Clinical Exercise Physiology (häftad, eng)

Clinical Exercise Physiology, Sixth Edition, is a comprehensive guide to the clinical aspects of exercise physiology, providing in-depth coverage of 32 chronic diseases and conditions and addressing a variety of populations. The sixth edition continues a legacy that began with the first edition in 2003.

It is an ideal resource for students preparing for clinical exercise certifications, including those offered by American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM-CEP), American Council on Exercise (Medical Exercise Specialist), Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP-CEP), Chartered Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (CASES Exercise Science Certified Practitioner), and Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA AEP).

Clinical Exercise Physiology, Sixth Edition, employs a full-color layout and a logical progression of content to provide greater coverage and depth of diseases than is found in other clinical exercise physiology textsIt examines the effects of exercise on 32 chronic diseases and conditions, covering the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical considerations, drug and surgical therapies, and exercise testing and prescription issues for them. One of its many strengths lies in its treatment of comorbidities, addressing how one condition may affect others.

Plus, specific chapters are devoted to examining exercise-related issues for four special populations.

Each chapter in this sixth edition is revised and updated to include the latest research, clinical guidelines, and position statements from professional organizationsIn addition, it incorporates the following new elements:

• A new chapter on exercise and immunity helps readers understand the effects of exercise on prevention of and rehabilitation from respiratory tract infections, including COVID-19 and long COVID.
• A new chapter on electrocardiogram (ECG) tests helps clinical exercise physiologists interpret results and review abnormalities that suggest disease.
• The Index of Common Questions points to the corresponding chapter where each of those topics is covered, helping readers to quickly access the information.

In addition to sidebars throughout the text that emphasize critical information and practical application, the sixth edition also has online tools to support student learning.

More than 60 case studies are presented in a SOAP note format so students can explore clinical evaluations, looking closely at subjective and objective data, assessments, and plans. Discussion questions and interactive key term flash cards foster better understanding and retention.

Endorsed by CEPA, CASES (formerly BASES), CEP-UP, BASA, and ESSA, Clinical Exercise Physiology, Sixth Edition, offers a contemporary review of the variety of diseases and conditions that students and professionals may encounter in the fieldNew and veteran clinical exercise physiologists, as well as those preparing for clinical exercise certification exams, will appreciate the in-depth coverage of the clinical populations that benefit from physical activity.
