What a journey writing this text has been. The lengthy voyage started
well before the idea hatched of authoring a text that contained the
word “thermodynamics”! I was informed by my good friend and
sometimes colleague Dr. Jose Antonio that by including that word in
the title, nutritionists and exercise physiologists might avoid the
subject. But almost every step of my expedition was taken on a rather
solid foundation of thermodynamics and as such the topic could not
possibly be omitted from the title or the text of a book about
bioenergetics and energy expenditure. I am not a physicist. In fact I
?rst went to college to become a football coach. That vocational
choice began to deteriorate when taking the mandatory anatomy and
physiology courses required of all physical education majors. This
information was exciting; my interest in physical education began to
wane. During sophomore year, I answered an advertisement in the school
newspaper requesting research subjects.
