Laboratory Assessment and Exercise Prescription With HKPropel
Online Video provides the practical knowledge and application
skills for administering, interpreting, and applying data from
health and fitness testing to create data-backed exercise
prescription for clients. Focusing on the tests most widely used by
professionals working in health, fitness, and allied health, the
text covers both clinical and field tests so readers will be able
to conduct assessments using a wide range of equipment and
resources. Because the content is consistent with ACSM's Guidelines
for Exercise Testing and Prescription, Eleventh Edition, both
current and aspiring professionals can be assured they're using the
most up-to-date methods and information available to best serve
individual client needs and goals. Each lab demonstrates
applications for the screenings and tests presented, with
straightforward instructions for performing the assessment and
collecting accurate data-both in the lab and when working with
actual clients. Readers will learn about common errors made in
assessments and will find out how to interpret results to assist
clients in setting realistic health and fitness goals. Finally,
readers will understand how the results of assessment will affect
exercise program design and will learn how to combine data and
client goals to design and prescribe an individualized exercise
program. The book begins by taking the reader through the
groundwork of working with clients and giving the reader experience
with preparticipation screenings and basic fitness assessments.
Next, assessment of body composition is addressed, along with
assessment of resting metabolic rate, metabolic equations, and the
application of those calculations within an exercise program.
Aerobic and muscular fitness assessments are presented, followed by
assessment of clinical variables, including pulmonary function
testing, basic electrocardiography, and functional fitness testing.
Two appendices cover common classes of medications (and how these
medications may affect the exercise response) and basic emergency
procedures for exercise physiology labs. Eleven case studies are
also included, providing practical experience with interpreting
data and designing an exercise program for a client. Related online
video, delivered through HKPropel, demonstrates select assessments
to improve comprehension of how to apply the content and develop
skills for use with clients. Laboratory Assessment and Exercise
Prescription is the essential guide for those studying for a
fitness certification as well as for current health and fitness
professionals who want a handy reference for testing. It offers the
direction and understanding needed to accurately conduct exercise
testing; analyze, interpret, and communicate data; and ultimately
prescribe effective and safe exercise programs for clients. Note: A
code for accessing online videos is included with all new print
books.
