- Frequency, intensity, time, and type (FITT) tables, which expand on the FITT principle presented in ACSM’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription.
- Real-world case studies selected specifically for the special population to bridge the gap between science and practice.
- Integrated case study questions to guide the reader through assessment and prescription.
- Additional resources – see this sample video for more.
