This is an intergated approach to exercise physiology explaining how the major systems are all affected by autonomic neural control during exercise. It considers physiology, energy metabolism, the cardiovascular, respiratory system and temperature regulation. These areas have been selected for their significance during exercise because of the crucial importance of the autonomic nervous system in their control. In each case resting physiology is described before the derangements caused by exercise are discussed. It also examines some of the factors which affect autonomic nervous activity during exercise, namely age, sex, training and drugs and considers the clinical application of applied physiology. The book is intended primarily for undergraduate and postgraduate students in sport science with a specialist interest in exercise physiology. It is assumed that the reader will already have studied some physiology and physiology of exercises, and therefore this text is intended to supplement general textbooks and lecture material. Since exercise physiology provides a good example of a disturbance of homeostasis and the subsequent role of physiological control mechanisms to restore equilibrium, it is hoped that this text will also prove useful for students in medical and life sciences.
