Riassunto

The authors of this work present a simplified approach to the ACSM metabolic equations that can cause problems for students and certification candidates. They explain their proven technique and provide practice problems. Material on related ACSM mathematics is also explained, including calculating a target heart rate prescription and maximal oxygen consumption from a submaximal bike test. An appendix outlines the derivation of both the ACSM formulas and the simplified versions from the authors.

Product Description

At last here's a simplified version of the ACSM metabolic equations and an easier way to solve them. Drs. Swain and Leutholtz provide straightforward formulas for figuring the caloric expenditure, or oxygen consumption during walking, running, stationary cycling, and bench stepping. This handy reference also shows how to apply the equations to other pieces of exercise equipment, calculate heart rate prescriptions, and estimate maximal oxygen consumption from exercise tests. In addition to simplifying difficult math problems without sacrificing the underlying content of the equations or the accuracy of their answers, the authors reinforce their formulas with many sample problems and case studies.
