This fourth edition of ACSM’s Resources for the Personal Trainer represents another step forward from
the previous edition and is based on ACSM’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, Ninth
Edition.
In this fourth edition, the editors and contributors have continued to respond to the needs
of practicing Personal Trainers. This edition has taken the very best from the third edition, provided
significant updates throughout, expanded content on special populations and behavior modification,
and added an entire new chapter on advanced training options. The Behavior Modification
section, which was new in the third edition, has been lengthened considerably and includes many
case study examples. More extensive coverage of guidelines related to special populations as well
as an entire new chapter devoted to advanced training options also help to set this edition apart.
