Comparative Vertebrate Exercise Physiology Volume 38A: Unifying Physiology: This important book reviews the general elements of exercise physiology common to all vertebrates. Written by the leading authorities in the study of exercise performance, chapters discuss topics such as matching ATP synthesis to ATP demand during exercise; the mechanical design of the muscular system; circulatory function during exercise; and respiratory gas exchange during exercise.

More DescriptionComparative Vertebrate Exercise Physiology Volume 38A: Unifying Physiology: This important book reviews the general elements of exercise physiology common to all vertebrates. Written by the leading authorities in the study of exercise performance, chapters discuss topics such as matching ATP synthesis to ATP demand during exercise; the mechanical design of the muscular system; circulatory function during exercise; and respiratory gas exchange during exercise. Comparative Vertebrate Exercise Physiology Volume 38B: Phyletic Adaptations: Each group of vertebrates is exemplified by widely different physiological adaptations to the needs of exercise. This book presents taxonomically focused discussions of these adaptations of particular lineages. Separate chapters, written by the leading authorities in the study of exercise performance, discuss the physiology of exercise in fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Together, these two volumes synthesize an extensive literature on the myriad metabolic, morphological, and mechanical factors that typify the diversity of vertebrate physiology.
