As exercise becomes a cornerstone of more treatment modalities, it's critical that physical therapists and other health care professionals understand how to apply general exercise physiology concepts in clinical settings. Exercise Physiology for Health Care Professionals is an exciting text that provides the essential information to make the important leap from the classroom to the clinic.
The authors–both respected authorities in the field–draw from more than 40 years of combined experience teaching physical therapists and other health care professionals. They present dozens of fascinating case studies that bring the study of exercise physiology to life and provide rich opportunities for instructors and students to work through problems.
Exercise Physiology for Health Care Professionals is unique in its focus on both the healthy and the unhealthy, providing valuable information not available in other exercise physiology texts. Students will learn how to apply the vital principles of exercise physiology to various populations and avoid trial and error once they are in actual clinical settings.
The book's practical problem-solving approach effectively engages the reader in interactive thinking and helps to make the material real and relevant. Exercise Physiology for Health Care Professionals identifies the essential information students need to know in an easy-to-absorb and easy-to-remember format. Features include the following:
-54 case studies help you quickly grasp the many different applications of these concepts.
-Seven chapters cover how various diseases and age affect clinical aspects of exercise physiology.
-Highlighted key terms and concepts reinforce the most critical information.
-Review material summarizes each chapter.
-Glossary and index make it easy to find information.
-Answers to chapter review questions, provided in an appendix, allow students to test their understanding. With strong emphasis on understanding rather than memorizing, this practical text will thoroughly prepare students to problem solve and make sound judgments in situations specific to professional environments.
