| Abstract |
"ACSM's Exercise Testing and Prescription takes the content from the bestselling ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription and delivers it in a pedagogically-oriented format. It walks students through the process of selecting and administering fitness assessments, interpreting the results, and creating an exercise/fitness plan that that responds to those results and the needs of each individual. This is a textbook for the exercise testing and prescription course (or courses) that appear in every undergraduate exercise science program, and which prepare students to collect, interpret, and act upon"-- Provided by publisher. |
