All the basics were covered, and I enjoyed the "looking to the past" section of the text highlighting important research discoveries in exercise physio and the corresponding people that conducted the research. Review: I like the book, it is the first book I have read extensively using kindle - The bad part: I did not know how to use the features of kindle that would permit me to book mark and make notes until very recently. The good part: I found the text had a wealth of data I would want to refer to. I expect to use it frequently. Worth the investment for me. My back ground: 76 yo practicing physician who trains intensely most days of the week. I also encounter older men in my practice who are in terrible shape to whom I give advice (when asked).
