ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription

This is the eleventh edition of the American College of Sports Medicine's guidelines for exercise testing and prescription. It provides comprehensive information on exercise testing procedures, including indications, contraindications, and interpretations, as well as guidelines for exercise prescription across various populations and health conditions. Specific chapters cover cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular fitness, body composition, and exercise programming for special populations such as older adults, individuals with chronic diseases (e.g., diabetes, heart failure, Parkinson's disease), and those with disabilities (e.g., spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy). This book also explores theoretical frameworks for understanding exercise behavior and strategies to promote adherence.

Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning

"Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning" is a reference book for the NSCA-CSCS certification. It's a comprehensive guide to the science and application of strength training. It covers the physiological basis of exercise, including musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, cardiovascular, and respiratory system function, biomechanics of resistance exercise, and energy systems. This book also details program design principles for various training goals (strength, power, hypertrophy, endurance), hormonal responses to training, and considerations for different populations (children, older adults, women). Finally, it addresses facility design, legal issues, and nutritional guidelines for optimal athletic performance.
