| Abstract
|
:
|
A broad introduction to the field of personal training, covering both basic science topics and practical application. Originally designed to help people prepare for the ACSM Personal Training Certification Exam, it serves that function, but the market for it has expanded to practitioners in the field looking for an additional resource, as well as in an academic setting where the book is a core text for personal training programs.
