Details:
For over 30 years, the BASES (British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences) Physiological Testing Guidelines has been the leading knowledge base on current testing methodologies for sport and exercise scientists. This book serves as a comprehensive guide to validated and reliable physiological assessment protocols, suitable for both laboratory and sport-specific settings, aimed at supporting athletes of all abilities in achieving their peak performance.

The book features contributions from leading specialists in sport physiology, covering a range of sports and discussing the ethical, practical, and methodological issues involved. This volume is essential for both research and applied settings, especially for sport-specific exercise testing.

This new edition draws on the authors’ extensive experience supporting athletes across various sports and Olympic cycles to achieve world-leading performances. It retains much of the valuable content from earlier editions but is presented in a revised format that matches the sport groupings used in elite sport support by UK sport institutes. The text is further enriched with updated case studies, available through supporting web resources, providing a practical, evidence-based approach for those in the field.
