Prescribed Exercise (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781493783472)

To understand the details of exercise science, to know how to prescribe exercise and the extent to which it may affect a particular individual, requires a formal understanding of the fundamentals. This is true of any discipline, as a person must come to grasp Newtonian laws if he or she wishes to apply physics in the practical world. Consequently, there is a direct connection between theory and practice, whereby the principles of exercise help a person direct practical application in the gym. There may be a saying that "it sounds good in theory, but not in practice," but that is hogwash. If practical application contradicts theoretical principles, then those principles need to be rewritten. If the principles are sound, as they are in this book, then they will form the foundation for everything you do.
