Advanced Fitness Assessment and Exercise Prescription will assist exercise science students and practitioners in bridging the gap between research and practice. Built around physical fitness components, this text shows readers first how to assess each component and then how to design exercise programs based on that assessment.
Advanced Fitness Assessment and Exercise Prescription synthesizes concepts and theories from exercise physiology, kinesiology, measurement, psychology, and nutrition to provide a clearly defined approach to physical fitness testing and the design of individualized exercise programs. Unlike other introductory texts, which typically focus on field testing for evaluating physical fitness, this text includes both field and laboratory assessment techniques. This user-friendly text offers the latest physical activity and exercise recommendations for health benefits, weight loss, and weight maintenance as well as practical guidelines for designing individualized exercise programs for your clients. Readers will find the latest information on maximal and submaximal graded exercise testing in healthy populations, muscular fitness testing protocols and norms for children and adults, and field tests and norms for evaluating cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular fitness, body composition, flexibility, and balance.

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.

Unique in its scope and depth is a guide to assist exercise students and practitioners alike in bridging the gap between the latest exercise research and its applications. It's been updated throughout, includes details from the 2010 edition of ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise testing and Prescription, and uses the latest new techniques, from GPS to interactive video games, to change exercise behavior and promote fitness. College-level fitness libraries and any serious sports collection should have this in-depth reference.
