Not a website but I this textbook is a good resource. You can easily find a free PDF version online but for the sake of this comment, I just linked it on Amazon.

This was the main textbook used in my exercise physiology classes and I found it really interesting. Hoping you will too!

>Body type and nutrition have so much to do with it as well, and I appreciate the concept of isolating variables like hypertrophy, but I don’t believe that type of factor isolation is as practical in real life.

​

No, no, please don't misunderstand. I'm isolating load in the equation of volume. Hypertrophy itself is the goal not a variable. Anyway, it seems that you are looking at this from the standpoint of designing programs for other people. I'm designing this program for myself.

If you're into biomechanics then you might want to look at this book. It's what's sparked this conversation. In all honesty, I can't argue with the physics of it. So I'm not looking for an article that argues the physics because you just can't even though people try. I'm trying to understand IF he's missing a physiological component in his reasoning. From the standpoint of load, I can't disagree with the man. Hence, I'm trying to understand how load is distributed if that makes sense.

If you are specifically interested in CV physiology, our med school uses Pappano and Weir. ( https://www.amazon.com/Cardiovascular-Physiology-Monograph-Student-Consult/dp/0323086977 )

I'm personally not the biggest fan of it, and instead I put together this video series on core CV physiology topics for my students: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYojB5NEEakWY3ZS0acDMw4nbEZV-y7pk

Looks like a baboon to me:

There is a book called the benefits in yoga are in breathing less. He talks about the functions of CO2 in the body and how hyperventilating effects it. Kinda interesting perspective.

Not 100% sure, I just googled a full sentence with quotes, but it looks like it’s from Human Physiology by Chandi Charan Chatterjee. I don’t think it’s available at the link here but I’m fairly sure this is the source.

This book helped me a lot in med school.

It's geared towards med students I think. But applied physiology is pretty much going to be the same thing across the health sciences.

I know one medical student on YouTube (GG So Real) recommended this book as easy to understand. I haven’t read it, but that price wasn’t too steep to deter me away from it. The YouTube also is very open about her struggles in med school so, I’m sure the author clearly explains concepts. Good luck.

Also, I’m not a medical student, nor an aspiring med student but if I were to pursue higher education in the future I’d be open to buying this book. Good luck!

Thanks for the tips. Is maybe this the book by Brooks you have in mind? https://www.amazon.com/George-Brooks-Physiology-Bioenergetics-Applications/dp/B008UYT36A

This is your winner for basics. https://www.amazon.com/Physiology-Sport-Exercise-Larry-Kenney/dp/1450477674

For more advanced I recommend this textbook from McArdle, Katch & Katch. https://www.amazon.com/Exercise-Physiology-Nutrition-Energy-Performance/dp/1451191553/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=exercise+physiology+nutrition%2C+energy%2C+and+human+performance&qid=1602361587&sprefix=exercise+physiology+&sr=8-3

The book "The Human body" is good as well. http://www.amazon.com/The-Human-Body-Book-DVD/dp/0756628652 There is also an ap called 3D brain which might be helpful. I take detailed notes with complete diagrams for my physiology MOOC and I still can't remember...... (old brain). I wonder if Joe Dispeza would interest you.
