The Health/Fitness Instructors Handbook is the latest, most complete source of fitness information for beginning instructors and professionals who want to keep abreast of the advances in physical fitness. Authors Edward T. Howley and B. Don Franks team up with seven contributors to cover the fundamentals of fitness, exercise physiology, and kinesiology, and to provide guidelines for developing safe fitness programs. The book includes discussions on stress testing and ECG monitoring, guidelines for evaluating health status and recommending appropriate exercises, and practical forms, tests, activities, and charts for day-to-day use. The Health/Fitness Instructors Handbook is an indispensable resource for any fitness professional. It covers all of the competencies for the American College of Sports Medicines Health/Fitness Instructor certification program, and answers questions about exercise, nutrition, and injury prevention.
