Features: Since the publication of Volume 2, "Sports Medicine Encyclopaedia," titled "Sports Endurance," by the Medical Committee of the IOC, nine years have passed. In these nine years, significant progress has been made in research related to endurance. Professor Sheperd and Astrad have successfully collected the research findings of 85 renowned experts, organized them, and completed a comprehensive revision of the second edition of "Sports Endurance." The book "Sports Endurance" includes both fundamental and applied scientific information, covering various aspects related to endurance performance, such as cellular metabolism, genetics, physiological functions, environmental factors, experimental testing, and conditioning protocols. The book particularly focuses on research related to children, women, the elderly, and people with disabilities. Additionally, it emphasizes the analysis of endurance issues in different Olympic sports, dedicating separate chapters to running, swimming, rowing, skiing, cycling, and team sports for in-depth study. The updated and expanded second edition will become an authoritative reference book for scientists, clinicians, and graduate students worldwide who have long been interested in this book.
