ACSM's Metabolic Calculations Handbook (American College of Sports Medicine)

The explanations in this book were easy to understand and really helped fill in the gaps that I was missing from my college lectures. The book also contained lots of practice problems which helped me pass the ACSM EP-C exam with full confidence in the metabolic equation sections. I would definitely recommend this book for any exercise science students or those studying for the ACSM exam.

This little book's pretty powerful. It's a great reference as well as a tool to go back to, to calculate percentages, kcal expenditure as well as other energy consumption determinants, especially when I prescribe my exercise prescriptions to patients. A recommend for the Sport and Exercise Physiology students, professors and professionals.

It has been a helpful book

If you are a candidate for the ACSM CES or RCEP this book is a must. I have taken both exams successfully and the other exam prep books will not cover the information needed to get the problems correct, unless you are a student just out of your undergraduate or masters program.

This book is good for a review of the metabolic equations and how to solve for each of the variables. However, it is poorly proofed and full of errors. Seeing as this book deals primarily with calculations you would think they would pay closer attention to detail, not is this case. Many of the answers are incorrect and/or the decimals are rounded incorrectly. So, if you need a refresher on how to solve for different variables this is a decent book but trust your math and do not get overly frustrated if your answers vary from those in the book. I would, however, recommend checking your own work just to make sure you have done it correctly.On a more positive note, this book does provide plenty of practice tables and does walk you through each of the questions demonstrating the proper way to set them up and solve.

It’s really helpful for preparing for the Certified exercise physiologist exam through ACSM!!

Lo compré nuevo y ha llegado que parece de tercera mano y sinceramente para el precio que tiene me parece inconcebible...

I found it very helpful to understand in depth the equations. Don't need to be a math big fan to work it out
