Samenvatting

This book is an introduction to the physiology of the body in relation to exercise. It discusses the effect of training and exercise on specific organs and systems of the body. The first section of the book examines muscle and includes a description of muscle cells and the mechanism of contraction of the cells. The method of stimulation and the strength of contraction are examined and the differences, both anatomically and physiologically, between slow and fast muscle. The relationship between muscle type and performance is highlighted. The following sections discuss metabolism and respiration. Metabolism is discussed in relation to oxygen consumption, energy storage and the concept of the oxygen debt and the mechanisms of oxygen and carbon dioxide transport around the body are examined. The anatomy and mechanics of the respiratory system are described and the chemical and mechanical control mechanisms of respiration are considered. The cardiovascular system and its physiology and control are discussed, and this section includes a description of the structure and function of the blood vessels and the heart. Temperature regulation and the homeostatic mechanisms for body temperature control are described. This discussion includes aspects of fluid balance control including sweat production and the importance of salt in sweat. Heat acclimatization and the balance between rehydration and energy supplementation for dehydrated athletes is discussed. The final part of the book includes a review of the drugs and ''magic'' potions used by athletes and their effect on the body. A discussion of exercise in relation to high blood pressure, osteoporosis and obesity and the possibility of damage to the body, especially to muscles is included in the last chapter. Throughout the book emphasis is placed on the effect of exercise on the physiology and anatomy of the systems discussed and the resulting benefits to the body as a whole.

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
