What is The Athlete's Clock : How Biology and Time Affect Sport Performance about?

<p><i>The Athlete’s Clock: How Biology and Time Affect Sport Performance</i> offers an engaging, interdisciplinary consideration of some of the most compelling questions in sport and exercise science. This unique text takes a broad look at the physiological clock, offering students, researchers, coaches, and athletes a unique approach to understanding how various aspects of time affect sport performance.</p> <p><i>The Athlete’s Clock</i> explores the ways in which time and its relationship to athletic effort can optimize sport performance. Readers can investigate challenging questions such as these:</p> <p>•If physiological responses to training vary rhythmically throughout the day, what is the optimal time of day for training?</p> <p>•If a coach thinks that a high stroke count leads to a better time in a particular swim event, should the athlete go with it? Or is it better to stick to a more intuitively normal cadence?</p> <p>•Do endurance athletes consciously control their pacing, or are they under the control of unconscious processes within the central nervous system?</p> <p>•In what ways do aging and rhythmic biological variations over time control athletic performance?</p> <p>
