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

By Douglas Jones - Published on Amazon.com

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.

This edition is to replace/supplement an edition I had from college (it has been a bit since college). The book flows really well. The explanations are easy to follow. Anyone who works with clients in regards to exercise should have this book. Having the most up to date edition only makes sense since there have been changes along the way.

This review is from: ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription (Paperback)

I'm so happy I decided to buy this book! It was optional for my class but has proven to be very helpful while I was doing my labs! It has very up to date and useful information. It would help in any basic fitness assessment type of class. I recommend it.
