Physiological Tests for Elite Athletes presents guidelines for pretest preparation of labs and athletes, with five reproducible forms. The book takes readers through discussions of general assessment procedures, including
- blood lactate testing,
- anthropometric testing,
- blood sampling and handling,
- flexibility assessment,
- VO2max assessment, and
- various methods of strength and power testing.
The book also provides sport-specific information in the assessment of athletic performance. All 17 sport-specific chapters include step-by-step protocols particularly suited to testing athletes engaged in that sport.
In all, Physiological Tests for Elite Athletes provides a complete international review of athlete testing. It’s the most comprehensive applied testing manual available for exercise scientists and students of exercise physiology.
