ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY: Understanding the Body for Better Performance

Anatomy and Physiology is a core subject for students of physical education and sports sciences. This book is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the human body — its structure, systems, and functions — and to relate these concepts to physical activity, performance, and health. It serves as a guide for students, teachers, and professionals seeking clarity in applied anatomy and physiology. The content has been simplified and organized into units covering major systems of the body, including the skeletal, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, nervous, endocrine, and reproductive systems. Each unit is supported by definitions, diagrams, and tables to aid in visual learning. We extend our gratitude to Sports Publication for their support in bringing this edition to life.
