Clinical Exercise Physiology, Fifth Edition, with HKPropel Access, is a comprehensive guide to the clinical aspects of exercise physiology, investigating 24 chronic diseases and conditions and addressing a variety of populations. The text has been a mainstay in the field since its inception in 2003 and is an ideal resource for students preparing for clinical exercise certifications, including those offered by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM-CEP), American Council on Exercise (Medical Exercise Specialist), Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP-CEP), and Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA-AEP).

The text employs a logical progression of content to provide greater coverage and depth of diseases than is typically found in most clinical exercise physiology textbooks. It examines the effects of exercise on 24 chronic conditions, with each chapter covering the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical considerations, drug and surgical therapies, and exercise testing and prescription issues for the chronic condition. Other chapters are devoted to examining exercise-related issues for four special populations. Each chapter in this fifth edition is revised and updated to include the latest research, clinical guidelines, and position statements from professional organizations. In addition, it incorporates the following new elements:

An upgrade to a full-color layout, for a more engaging learning experience and enhanced presentation of data

New Clinical Exercise Bottom Line sidebars that highlight key information a clinical exercise physiologist needs when working with clinical populations

A new chapter on clinical exercise programming that offers detailed recommendations for clinical populations

A completely revised and updated chapter on exercise testing and prescription

A new chapter on exercise training for special populations, including children, older adults, and individuals with disabilities

A new chapter on exercise and mental health, including the effects of exercise on depression, anxiety, and stress

A new chapter on exercise and cancer, including the effects of exercise on cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship

A new chapter on exercise and cardiovascular disease, including the effects of exercise on blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart rate

A new chapter on exercise and diabetes, including the effects of exercise on blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity

A new chapter on exercise and obesity, including the effects of exercise on weight loss and maintenance

A new chapter on exercise and pregnancy, including the effects of exercise on pregnancy outcomes and maternal health

A new chapter on exercise and aging, including the effects of exercise on aging-related diseases and functional decline

A new chapter on exercise and physical activity promotion, including the development of effective physical activity programs and policies

The text also includes a comprehensive glossary of terms, a list of references, and an index.

In conclusion, Clinical Exercise Physiology, Fifth Edition, with HKPropel Access, is a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the clinical aspects of exercise physiology. It provides greater coverage and depth of diseases than is typically found in most clinical exercise physiology textbooks and is an ideal resource for students preparing for clinical exercise certifications. The text's logical progression of content, full-color layout, Clinical Exercise Bottom Line sidebars, new chapter on clinical exercise programming, revised and updated chapter on exercise testing and prescription, new chapter on exercise training for special populations, new chapter on exercise and mental health, new chapter on exercise and cancer, new chapter on exercise and cardiovascular disease, new chapter on exercise and diabetes, new chapter on exercise and obesity, new chapter on exercise and pregnancy, and new chapter on exercise and aging make it an essential resource for anyone interested in the field of exercise physiology.
