A comprehensive guide to the science of movement.

Exercise Science For Dummies covers must-know information about the how and why to body movement. This useful primer covers content found in a typical introduction course in this topic area—which includes the likes of exercise physiology, biomechanics, and more. With current and helpful guidance, this book includes information on wearable technology, fitness programming across the lifespan, exercise as medicine, and the 101 on human performance, including prevention and care of injuries.

This book contains the primary principles of the field of exercise science, a vast field. Textbooks within even the subdisciplines contain so much information that you can get lost in the details. This book, on the other hand, covers the major concepts you need to know — the key aspects of exercise science across all the major systems of the body, the primary subdisciplines, and so on — in a much easier-to-read and easier-to-understand format than you’ll find in other textbooks in the field. Exercise Science For Dummies is an excellent introductory text to the entire field of exercise science. Here, we show you the forest rather than force you to focus too much on the trees.

With Exercise Science For Dummies, you'll:
• Discover the science behind movement and exercise
• Know the powerful connection between the mind and body
