Concepts in Fitness Programming: Exercise Physiology

Robert G. McMurray

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 dec 1998

Concepts in Fitness Programming presents comprehensive material about various aspects of exercise testing and prescription in a simple, straightforward manner. Intended for individuals who design exercise and fitness programs but who lack extensive background in fitness training, this book provides a wealth of knowledge beyond the basic "how to's" of fitness programming. Exercisers require some background in fitness and exercise-related injuries and nutrition. For safety, exerciser and instructor need to know the medical problems that limit exercise capacity or eliminate someone from safely exercising, and how drugs used for medical problems influence exercise. Background in medical terminology and the interrelationships of disease and exercise are useful for understanding exercise literature.

Descriere

Concepts in Fitness Programming presents comprehensive material about various aspects of exercise testing and prescription in a simple, straightforward manner. Intended for individuals who design exercise and fitness programs but who lack extensive background in fitness training, it presents a summary of exercise physiology and examines fitness assessment and program issues, including screening potential participants, fitness testing, developing safe exercise prescriptions, fitness equipment, and motivation. It also considers the issues of nutrition, weight control, cardiovascular disease, and stress management and discusses medical and legal implications, including exercising diseased populations, injuries, medications, and liability issues of which fitness instructors must be cognizant.
