A good basic guide for exercise testing. I had looked at an older edition in our medical library but wanted the most recent version assuming the new would build on the old. Unfortunately this edition has less detailed physiology information than previous versions. I was hoping for more data and normative values, instead I get "how to" information that isn't practical day-to-day.
Good to have in an exercise lab, but not useful as a reference.
I'll have to find a good exercise physiology reference/text for my needs.
Look before you leap, it might not be what you expect.

This is the fourth time I have ordered a new edition. ACSM is the gold standard. Thankfully, this book has the spiral binding. My last one is held together with a binder clip.
