CHOICE Review

This revised edition of Physiological Testing of the Elite Athlete, ed. by J.I. Duncan MacDougall, Howard A. Wenger, and Howard J. Green (1982), is a valuable resource for individuals interested in techniques for physiological testing to determine exercise capacities or to help evaluate progress of a training program. The book covers in-depth procedures to evaluate muscular strength and power, aerobic and anaerobic capacities and power, flexibility, and kin-anthropometry. Other topics discussed include reasons for measurement procedures; different techniques for measuring physiological factors and justification for a particular method; and precautions to be aware of when testing. Of particular interest are the insights and views of contributors on the controversies associated with utilizing different protocols or procedures. Recommended for university collections. -A. H.
