This edition lacks a major plus that was in the sixth edition. If your taking this for the HFS or CES the sixth edition would tell you in each section what you had to study for but the current edition does not. This is why people want these texts not as a desk references that ACSM seems to think. VERY DISAPPOINTED. ACSM loves to just confuse you. I remember years ago taking the CPT and they list all these books to buy but don't make one simple guide on what exactly you should sift through in the myriad of texts and chapters. Also don't waste your $ getting the "resources" books for either HFS or CPT they also are the definitive text for the certification. I did learn from a friend who took the HFS recently said he just used the sixth edition of this book with what was bolded and passed. This is exactly why if I know someone who wants to get at least a CPT I tell them to go NSCA. At least you know what your main text is!
Articles in this book are sequenced by topic to match the sequence of the Guidelines book. They offer much more detail-- especially useful for PFT students who are training ourselves and missing out on classroom lectures. Well worth the money as both a study aid and long-term reference.
Great text full of good info...just wasn't what I was supposed to order! I ordered this by mistake, and should have ordered "Guidelines for exercise testing and prescription" not the "resource manual for guidelines for exercise testing and prescription"...who knew??
Much better organized than previous issues.
Everything it says it is!
Great book Thanks!
