註釋Editor Dr. Alexios Batrakoulis has brought together 48 of the field’s top researchers and practitioners to build this one-of-a-kind resource. From assessment to application, Obesity and Weight Management: The Exercise Professional’s Guide to Fitness Programming equips practitioners with the knowledge to safely and effectively address client needs and challenges.

The text provides fitness professionals with the tools they need to help more clients with overweight and obesity become successful in getting stronger, fitter, and healthier. Tools such as exercise preparticipation interviews, health history screenings, and a cardiovascular disease risk factor analysis will give readers skills they can immediately implement with clients in the real world.

Readers will encounter the latest information regarding the epidemiology, definition, and classification of overweight and obesity, preparing them to meet larger-bodied clients where they are. The text also explains the role of an exercise professional as a valuable member of a multidisciplinary client health care team. To help practitioners create engaging plans for clients, the book comes with 21 sample workouts and more:

15 warm-up movements
10 movement prep activities
13 warm-up games
87 resistance training exercises
27 balance and coordination exercises
21 cool-down movements and stretches

At the end of the first 12 chapters, readers will find a summary, key points, several multiple-choice recap questions, and short case studies to help them engage deeply with the content. Twelve longer case studies included in chapter 14 provide readers with the opportunity to think practically and evaluate real-life scenarios. Readers will have access to online content, including a section on translating overweight and obesity research into practice, a section on business and marketing strategies, and all the references from the text.

An authoritative resource for exercise professionals, Obesity and Weight Management bridges the gap between research and practice in creating solutions for safe, effective, and personalized fitness journeys.
