This lab manual is designed to benefit those colleges and universities that offer courses with lab components in physical fitness, exercise physiology, and healthy lifestyles but do not have the facilities and/or budget to allow students to train in high-tech laboratory settings. This long-overdue book-essential for sports and exercise science departments on a budget-provides meaningful lab experiences that don't require sophisticated and expensive equipment.
