ACSM Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription 9781496339072 Medicine Health Science Books Reviews
- This book is not fully legible on the ; the text on the boxed sections [which are apparently of particular importance] is cut off by the box margins, so the paragraphs become unintelligible, which essentially renders the book, useless. I would like a full refund.
- As a long time Exercise Physiologist, I have consistently found this book to be absolutely indispensable, and required reading and reference for all exercise professionals.
- Great book, a little smaller than the last edition. As with any small paperback textbook, it's hard to open without bending the cover, and it never stays open anyway. I brought my copy to my local Kinko's to have it cut and spiral bound and covered for about $6. It's way easier to leaf through and set down without losing the page. Definitely recommended.
- Great reference to use once certified and training clients! I used this book along with the ACSM's Resources for the Personal Trainer and this study guide ACSM Certified Personal Trainer Exam Prep 2018 Edition to prepare for my CPT exam and passed! I highly recommend both books to help prepare for the exam and to keep as for reference once certified.
- This edition has pretty much the same information as the last edition, but the layout is much easier on the eyes. The headings and format makes the information easier to follow.
- As advertised. Will encourage buying used books from seller. I attached real pictures. Not the spiral book so I expected heavy bending but it wasn’t. Read thru. Minor blemishes that could be print issue. See photos for example.
- Edit I contacted and explained what happened and how I wasn't happy and they are giving me a full refund. consumer service is amazing and I am so glad that they are able to do this. Star increase because of them.
I thought that this book was a spiral version but I learned that it wasn't. I ended up getting it cut and made into a spiral book and now I can't even see all the words. Not happy at all and I wish I could return the book for a refund or to get the version that I truly wanted but it is probably too late now. - Always the consensus source but don't expect practical exercise implementation examples
