This is the first edited book to address the topic of oxygen uptake kinetics and contains contributions from leading researchers in the field.

In recent years there has been a significant increase in the study of the features of the VO2 kinetic response by exercise physiologists. This is the first text entirely dedicated to the subject and represents a comprehensive review of research and its applications including: the effect of age, fitness and disease on VO2 kinetics an historical overview of research in VO2 kinetics practical guidance on the measurement of VO2 kinetics for research or diagnosis the practical application of research in VO2 kinetics in the understanding of exercise tolerance and athletic performance.
