ACSM's Health-Related Physical Fitness Assessment Manual Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This new text from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) contains information necessary to develop skills for assessing an individual's health-related physical fitness. It provides the reader with a practical "how-to-do-it" approach for performing these assessment skills effectively, and an understanding of the theory behind and the importance of each skill or assessment. Reported errors associated with each test are also given, and a step-by-step instruction of the skills is provided in order for the reader to gain proficiency through practice. Illustrations and tables supplement the text and enhance learning.

Book News Annotation:

Dwyer and Davis, both affiliated with the Department of Movement Studies and Exercise Science at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania, offer a practical guide for assessing an individual's physical fitness levels. Step-by-step instructions and two-color illustrations guide readers in the practice of performing some 50 standard assessments across five major health-related physical fitness components: cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility. Practice problems and solutions are included.
