Providing students with practical, hands-on knowledge, Exercise Prescription Case Studies for Healthy Populations introduces readers to situations they are likely to encounter when writing exercise prescriptions in actual settings.
The book focuses on apparently healthy individuals and includes cases and information for prescribing exercise for children, adolescents, older adults, and pregnant women. Students learn about screening, evaluation, physical fitness testing, clinical exercise testing and interpretation, metabolic equations, and principles for cardiorespiratory endurance, resistance exercise, flexibility exercise, and special considerations. The final chapter presents comprehensive case studies that outline the full process from initial screenings to the writing of a targeted exercise prescription.
The revised first edition has been updated to align with American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) guidelines, specifically those relating the cutoff guidelines for risk factors such as cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc. The names of tests and exercise prescription lengths have been adjusted accordingly.
Exercise Prescription Case Studies for Healthy Populations features content that prepares students for a meaningful career after graduation and helps them study for the ACSM Exercise Physiologist Certified (EP-C) certification. It is ideal for courses in exercise science and physiology.
