Test Bank for Exercise Physiology: Theory and Application (12th Edition)

Overview

The Test Bank for Exercise Physiology: Theory and Application to Fitness and Performance (12th Edition) by Scott Powers and Dr. John Quindry provides instructors with a complete set of assessment tools aligned with the leading textbook in the field. This test bank supports a variety of exercise science disciplines, including kinesiology, human performance, clinical physiology, physical therapy, and physical education.

Fully updated to match the 12th edition of the textbook, this test bank includes a wide range of question types—multiple choice, true/false, and short answer—designed to evaluate comprehension of key physiological principles. New chapters on exercise in disease prevention and therapy highlight the growing importance of physical activity in health care and performance training.
