This book bridges the gap between research and practice for fitness professionals. The seventh edition of Advanced Fitness Assessment and Exercise Prescription, provides a comprehensive approach to physical fitness appraisal and exercise prescription.

The accompanying online videos enhance the learning experience and teach the techniques necessary for conducting fitness testing and programme design. More than 40 clips featuring common exercise assessments will help users learn essentials of fitness testing, such as calibration of blood pressure cuffs, functional movement assessment and push-up and pull-up testing.
