introduce the concepts of sports sciences in a broader perspective keeping in view the various disciplines which supplant sports sciences. An attempt is hereby made to give a scientific rationale to the training and endurance enhancement techniques employed within the physiological realms in the national and international arena. Care has been taken to incorporate the physiological principles of fitness training both at home and in the international scenario. The benefits of exercise, both aerobic and anaerobic, have been laid down, giving due credence to the demands of age and time. The science of nutrition in the backdrop of exercise and physical activity has been addressed, undermining the relevance of a physiologically balanced diet in the lifespan of an individual. Emphasis has been laid on the type of nutrition plan that needs to be sketched before, during, and after a competitive event. The present time fad and fashion of weight-lowering diet and nutrition have been raised elucidating the primary significance of cardio-respiratory fitness.
