Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Comprehensive
I am a PTA (physical therapist assistant) student and also a personal trainer and group exercise instructor. I bought this book because it looked very interesting and helpful for all three. I was thrilled to get it, there is so much information, all research-backed. An added bonus is that it is on my book list for next quarter. I've also recently learned that one of the authors, Carol Kisner, is often quoted for her cutting edge research. So while I haven't read the book cover to cover yet, it looks very good. It is important to know that information on exercise - therapeutic or otherwise is backed by current research - you don't want to pass on ineffective or dangerous techniques to your clients, patients, students or anyone else who puts their trust in you.
Rating: - One of my best buys !
I have purchased this exellent grand text that deals with the field of physical-therapy. I consider this book to be a total value of my money at the price I bought it (49$). I appreciate it's background coverage & focus on evidence additions.
As a physical-therapy student I clearly recommend this reference from the very start. I bought it a bit late (4th year).
If one Should seek a more in-depth coverage in the exercise physiology department, I recommend the following book, which is user friendly:
Exercise Physiology: Human Bioenergetics and Its Applications
Rating:  - Could be useful
So far, it has not been that useful in school but the book is full of a lot of information that should be very useful in the clinic.
