It will be a useful resource as they prepare for a career as an exercise science professional, athletic trainer, coach, or physical educator. The more than 40 labs cover seven major components of physical fitness. They are practical and easy to follow, consisting of a clear, logical format that includes background information, step-by-step procedures, explanatory photographs, sample calculations, norms and classification tables, and worksheets. Lab-ending activities and questions provide additional opportunities to practice the procedures and explore issues of validity, reliability, and accuracy. Readers will find this manual a valuable tool in learning to apply physiological concepts and to perform exercise tests, as well as an essential resource for any career involving physical fitness and performance testing."--Provided by publisher Notes Originally published in 2016 by Holcomb Hathaway Publishers Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Exercise -- Psychological aspects -- Laboratory manuals Exercise tests -- Laboratory manuals Physical fitness -- Testing -- Laboratory manuals MEDICAL -- Physiology.
