Customer Reviews

Updated Guidelines5
These updated guidelines are must for any health professional involved with exercise or exercise prescription. Together with the ACSM's Resource Manual they form an indispensible resource. If you need more clinical guidelines you could also try CLINICAL EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY 2nd Ed. Ehrman, KJ, Gordon PM et al. An additional useful feature is that you get an access code to the publisher's site which gives you the text in electronic form.

Brilliant resource book for sprts physiotheropians5
If you are taking a sports physiotheropy course or are into excercise schedules..... this book is a must for you, and if you are not you should buy this book anyway.

Great book for sports scientists4
This book is a must for any student or practitioner in the field of sports science and physiology. The content is easy to understand and very helpful. Some parts of the book may or may not be relevant to all, but the background knowledge is always helpful.
