ACSM’s Exercise Management for Persons with Chronic Diseases and Disabilities, 2nd Edition, helps readers to prescribe exercise testing and programming for clients, especially those coping with multiple conditions; stay informed of the latest developments related to chronic diseases and disabilities; parlay specific symptoms of a disease or disability into an effective exercise testing or programming prescription; and stay current on the latest drugs used to treat chronic diseases and disabilities.
The book emphasizes practical application rather than scientific theory. It provides valuable coverage of fibromyalgia, lower-limb amputation, liver failure, and pulmonary diseases, and an entirely new section that includes chronic obstructive and restrictive pulmonary diseases, asthma, and lung and heart-lung transplantation. Each chapter is written by an expert in his or her field and contains a real-life case report featuring real people’s symptoms, medical histories, lab results and exercise test scores, and actual exercise programming and follow-up information.
