Review :
“The fifth edition of Clinical Exercise Physiology is the ideal resource for students, clinicians, and researchers. With the growth and advancement of the profession, it is paramount for clinical exercise physiologists to remain up to date with the vast array of health conditions and special considerations needed for quality patient care. The text illustrates evidence-based guidelines, normal and abnormal responses to physical activity, assessments, exercise prescriptions, and clinical case studies. The information is comprehensive, and the text is a much-needed key resource for safe and effective implementation of clinical exercise physiology.” -Laura A. Richardson, PhD, RCEP, FACSM, Past President of the Clinical Exercise Physiology Association (CEPA) “Clinical Exercise Physiology, Fifth Edition, is a valuable resource for candidates pursuing the CSEP Clinical Exercise Physiologist™ certification. It provides scientific, evidence-based information that ensures clinical exercise physiologists have the knowledge they need to understand and treat common clinical issues with exercise.” -Kirstin Lane, PhD, CSEP-CEP “The Clinical Exercise Physiology text is essential for any student worldwide looking for a career as an accredited exercise physiologist. It has the latest evidence regarding the effects of exercise on chronic diseases. The breadth and depth of the text ensure exercise physiologists have the core knowledge required to treat most conditions practitioners will encounter in the real world.” -Anita Hobson-Powell, former Chief Executive Officer of Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) “Clinical Exercise Physiology, Fifth Edition, is a comprehensive guide to the clinical aspects of exercise physiology. It is a great resource for students as well as for U.K. clinical exercise physiologists registered by the Registration Council for Clinical Physiologists(RCCP).” -Ian Wilson, Executive Director of the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) “This comprehensive, insightful, and evidence-based guide for the assessment and management of chronic diseases is perfectly suitable for the training or continuous professional development of a biokineticist.” -Jacolene Kroff, Director of Education and Training for the Biokinetics Association of South Africa “Clinical Exercise Physiology, Fifth Edition, is a thorough guide and great resource for students working towards accreditation as Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) with Sport and Exercise Science New Zealand (SESNZ).” -Glynis Longhurst, Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) and academic committee member, of Sport & Exercise Science New Zealand (SESNZ) “Both students and instructors are exposed to actual case studies, meaningful discussions, and up-to-date information that provides the knowledge and skills assessed in the ACSM clinical exercise physiologist examination.” -© Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Zacharias Papadakis, PhD, Barry University (4-star review)
