Exercise Prescription Case Studies for Clinical Populations
introduces readers to situations they are likely to encounter when
writing exercise prescriptions in professional settings. The book
focuses on individuals with certain clinical diseases, exposing
students to practices established over many years of research to
ensure the safety and efficacy of an exercise program for this
unique population. Students are presented with strategies for
working with individuals with advanced cardiovascular disease,
peripheral vascular disease, and pulmonary diseases. A case study
approach is used, beginning with the contraindications for clinical
exercise testing through exercise prescriptions. The case studies
closely follow the guidelines established by the American College
of Sports Medicine, rendering it a valuable resource to help
students prepare for the ACSM Certified Clinical Exercise
Physiologist exam. Exercise Prescription Case Studies for Clinical
Populations features content that prepares students for a
meaningful career after graduation. The text is exemplary for
courses in exercise science and physiology.

Cameron Diaz shares her formula for becoming happier, healthier,
and stronger in this positive, essential guide that is grounded in
science and inspired by personal experience. Cameron Diaz has been
a role model for millions of women all over the world throughout
her career. But, as she'd be the first to admit, she hasn't always
been as health-conscious as she is now. As a young woman, Cameron
didn't always think about how the decisions she was making about
her diet and lifestyle would impact her health for years to come.
But over the past fifteen years, she has discovered that what she
eats is inseparably linked to how she feels and looks. That
knowledge - that nutrition impacts life - fuelled her hunger to
educate herself about the best ways to feed, move, and care for her
body. In The Body Book, Cameron shares what she's learned and
offers a comprehensive guide for women to look and feel their best.
Cameron doesn't offer a one-size-fits-all program or set goals to
reach in seven days or thirty days or a year; instead, The Body
Book offers a long-term approach to a long, strong, healthy life.
Informed by experts and grounded in science, but brought to life by
Cameron's passion and personal experiences, The Body Book is an
empowering, educational, and inspiring handbook for women
everywhere.
