Part 1: Definitions:; Semantic and physiological definitions;. Endurance sports;. Part 2: Basic scientific considerations:; Part 2a: Biological bases of endurance performance and the associated functional capacities:;. General considerations;. Anatomical and anthropometric fundamentals of endurance;. Cellular metabolism and endurance;. The pulmonary system and endurance;. Cardiac function and endurance;. Peripheral circulation and endurance;. Central nervous influence on fatigue;. Muscular factors in endurance;. Endocrine factors in endurance;. Food stores and energy reserves;. Part 2b: Psychological aspects of endurance performance:; Psychological aspects of endurance performance;. Part 2c: Genetic determinants of endurance performance:;. Genetic determinants of endurance performance;. Part 2d: Physical limitations of endurance performance:;. Mechanical constraints upon endurance performance;. Heat exchange in hot and cold environments;. Economy of movement;. Part 3: Measurements of endurance:;. Factors to be measured;. Maximal oxygen intake;. Sportspecific ergometric equipment;. Haemoglobin, blood volume and endurance;. Muscular endurance and blood lactate;. Metabolism in the contracting skeletal muscle;. Body composition and body energy stores;. Personality and endurance performance: The state/trait controversy;. Sensory processes and endurance performance;. Environmental extremes and endurance performance;. Part 4: Principles of endurance preparation:;. Influences of biological age and selection;. Endurance conditioning; Diet, vitamins and fluids: intake before and after prolonged exercise; Psychology and endurance sports;. Prevention of injuries in endurance athletes;. Biochemical causes of fatigue and overtraining;. Reversible reproductive changes with endurance training;. Part 5: Specific population groups and endurance training:;. Aerobic responses to physical training in children;. Pregnant women and endurance exercise;. The elderly and endurance training;. Part 6: Clinical aspects of endurance training:;. Medical surveillance of endurance sport;. Cardiovascular benefits of endurance exercise;. Cardiac problems in endurance sports;. Lung fluid movement;. Hyperthermia,. hypothermia and problems of hydration;. Problems of high altitude;. Ambient air pollution and endurance performance;. Effects of endurance exercise on immune response;. Overuse syndromes;. Other health benefits of physical activity;. Part 7: Specific issues in individual sports:;. Swimming as an endurance sport;. The energetics of running;. Canoeing;. Rowing;. Crosscountry ski racing;. Cycling;. Triathlon training and competition;. Mountaineering;. The physiology of humanpowered flight;. Endurance in other sports;. Index
Includes bibliographical references and index. Endurance in Sport is an exhaustive and authoritative work on all aspects of this major component of sports science which embraces all medical and sportspecific issues of particular relevance to the endurance competitor, defined as the participant in activities of more than one hour's duration. The scientific basis and mechanisms of endurance physiological, psychological, genetic and environmental are considered in depth. Measurement of endurance is extensively reviewed as is training for physical activities requiring endurance as a component of participation. Both editors are expert exercise physiologists highly regarded in the world scientific community and are thus uniquely placed to select expert contributors to this volume.
