"The ACSM's Clinical Exercise Physiology is positioned to be the primary text for Clinical Exercise Physiology courses. This will fill a hole in our Exercise Science curriculum offering. The bulk of the text will cover those chronic conditions a Clinical Exercise Physiologist will likely encounter - from a host of cardiovascular disorders to immunological/hematological disorders. The text is organized so that each chapter focuses on a disease type and then drills down to specific diseases. So the respiratory chapter will include sections on COPD, CF and asthma; the chapter on the endocrine and metabolic will cover obesity, hypertension, diabetes, etc. These conditions chapters are supported by chapters that cover considerations across the lifespan, special considerations on comorbidities, legal considerations, as well as a host of foundational elements such as screening, pharmacology, and electrocardiography. These conditions/considerations balance will make this both an excellent and necessary educational resource to fully comprehend the scope of clinical exercise physiology, but also an indispensable reference once students have graduated and moved on to practice"-- Provided by publisher.
