ACSM's Clinical Exercise Physiology adapts and expands upon the disease-related content from
ACSM's Resource Manual for Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription 7th Edition to
create a true classroom textbook. This new resource offers research-based coverage of more than
35 conditions commonly seen in practice--from a host of cardiovascular disorders to
immunological hematological disorders. Condition chapters are organized by disease types and
then divided into sections that cover specific conditions from a pathological and etiological
perspective. To provide a complete view of clinical exercise physiology the book also covers
important considerations and foundational elements such as screening pharmacology and
electrocardiography. As an American College of Sports Medicine publication the text offers the
unsurpassed quality and excellence that has become synonymous with titles by the leading
exercise science organization in the world. *eBook available. Fast smart and convenient
today's eBooks can transform learning. These interactive fully searchable tools offer 24 7
access on multiple devices the ability to highlight and share notes and much more. *Complete
alignment with the latest ACSM's Guidelines ensures focused coverage of all essential topics.
*Evidenced-based coverage of over 35 conditions provides the most extensive coverage of
diseases available for the course. *A standard format in the conditions chapters (introduction
condition pathology clinical applications case study summary and comorbidities case
studies) makes specific information easy to find. *A chapter on exercise genomics provides an
overview of this new field and its potential clinical applications while a separate chapter on
electrocardiography provides a solid foundation for those who need to read and interpret EKGs.
*Special considerations beyond the conditions such as comorbidities the exercise environment
legal considerations lifespan considerations pharmacology etc.) ensure complete coverage of
clinical exercise physiology. *In-text learning aids including chapter-opening summaries and
learning objectives end-of-chapter review questions and case studies with questions for
classroom discussion help students prepare for practice.
