The Gisolfi Legacy: Its Impact on Past, Present, and Future Studies of Thermoregulation and Exercise

The Gisolfi Legacy: Its Impact on Past, Present, and Future Studies of Thermoregulation and Exercise features a summary overview of several of the seminal studies of Carl Gisolfi, an internationally renowned exercise physiologist and a past-president of the American College of Sports Medicine. The DVD reviews Gisolfi's innovative research in a number of areas, including thermoregulation during exercise; fluid regulation; the GI system and exercise; and thermotolerance and cellular responses to heat/exercise. The DVD also speculates on what research Gisolfi would currently be working on (he died unexpectedly in June 2000, after a prolonged illness).

Among the topics covered:

• History lesson
• ”Is the Gi system built for exercise?”
• Seminal studies-1970's
• Mid-1990's to early 2000's
• Animal studies-1970's
• Leftovers
• 1980's-new directions
