This book appears to be a pretty darn good resource for fitness prescription and testing. I have read much of it and it is pretty well written and quite clinical. So if that's what you need, then this book is it.
However, I was intending to get books to study for the ACSM Personal Trainer certification. This is NOT the book for that. Now granted, they recommend this book on their website, and it may be helpful, but the intended primary study source is the ACSM's resources for the personal trainer...book. So if that's what you are trying to do (like i was) then get that book, not this one. If you want a bunch of cool knowledge about exercise prescription, then this is the book for you.

Has all the knowledge you need to evaluate, test, and retest your client, patient, or subject. If you don't have this book (or a previous version of it) and are not following the procedures in this handbook...you're not helping your client as well as you can.

The book include many useful information, most of all, within the numerous schools of fitness testing and indicator, ACSM is still the most professional and reliable source.

An excellent resource for any Personal Trainer. I carry mine with me every time I see a client. It's absolutely packed with excellent information. As an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, I have found this book one of the best they offer and one of the best resources I've had as a Trainer overall.

This book is a must have for all exercise professionals. All of the guidelines for exercise in healthy populations as well as with certain diseases are discussed in this book.

This helps all personal trainers understand the processes of the body during work. In spiral for better use. Recommend across the board.

I've got the book withing one week and it's brand new, quite fast, and cheaper than the university book center.. So It's a good deal.. Get it from amazon if you are health related students...

This book came in great condition with no marks. It was exactly what I needed for my class and cost less.

There were no problems associated with this transaction, other than it isn't usable for the current course my son is taking. Wondering if the seller would accept a return? Otherwise, shipment was speedy and received within expected time frame. No complaints with seller over condition or shipment or price.
