The second edition of the landmark text published in 1997 includes eight new conditions and features updated information, current research, and the latest scientific developments to help you :

• prescribe exercise programming and testing for clients, especially those coping with multiple conditions;
• keep informed of the latest developments related to chronic diseases and disabilities;
• apply exercise programming in your day-to-day practice;
• parlay specific symptoms of a disease or disability into an effective exercise testing or programming prescription; and
• stay current on the latest drugs used to treat chronic diseases and disabilities.

You'll find valuable, new coverage of fibromyalgia, lower-limb amputation, liver failure, and pulmonary diseases, including chronic obstructive and chronic restrictive pulmonary disease, asthma, and lung and heart-lung transplantation.

Each chapter is written by an expert in his or her field and contains a real-life case report featuring real people's symptoms, medical histories, lab results and exercise test scores, and actual exercise programming and follow-up information.

The reference includes guidance on multiple chronic diseases and additional information about exercise programming, including considerations regarding physical activity for youth.

Practitioners will appreciate the expanded list of medications-it includes more classes of commonly used drugs, an expanded table listing the effects of cardiovascular and respiratory drugs on the exercise response and exercise capacity, and a new table listing the effects of non cardiovascular and non respiratory drugs. In addition, the book presents a new listing of Web site resources grouped by the disease or disability featured on the site.

If you have a strong working knowledge of exercise science, there is no better source of simple clinical recommendations for establishing a successful exercise management program for persons with chronic diseases and disabilities.
