Moran Schiamama Saghiv In presenting this book, I would like to dedicate this book to my deceased mother Amira Sciamama-Sagiv for her love and for being a constant resource of patience and understanding. I would also like to express my gratitude to Professor Ehud Goldhammer, a fine cardiologist, and Professor David Ben-Sira, a great statistician and biomechanist, who read parts of the written material and gave me constructive criticism and useful suggestions. Finally, yet importantly, I am thankful and blessed to have Aviv, Michael, Noam, and Romi my children in my life as well as Jayme my wife. All five are an immense source of happiness. Michael S. Sagiv To my deceased wife, Amira, who has been my guiding light, and to my deceased sister Lilyan Climor, for her unrestricted love and support.
Preface
Exercise requires the integration of physiological mechanisms to enable both the respiratory and cardiovascular systems to support the increased metabolic demands. During exercise, both pulmonary and cardiovascular systems are under stress. The ability to respond to this stress is a measure of physiological health and fitness. Exercise testing evaluates the respiratory and cardiovascular responses to increased gradual workloads in order to define the level of p
