Book Description

ISBN-10: 0781769035 | ISBN-13: 978-0781769037 | Publication Date: February 5, 2009

The single most internationally read and referenced text in sports medicine, exercise science, and health and fitness, this manual succinctly summarizes recommended procedures for exercise testing and exercise prescription in healthy and diseased individuals. This gold-standard text is a convenient, one-stop resource for the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) that must be mastered by candidates for all ACSM certifications. Written by international experts in numerous fields, the Eighth Edition is fully compatible with newly released physical activity guidelines from the United States Department of Health and Human Services and state-of-the-art, research-based recommendations.

A companion Website for instructors will offer a test generator, an image bank, PowerPoint slides, and a WebCT/BlackBoard-ready course cartridge. A student Website will offer the fully searchable text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, February 22, 2010

This review is from: ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription (Spiral-bound)
ACSM is one of the most reputable organizations for anything dealing with exercise. I am using this book for a class in college and it is perfect. There are great tables, figures, and flow-charts. The book covers everything from risk stratification and risk factors for CVD to different protocols for sub-maximal exercise tests. This book will prepare you for a client that comes to you for the first time having no idea how to start exercise. Once again, great book. Highly recommended.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription (Paperback)
This Guideline is mainly for your review of ACSM and it didn't provide much details so don't expect too much on it.
