With this in mind it seemed that a quick reference, or revision text in the physiology of exercise was sorely missing. We had the idea that a text of this nature would be applicable to undergraduate students studying Exercise Physiology as a major component of their degree, to students opting to study the elective as an option, and then of course to those professionals and interested parties who need a guide to the essentials of the subject. Hopefully this text will be used by all of these parties. We acknowledge that the title of the text is grammatically incor- rect, and should in fact read the ‘Physiology of Exercise.’ After much debate and thought over this problem we decided to stay with ‘Exercise Physiology,’ mainly because it is the name given to most undergraduate modules of this nature. The Key Notes sections of this book should highlight the important revi- sion areas within each topic of interest. The following sections provide the major detail of these topics, whilst also highlighting where topics interlink. We have attempted to keep this detail to the essential information, and to use easy diagrams to help underpin the knowledge. Students and interested parties alike should therefore become very familiar with the essential components of exer- cise physiology without having to read through huge tomes. We hope that once the essential information is grasped that the reader will be enthused to read further in what is (we think) a fascinating subject. Karen Birch, August 2004
