Controversies in Exercise Science
introduces a series of selected unresolved issues in the field of human
exercise science. The common thread to all of these topics is that, in
their ultimate resolution, they offer promise of insights into the
essential principles of physiological systems and how these respond to
the stresses of exercise. Each case study includes an examination of
research surrounding each issue; the innovative aspect, however, will be
that each of these controversies will be presented in the context of an
historical and/or philosophical perspective.
These
chapter include topics related to basic exercise physiology, sports,
physical activity, and exercise health. Underlying each of these debates
lie clues which may offer insights into the basic nature of living
beings.
Aimed at both academics and practitioners in the fields of exercise science, biology, and related sports science disciplines, Controversies in Exercise Science
provides arguments for both sides of several selected contemporary
controversies in the field of exercise science and, while no ultimate
resolution will be provided, the goal is, rather, to offer the reader
sufficient "raw material" on which he or she might make their own
judgement on the matters presented.
