In addition, the book provides extensive discussion of 2 recent changes to the ACSM guidelines: the newly adopted exercise prescription method of [Vo.sub.2] reserve and changes in the metabolic equations that are used to determine the oxygen cost of various modes of exercise. Exercise Prescription: A Case Study Approach to the ACSM Guidelines provides practical information in an easy-to-read format that complements ACSM's basic guidelines nicely. This instruction book for exercise prescription is an essential reference for anyone interested in ACSM certification or for those health care professionals who wish to extend their expertise in developing exercise guidelines for different patient populations.
