A review of previous research was completed to determine (a) the response of the cardiac time components of the left ventricle to varying types and intensities of training programs, (b) the probable physiological explanations for these responses, and (c) the significance of the changes which did or did not occur. It was found that, at rest,…

Thirty men are evaluated on selected anthropometric and cardio-respiratory measures before and after a twelve week at work stairclimbing intervention program. (Author/JS)

A relationship is sought between degree of improvement and duration of training sessions--15,30, and 45 minutes. (PBS)

It was concluded in this study that frequency of training is an important determinant in eliciting changes in cardiovascular and performance variables and in body composition. (JD)

The basics of physical fitness and information for developing a systematic program of exercise and physical activity for the individual are outlined. This book is divided into three major areas. Part one contains chapters dealing with basic physical fitness, understanding the human body and its needs, and methods of appraising individual fitness.…

The fundamentals of exercise physiology (the study of the physiological effects of bodily exertion) form the basis for this booklet designed for teachers of physical education. The scientific principles underlying the building of muscular strength and flexibility are described and illustrated. Topics covered include: (1) muscular strength,…
