The following table provides information of additional reading
material. Where possible, this additional reading has been converted to formats
accessible through the internet. To retrieve such resources, such as PDF
documents or URL's to other web-based resources, simply click on the content of
the "Location" column.
Note that I have listed readings that mostly pertain to an
understanding of exercise-induced fatigue. I have spread these out during the
course so that you can read this sequentially and progressively over time so
that you are better prepared for your assignment, my two lectures on this
content, and the debate.
