ACSM's Health-related Physical Fitness Assessment Manual

This new text from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) contains information necessary to develop skills for assessing individual health-related physical fitness.

It provides the reader with a practical "how-to-do-it" approach for performing these assessment skills effectively, and an understanding of the theory behind and the importance of each skill or assessment.

The text covers over 50 assessments of all five health-related components of physical fitness (cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility).

Guidelines are from many sources. Reported errors associated with each test are also given, and a step-by-step instruction of the skills is provided in order for the reader to gain proficiency through practice.

Illustrations and tables supplement the text and enhance learning.
