diabetes before moving on to cardiac disease, lung disease, arthritis and back pain, ageing and older people, bone health, the female
participant, neurological and neuromuscular disorders, and spinal chord injury. The author team includes many of the UK's leading researchers
and exercise science and rehabilitation practitioners that specialise in each of the topic areas.

human physiology, biomedical sciences. The more practical aspects may also be of interest to athletes, coaches and team doctors.
