The second edition of ACSM’s Clinical Exercise Physiology, which reflects the unmatched quality and excellence synonymous with the American College of Sports Medicine, offers an evidence-based approach to exercise as intervention for over 35 conditions commonly encountered in practice, ranging from a variety of cardiovascular disorders to immunological/hematological disorders.

A comprehensive understanding of clinical exercise physiology is ensured by additional coverage of significant considerations and foundational elements, such as screening, pharmacology, and electrocardiography. Condition chapters are logically organized by disease types and divided into sections that cover specific conditions from a pathological and etiological perspective.

Completely compliant with the 11th edition of the ACSM Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, and completely revised with fresh information and educational resources, this second edition offers complete assistance for acing advanced undergraduate or graduate clinical exercise physiology classes and the ACSM’s Clinical Exercise Physiology certification test.
