Customer Reviews

Very late Shipment

I got this for my summer course, which is only four weeks long. A week later, I ordered more books. I have gotten those books, but not this one. I am in week 2 of my college class; it's been over three weeks since I ordered. Whoever was responsible for shipping this really dropped the ball. Don't order if you need it, only if it is for personal growth.

just what i thought

description matched the item. i received just what I wanted and thought I would get. Great deal!

An absolutely excellent resource in excellent condition.

I purchased this for personal use, not for a class, but I am sure it would be an excellent resource for either. I have found it full of essential information in a logical user friendly format. Well written, well researched, well put together. I highly reccommend it.

Book

The book was in good condition and delivered to me quickly. The book description stated there was some wearing around the edges, which was true when the book was sent. However, the book was in overall good condition.

Excellent Textbook!!!

This book was used in my Exercise Phys course last year, and I must say that it is very thorough and presented in an easy-to-understand format. The text has many illustrations and graphs to show you the dynamics of each concept. I had no Exercise Physiology background prior to this class, and this book made all the difference in being successful with the new material. I have, on numerous occasion, referred back to this text for information after completing the class. I highly recommend purchasing this book at least as a reference go-to for any Exercise Science enthusiast.
