"It is perfect for introducing students to health and fitness assessment and as a refresher for those who are in the field and need up-to-date guidelines." "This book is unique in that it is focused specifically on health and fitness principles and techniques that have been set forth by the ACSM. It is clear and concise while containing numerous figures and diagrams to illuminate key points and difficult concepts.""This book is of similar quality to other ACSM publications. The contributors are among the field's most respected scientists. I recommend this book for those thinking about working in a health and fitness field but who haven't had much exposure to fitness testing."
