I agree with Frank Katch that his book's chapters on CV function will serve you well.
Just to add an alternative, when I was a doctoral student I took a mixed masters/PhD course in cardiovascular physiology where we used Loring Rowell's textbook "Human Circulation: Regulation during Physical Stress" from 1986. The updated version "Human Cardiovascular Control" published in 1993 (Oxford University Press) is outstanding. The whole book is probably too much, but chapters 5,6, and 7 are the kind you return to again and again when discussing cardiovascular function and circulatory adjustments during exercise. These might be good supplemental chapters to go along with MKK 6. regards, Stephen Seiler Stephen Seiler Ph.D FACSM Professor Faculty of Health and Sport Service box 422 Agder Universiy College 4604 Kristiansand, Norway Post messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To (un)subscribe, send any message to sportscience-(un)[EMAIL PROTECTED] View all messages at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sportscience/.
