Clinical Exercise Physiology

ACSM’s Clinical Exercise Physiology adapts and expands upon the disease-related content from ACSM’s Resource Manual for Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, 7th Edition, to create a true classroom textbook. This new resource offers research-based coverage of more than 35 conditions commonly seen in practice—from a host of cardiovascular disorders to immunological/hematological disorders. Condition chapters are organized by disease types and then divided into sections that cover specific conditions from a pathological and etiological perspective. To provide a complete view of clinical exercise physiology, the book also covers important considerations and foundational elements, such as screening, pharmacology, and electrocardiography. As an American College of Sports Medicine publication, the text offers the unsurpassed quality and excellence that has become synonymous with titles by the leading exercise science organization in the world.

Clinical Exercise Physiology, Fourth Edition With Web Resource, is the most comprehensive guide to the clinical aspects of exercise physiology. Covering 24 chronic conditions, it is the go-to book for students preparing for ACSM Clinical Exercise Physiologist certification.

Clinical Exercise Science is an introduction to core principles and best practice in exercise science for students and practitioners working with clinical populations. Combining the latest scientific research with evidence-based, practitioner-led analysis, the book offers integrated coverage of the full clinical exercise curriculum, including: Pathophysiology of exercise and disease Exercise as a clinical intervention Exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle Health behaviour change Clinical skills in exercise science The book covers a wide range of conditions, including cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, metabolic disease and mental health problems, and includes an array of useful features to guide student learning, such as case studies, study tasks, definitions of key terms and suggestions for further reading. With contributions from leading researchers and health practitioners, this is an invaluable foundation text for any clinical exercise science course, and useful reading for any student or practitioner working in exercise science, exercise rehabilitation, health science or physical therapy.

This text will focus on the underlying causes of various disease states, the manifestation of symptoms, the use of exercise as a diagnostic tool, the utility of exercise as a rehabilitative vehicle, and the use of exercise to monitor and evaluate clinical progress. The book will describe the new developments in clinical research and technology associated with diagnoses and treatment, as well as the techniques and methods of exercise prescription and subsequent evaluation and progress. With both national and international experts contributing chapters in their respective fields, this book's strength is in its broad-based appeal, its utility as a textbook and as a reference text, and its well-balanced approach to medicine, applied physiology, and pathology.

Written specifically for clinical exercise physiologists, ECG Interpretation for the Clinical Exercise Physiologist, 2nd Edition, provides an introduction to basic concepts and measurements followed by in-depth explorations of rhythm and atrioventricular blocks and key topics including infarct, hypertrophy, axis, and conduction defects. Accompanying exercise-related case studies make this engaging text an ideal review resource for certification prep as well as a guide to success in practice. Enhancements to this 2nd Edition include a new design that improves readability and clarity, expanded study support through updated examples and case study questions, as well as additional interpretation practice opportunities that ensure understanding and boost clinical confidence.

This book reviews the assessment of human performance and the role of different exercise modes both in a laboratory and clinical setting. Details of how to successfully perform basic laboratory procedures for exercise training in health and disease, as well as how to apply non-invasive measurements in exercise physiology are provided. Chapters cover how to appropriately use a range of measures in assessing pulmonary function, anaerobic function and oxygen uptake. Techniques for cardiopulmonary rehabilitation and the mechanisms associated with thermoregulation are also described. Interactive exercises enable readers to easily assimilate key concepts and develop a thorough understanding of the topic. Basic Exercise Physiology provides both trainees and professional healthcare staff interested in exercise physiology with a detailed and practically applicable resource on the topic.
