Limits of Human Performance

Although the study of exercise physiology is in its infancy compared to other sciences such as chemistry and physics, it is bustling with activity. This area of research has a great deal of appeal because it concerns the limits of human potential. The results of these studies affect us all, whether we jog three times a week to improve our health, are concerned with the health of others, or are concerned with the training of world-class performers.
