内容説明
This second edition of the "Health Fitness Instructor's Handbook" has even more comprehensive and up-to-date information for health and fitness professionals who want to keep abreast of the advances in physical fitness. It includes not only complete coverage of the competencies required for the 1991 ACSM certification, but also complete information about the fundamentals of fitness, exercise physiology, and biomechanics, as well as guidelines for developing safe fitness programs. Well-known authors Howley and Franks have added important new features to this second edition, including new chapters on measurement and evaluation, nutrition, and computer software; greater coverage of programme leadership, stress management, and cardiac medications; more case studies for analysis; 200 new figures; current references for health / fitness professionals; 1991 ACSM objectives for Health / Fitness Instructor and Exercise Leader certification; and a new format that lists objectives and defines key terms at the beginning of each chapter and includes more examples of calculations and problems.
Professionals such as ACSM, AFAA, and ACE instructors should find all the information they need in the "Health Fitness Instructor's Handbook". "Health Fitness Instructor's Handbook" makes an excellent text for college courses that prepare students to become health fitness instructors. Instructors preparing for ACSM, AFAA, or ACE certification - or any other fitness instructor certification - can use this handbook as a study tool. Supervisors of fitness programmes in commercial fitness centres, the workplace, YMCAs, and universities should find this handbook to be a useful reference. And, it provides a review for the thousands who are already certified as instructors or leaders.
