A1 - Comana, Fabio PY - 2015 T2 - Exercise Physiology AB - This part of the text describes the many physiological systems that must work in a coordinated fashion for the body to maintain sustained physical exertion. Chapter 6 details the respiratory system. The anatomy, mechanics, and control of respiration are described, including the diffusion and transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Then Chapter 7 focuses on the cardiovascular system, presenting the anatomy of the heart and the structure of the blood vessels, including the associated hemodynamics of circulation. Chapter 8 brings this material together and presents information on the acute and chronic responses to exercise. The changes that take place during incremental, steady state, and maximal exercise are presented, as well as the cardiovascular and respiratory adaptations to training. SN - PB - F. A.
