Advanced Neuromuscular Exercise Physiology, Second Edition, uses a mix of biochemistry, molecular biology, neurophysiology, and muscle physiology to provide a synthesis of knowledge and research in the field. The text is a leading resource devoted solely to the topic of nervous and neuromuscular systems, and it assists readers in identifying current directions in research and new avenues for exploration.
Advanced Neuromuscular Exercise Physiology, Second Edition, offers readers a foundation of knowledge while detailing the most recent findings in the rapidly changing field of neuromuscular exercise physiology. It simplifies complex concepts with illustrations and graphs—including 20 new figures—all showcased in a new larger format to help students visualize and better understand the material. A new chapter on clinical considerations has been added, focusing on conditions that involve a compromise in the neuromuscular mechanisms necessary for movement. Other chapters have been updated with new or expanded content, including the following topics:
Chapter objectives have been added to the text to provide a road map for the readers, and new review questions help students assess their understanding of the content. Chapter summaries recap the key issues presented for each topic. Analyses of research findings and research applications are highlighted in special sidebars. Throughout the text, practical examples help readers engage with the content.
Within the dynamic field of neuromuscular exercise physiology, ideas of how nerves and muscles collaborate during acute and chronic exercise are continually evolving. Advanced Neuromuscular Exercise Physiology, Second Edition, offers an authoritative perspective of current research in the field as it seeks to encourage discussion, further study, and new research directions.

Other chapters have been updated with new or expanded content, including the following topics:
- Blood flow restriction during exercise as a training method
- The influence of pain on motor unit recruitment
- Surface EMG signals and the role that high-density surface EMG has played in motor unit recruitment research
- Updates on the role of the motoneuronal initial segment in the activation and adaptation of motoneurons
- An exploration of the “onion skin” pattern and neuromechanical matching for an explanation of motor unit recruitment
- The role of exerkines and small extracellular vesicles in adaptation to exercise

Phillip F. Gardiner, PhD, is a professor emeritus of kinesiology and recreation management at the University of Manitoba, with a cross-appointment in the department of physiology and pathophysiology in the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences. He served as director of the Spinal Cord Research Centre at the University of Manitoba from 2015 to 2020 and prior to that was the director of the Health, Leisure, & Human Performance Research Institute.
Author of the Human Kinetics books Neuromuscular Aspects of Physical Activity (2001) and Skeletal Muscle: Form and Function (coauthor, 2006), Gardiner has also published over 150 research articles on neuromuscular system adaptability.
Gardiner served as the president of the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) and as coeditor in chief of the Canadian Journal of Applied Physiology. In 2007, he received the highest award bestowed by the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology: the CSEP Honour Award. He served as a Tier I Canada Research Chair in physical activity and health studies at the University of Manitoba from 2002 to 2016 and was chair of the Scientific Committee of Muscular Dystrophy Canada from 2015 to 2018. He has also served the Canadian Institutes of Health Research as chair of the board and as scientific director of the Institute of Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis (IMHA).
