ACSM’s Resources for the Exercise Physiologist Second Edition By American College of Sports Medicine DESCRIPTION Published by the American College of Sports Medicine, this new edi- tion is essential for certification candidates and practicing Exercise Physiologists. As the official preparation book for the ACSM Certified Exercise Physiologist examination, the title will guide those seeking certification as they prepare to sit for the exam. For those already prac- ticing, this evidence-based resource will aid in providing the most cur- rent, competent guidance to clients. Now fully aligned with the tenth edition of ACSM’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription,

this second edition is reflective of the most current standards in the field. These updates include moving to the new pre-participation guidelines, which represent an important and significant change in the prescription of an exercise program.
