The Edwin Mellen Press, 220 pages Boone, T. (2010). Integrating Spirituality and Exercise Physiology: Toward A New Understanding of Health. The Edwin Mellen Press, 188 pages. This book proposes that health care is not just about physical abilities but mental and spiritual beliefs as well. The author argues for a more complex understanding of the psycho-physiological connection and advocates for a more holistic approach that may presently be perceived as a radical way to think about the practice of exercise and exercise physiology as a profession. Boone, T. (2009). Basic Issues In Sports Ethics: The Many Ways of Cheating. The Edwin Mellen Press, 273 pages. This book argues that cheating not only destroys the integrity of sports, it destroys the integrity of the athlete and everyone who either supports cheating or allows it to happen. Majors topics such as “athletics is over the edge,”“performance-enhancing substances,”“victory with honor,”“negative impact of marketers,” and “accountability” are discussed in reference to the “cheat pushers” who must not be allowed access to those who love athletics. Boone, T. (2009). The Professionalization of Exercise Physiology: Certification, Accreditation, and Standards of Practice of the American Society of Exercise Physiologists (ASEP). The Edwin Mellen Press, 645 pages. Exercise physiology is evolving and will continue to do so for a long time to come. This is the natural progression of things evident in most established professions. The chapters in this textbook represent a partial record of the change process. All professions are unfinished to some degree. The important point here is that a collection of individuals, usually members of a professional organization, are continually in pursuit of better procedures, guidelines, and policies. Boone, T. (2008). Sex Before Athletic Performance: Myth or Fact. The Edwin Mellen Press, 163 pages The first of its kind, this book examines the anecdotal evidence and the empirical literature pertaining to the physiology of sexual activities, seeking to dispel myths associated with sex’s negative impact on athletic performance. Boone, T. (2007). Ethical Standards and Professional Credentials in the Practice of Exercise Physiology. The Edwin Mellen Press, 416 pages. This is a book about ethics and professionalism in the practice of exercise physiology.

The author shares a academic vision for the future that requires serious analysis and decision-making on behalf of all exercise physiologists. Boone, T. (2006). Is Sports Nutrition for Sale? Nova Science Publishing, Inc., 151 pages. The attitude that the use of performance-enhancing supplements and drugs is not unethical needs examination by exercise physiology professionals. This book explains - clearly, within the importance of professional development in exercise physiology - the way an exercise physiologist should think about sports nutrition, athletics, and cheating.
