ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, 11th Edition (2021) is the flagship publication of the American College of Sports Medicine and the most authoritative reference in the field of exercise science and clinical exercise physiology. Edited by Gary Liguori, Yuri Feito, Charles Fountaine, and Brad A. Roy, this critical handbook delivers scientifically grounded, evidence-informed standards that define best practices for professionals worldwide.
The extensively updated eleventh edition has been reorganized for greater clarity and fully integrates the 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, reflecting the most current, clinically sound approaches to exercise testing and prescription. The handbook provides succinct summaries of recommended procedures for exercise screening, preparticipation health assessment, cardiorespiratory fitness testing, muscular strength and endurance evaluation, flexibility testing, and body composition measurement - for both healthy individuals and patients with chronic conditions.
New to this edition: a dedicated chapter on exercise and conditions that affect the brain, including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, autism spectrum disorder, depression, and anxiety; expanded coverage of exercise prescription for special populations; and updated guidelines aligned with the latest ACSM position stands.
Essential for: ACSM Certified Exercise Physiologist (ACSM-EP), Certified Personal Trainer (ACSM-CPT), Clinical Exercise Physiologist (ACSM-CEP), and Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist (ACSM-RCEP) certification candidates; physicians; nurses; physician assistants; physical therapists; occupational therapists; dietitians; cardiac rehabilitation specialists; athletic trainers; exercise science students; and kinesiology programs.
"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math β Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
