Designed as a companion to ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, Seventh Edition and as a recommended study tool for ACSM certifications, ACSM's Resource Manual for Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription covers all the major aspects of preventive rehabilitative and fitness programs and the main points from all position stands of the American College of Sports Medicine.
ACSM's Resource Manual for Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription provides readers with the necessary background information to address the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) set forth in ACSM's Guidelines. New topics covered and those with increased emphasis include assessment of physical activity, applied exercise programming, arthritic diseases and conditions, neuromuscular diseases and exercise, and more.
Features:
- Covers both the clinical and health/fitness topics addressed on the ACSM certification exams
- Written by international experts with representative expertise in physiology, kinesiology, fitness, cardiology, pulmonary medicine, and epidemiology
- Substantially reorganized
- Listing of KSA content areas that are covered in each chapter
- Cross-references to material presented elsewhere in book or in Guidelines
- Summary at the end of each chapter
- Two colour art program
- Selected Readings for Further Study provide recommendations for additional literature to further understanding of the topic
