| Summary |
This useful complement to ACSM's Guidelines for exercise testing and prescription, elaborates on all the major aspects of preventative rehabilitation and fitness programs, and the major postition stands of the American College of Spoprts Medicine (ACSM) and other scientific organizations. Providing readers with the information necessary to address the knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) set forth in the Seventh Edition of the ACSM's Guideleines, it's an effective study and review tool for preparing for any ACSM certification exam. And, ACSM's Resource Manual is the comprehensive resource for those working in the fitness and clinical exercise fields, as well as those in academic training. The contributions of experts are featured, showcasing their expertise in physiology, kinesiology, fitness, cardiology, pulmonary medicine, and epidemiology. Content comprises both theoretical and practical physiological concepts, with related examples of exercise testing, training and programming. The result is a complete perspective on health and fitness and clinical physiology. --back cover |
