Advanced Fitness Assessment and Exercise Prescription-6th Edition 6th Edition

love the information

I have found Vivian Heyward's textbook to be an excellent reference tool for personal training, fitness program planning and progression. I had the 5th edition and then purchased the 6th for a Designs for Fitness class. Ms. Heyward's textbook is always used for this class at the University of New Mexico as she was a professor there before retiring. The newest edition is as user-friendly and well-organized as the last. She has made some modifications to some of the norm tables and revised a few of the formulas. She is also including a specific section on balance training as balance is now part of the ACSM recommendations for fitness.I highly recommend this text for exercise training students and professionals.

There are so many citations that it is kind of distracting to read. The information is good, but boring to read.

Love this book! Great information written in an easy to understand way with a logical progression of chapters and topics. This book literally walks you through the process of assessing your client and creating a a fun and effective exercise program for them. It also stresses the importance of building rapport through out your time with your clients to help them learn to enjoy their time exercising and build adherence. This book is a must read for personal trainers.

The book arrived in perfect condition. It also took less time to arrive in Australia than expected.As for the content of the book, it is the 6th Edition. That means that people keep buying it, and so the Authors take the time to keep editing and updating the content. Truly a great book

It came in quickly, and there were no issues with the book, as well as no damage! I saved a LOT of money.

Advanced Fitness Assessment and Exercise Prescriptions is really informative. Some of the information on diabetes is a bit out of date, but that is a constant battle with health and fitness texts. Overall it's worth it.

This was a great book really helped me with my class. The seller didn't take long to ship it out to me. Thank you

very good information
