- A new chapter on how to combine assessment results with a client’s health status and personal goals to create a comprehensive exercise program
- Expanded content on working with clients who are pregnant, covering the benefits of exercise during and after pregnancy; application of a new prescreening tool; contraindications and signs that warrant stopping exercise; and new content on pelvic floor training
- Updated content on chronic diseases, featuring the latest information on cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and cancer
Additional new information includes two new muscular fitness tests; an expanded section on pharmacology that covers major drug categories and offers insights into how medications can affect heart rate, blood pressure, and physiological responses to exercise; and coverage of neuromotor fitness.
