Practical Math for Health Fitness Professionals also explains how to complete the metabolic equations that are included on ACSM certification exams. The book covers the energy cost of level walking, the energy cost of uphill walking, oxygen consumption during running, metabolic equations for cycle and arm ergometers, calculations for bench stepping, submaximal exercise testing, and math for nutritional subjects. Practical Math for Health Fitness Professionals is an excellent reference for practicing fitness specialists, exercise physiologists, and students seeking certification as fitness professionals. It will help even the most math-phobic individuals overcome their fears and gain a new, in-depth understanding of exercise physiology math.
