Des facteurs tels que la consommation d’oxygène ou la mobilisation des muscles changent d’un sportif à l’autre, en fonction de l’âge, du sexe ou du potentiel génétique. Il est important de connaître ces déterminations et les principes physiologiques de l’effort afin de prendre en charge les sportifs. Grâce aux 64 concepts illustrés de cet ouvrage, vous comprendrez comment : - les facteurs bio-énergétiques qui déterminent la performance, - le muscle squelettique réagit à l'effort, - optimiser la performance athlétique, - faire une évaluation ergométrique des athlètes, - prescrire des activités pour la santé, etc. Clair et synthétique cet ouvrage présente les concepts fondamentaux de la physiologie du sport sous forme de double page. Le texte est toujours accompagné d’une illustration et d’un encadré récapitulatif afin de faciliter la mémorisation.
