Published by the American College of Sports Medicine, this Fifth Edition of ACSM’s Resources for the Personal Trainer is the critical content for those seeking to gain ACSM’s Certified Personal Trainer certification, and those currently practicing. This title is now fully aligned to the tenth edition of ACSM’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, and includes the new pre-participation guidelines, which will be critical for those in the personal trainer field. This title continues to recognize the Personal Trainer as a professional in the continuum of creating healthy lifestyles and provides the Personal Trainer with both the tools and scientific evidence to build safe and effective exercise programs for a variety of clients. ACSM’s Resources for the Personal Trainer is the official preparation book for the ACSM Certified Personal TrainerSM examination. Divided into six distinctly different parts, ranging from an introduction to the profession of personal training to how to run a personal training business, ACSM’s Resources for the Personal Trainer provides coverage of anatomy, exercise physiology, biomechanics, behavior modification, and nutrition as well as assessment of strength and flexibility and the development of resistance and cardiorespiratory training programs. The science- and evidence-based approach allows the Personal Trainer to transfer knowledge to their clients effectively. Review: Passed the exam! - Short version: I originally took this exam using the old previous edition.... of course I failed. So, I decided to pay the money and ordered this newer edition. It arrived in excellent condition and was easy to read. I put in hours every day to study from the beginning to the end of the book. I passed with flying colors! Extended version: I would say, the only way it was possible for me to pass this exam was because this book has a scratch off area where it gives you an access code to “thePoint” website. I made an account and bought the 3 month access for the study resources. I ONLY took quizzes and read this book...nothing else. I did not “join a class” like it mentioned. I simply just did quiz after quiz until I reached the highest level. There are 4 domains that you should strive to master. Overtime I really enjoyed reading and quizzing. I liked the challenge. I appreciate that there are reference pages and explanations for each question on the website. The book and this website complimented each other perfectly. Hope this helps. Review: Highly recommended - This book presents a very thorough curriculum for the aspiring personal trainer. Easy to follow and has several chapters on running a business. Recommended reading!

Great condition
I can't believe this was only $8. It feels like such a win. There are a few highlighted parts, but the person seemed good at studying! Amazing condition for the price, thank you so much.

Informative, Learned a Lot, Very Dry
I understand it's a text, but man, they could've at least tried to make it sound more interesting. However, this is the Gold standard of any personal training text and it shows. I learned more reading this book than I did with any other college or personal training course and I often use it as a reference for my fitness blog. Highly recommended work from a highly recommended personal training organization.

Risorsa fondamentale per i Personal Trainer
L'ho comprato per potere sostenere l'esame ACSM. In 600 pagine sono racchiusi i concetti che si imparano in Scienze Motorie, ovviamente molto sintetizzati.

Material is difficult to grasp if reading it for the first time or do not have medical background
Contains lots of medical terminology but very less examples & pictures for anatomy e.g. types of joints & their movement
