Foreword
ACSM’s Resource Manual for Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, first
published in 1988, was developed to be a comprehensive, explanatory companion text
to ACSM’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription. After much consideration
and research, ACSM’s Publications Committee, with the support of ACSM’s
Committee on Certification and Registry Board (CCRB), determined that there was a
need to reenvision the Resource Manual to meet the evolving needs of the field. Out of
this strategic planning, two resources that could be paired with Guidelines in a
classroom setting were developed: this book — ACSM’s Exercise Testing and
Prescription — and another book (ACSM’s Clinical Exercise Physiology).
We couldn’t have selected better editors than the two individuals who led this
project. Madeline Paternostro Bayles and Ann M. Swank brought together leading
experts in the field to present the most accurate and up-to-date information. You’ll find
they have provided the latest scientific information in accordance with the standard set
forth by ACSM’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription.
We hope you will be as pleased as we are with their work and find ACSM’s Exercise
Testing and Prescription, first edition, to be an asset to your toolbox.

Preface
This first edition of ACSM’s Exercise Testing and Prescription is geared toward
undergraduate students studying exercise physiology as well as those seeking ACSM
certifications. This book will be a useful resource for those wishing to translate the
knowledge of exercise into practice. ACSM’s Exercise Testing and Prescription is based
on the most up-to-date information provided in ACSM’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing
and Prescription, 10th edition.
Organization
This book is divided into four separate parts to assist the reader in navigating the deeper
knowledge base within each area. Part I: Physical Activity and Health covers the
description, the recommended amounts, and the benefits of physical activity as well as
the detrimental impact of inactivity. Part II: Preparticipation Screening, Fitness
Assessment, and Interpretation provides the latest of the preparticipation health
screening recommendations and health-related components of fitness (cardiorespiratory
fitness, muscular fitness, body composition, and functional and flexibility assessments).
Part III: Exercise Prescription covers the general principles of exercise prescription
and provides guidelines for three stages that occur across the lifespan (pregnancy,
children and youth, and older adults. Part IV: Exercise Testing and Prescription for
Special Populations refines the exercise testing, prescription, and progression
information for a variety of special populations beyond the content presented in ACSM’s
Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, 10th edition.
Features
Parts I–III emphasize educating the reader regarding a variety of topics important to the
health and fitness practitioner from physical activity to screening to prescription.
Chapters 9–23 include frequency, intensity, time, and type (FITT) tables, which expand
on the FITT principle presented in ACSM’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and
Prescription, 10th edition. Each chapter within Part IV presents a real-world case study
selected specifically for the special population to bridge the gap between science and
practice and also provide contextual framework for practitioners in working with each
of these special populations. Case study questions are integrated throughout these
chapters to guide the reader through assessment and prescription.

Acknowledgments
The authors wish to thank members of the ACSM’s Committee on Certification and
Registry Board (CCRB) for the original concept of this book as well as the ACSM’s
Publications Committee, Greg Dwyer, Jeffrey A. Potteiger, and, in particular, Dierdra
Bycura, for the effort they took to get this diverse publication reviewed. The
hardworking individuals from both these committees are tireless in their efforts to
produce excellent work that represents the ACSM. Thank you to Deb Riebe and
coauthors of ACSM’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, 10th edition
(GETP10) for always accepting my calls and for producing a book of such high
standards and quality which served as a guide in the development of this publication.
Finally, thank you to the individual chapter authors. Thank you for the high-quality
work that we asked you to create and the attention you paid to making sure that this
book is a useful tool for all students and exercise professionals.
Additionally, this publication could not have come to a completion without the
patience (lots of it) and guidance of Katie Feltman, ACSM Chief Content Officer, and
Michael Nobel, WK Executive Editor. Additional gratitude and thanks to Amy
Millholen, WK Senior Product Development Editor; Robin Bushing, Developmental
Editor; and Angela Chastain, ACSM Editorial Assistant; for their enormous display of
patience and hard work in working with Ann and I through this process.
From Madeline Paternostro Bayles: On a personal note, I want to thank my family,
son, and daughter for their support and especially my husband, Bob, to whom I
promised not to say yes to writing anything else. Also, my IUP colleagues who put up
with me during this process. Also, this book is dedicated to the memory of an
extraordinary person and member of the CCRB, Dr. Teresa Connelly Fitts, FACSM —
gone too soon, but an inspiration to all who knew her.
From Ann M. Swank: On a personal note, I would like to thank my family (every
one of them) and my colleagues for helping me through this very worthwhile project. I
am very happy to have this textbook as my last professional activity before retiring. I
would also like to thank the entire staff of ACSM and WK for their patience and strong
work ethics and professionalism in completing this project. It has been worthwhile.
