ACE ESSENTIALS OF EXERCISE SCIENCE FOR FITNESS PROFESSIONALS Whether you are preparing to become an ACE-certified Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, or Lifestyle & Weight management Consultant, this textbook provides the foundational knowledge you will need before moving on to study the materials specific to your chosen certification. ACE's Essentials of Exercise Science for Fitness Professionals was not designed as a comprehensive textbook on the topic of exercise science. Instead, the American Council on Exercise has focused in on the topics and level of expertise that aspiring fitness professionals need to successfully launch their careers. This is a resource that you will be pulling off your office bookshelf for years to come. Each of the five chapters includes a Study Guide that will help you identify areas that require additional study time and more focused attention. In addition, multiple choice questions are included that mirror the style and types of questions that are included on the ACE certification exams
