Exercise Physiology is a textbook by William D. McArdle, Frank L. Katch and Victor L. Katch. I read the eighth edition, which was also an international edition.
I wasn’t a big fan of the book. It’s dense: while there are lots of sections and graphics, it felt like a lot of heavy text and I struggled to focus on taking so much in. A lot of it got very technical, which may or may not be a good thing depending on what your current knowledge of the subject is.
As a minor point, they re-use the same full-page photos for the chapter title pages, which is disappointing.
It’s a comprehensive textbook, but a bit too heavy for me. Literally: it’s 2.9kg.
