Advanced Fitness Assessment and Exercise Prescription, Ninth Edition Online CE Course, is fully updated with the latest research, the newest exercise testing and prescription guidelines, and the most up-to-date programming content.

The course reflects the most recent exercise testing and prescription guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), along with physical activity recommendations from the U.S. government and American Heart Association. It highlights ACSM guidelines for physical activity and exercise testing requirements to consider before beginning exercise programs. Combining important research with practical application of testing and prescription protocols, the ninth edition of the course ebook also features the following:
  • A new full-color interior to provide more detail and understanding of concepts through photos and figures
  • New step-by-step assessment sidebars that make it easy to locate and refer to assessment procedures
  • Modern guidelines for usage of current technology to test and monitor physical activity
  • Demonstrations of many of the assessments and exercises, provided in 73 video clips
Structured around the five physical fitness components—cardiorespiratory capacity, muscular fitness, body composition, flexibility, and balance—the text begins with an overview of physical activity, health, and chronic disease, including discussion of preliminary health screenings and risk classification. You will gain insight into field and laboratory assessments and testing protocols for each component, along with detailed information on properly administering the most common assessments. The accompanying 73 video clips provide detailed instruction and demonstration for performing many of the assessments and exercises; these include functional movement assessment, pull-up and push-up testing, flywheel training, and more.

Finally, turn research into practice by understanding how to design personalized exercise prescription, customized for each client based on individual assessment outcomes. Information on appropriate training methods and programming considerations are presented for each component of fitness.

The study guide includes learning activities, along with an answer key, to help you prepare for the course exam. Once you complete the course and pass the exam, you can print a certificate for continuing education credits.
