This book is designed to meet three needs:
1) to be a resource for the instructor teaching exercise physiology and exercise testing laboratories.
2) to complement the application of the ACSM’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription (ACSM, 2022) manual.
3) to introduce students to testing diversity.
Naturally, ACSM is based on clinical themes, but this text offers additional ideologies to expand the testing variations for each component of health-related fitness. The first chapter is designed to introduce students to the laboratory in general, foundational equipment, how to screen for testing, and basic skill development in testing. Each chapter thereafter focuses upon a different component of health-related fitness. The cardiovascular component is spread across two chapters to enable more instructional time on sub-maximal and maximal protocols, separately.
