Reviews
“Readers should recognize that there are likely to be differences of opinion on many of the topics presented throughout this book. Nonetheless, it is hoped that this text will help assist exercise physiologists in understanding the ethical and professional implications of the exercise physiology practice, as well as the rightful place that exercise prescription has in the prevention and rehabilitative use of exercise as medicine.” - Lonnie M. Lowery, PhD, MA, MS, RD, LD, ASEP President, 2007-2008, Assistant Professor, School of Family and Consumer Sciences, The University of Akron
“Dr. Boone is an exemplary teacher and mentor to all exercise physiology students. His book is outstanding and very thorough. In the end, he tells the hard truths that ground exercise physiology in the reality of healthcare. It engenders hope because it shows there are paths for each one of us. I recommend it to all exercise physiologists, particularly those who are college teachers.” - Mr. John Dargan, M.A., E.P.C., Board Certified Exercise Physiologist, Assistant Professor of Exercise Physiology, Department of Exercise Physiology, The College of St. Scholastica
“Dr. Boone's book is designed to assist students and exercise physiologists to conceptualize and clarify exercise physiology as a profession. ... His arguments for decision-making on behalf of exercise physiology as a healthcare profession and exercise as medicine make sense. This book is right on track with the professional developments in exercise physiology.” - Shane Paulson, M.A., E.P.C., Board Certified Exercise Physiologist, Director, Department of Exercise Physiology, Wellness Program Director, Community Memorial Homes
