Biomechanical analysis of the musculoskeletal structure for medicine and sports Book

For someone like myself planning to take the Personal Trainer exam from ACSM this spring, the book was a good introduction to what would be covered. However, there is a bit of a line in the Appendix that indicates that what is provided in the book is not sufficient if you are serious about taking the exam. For the exam, you need to be proficient in the KSA's listed in the back, that is, the knowledge, skills and activities required for personal training as designated by the ACSM. So although I'll pour through the book again prior to sitting for the exam, it will be up to me to delve more deeply into the KSAs by focusing on other resources, some published through ACSM, some from other publishers.

Nevertheless, this is a very good book if you want to gain an overall introduction to the field and to the rudiments of exercise physiology. A great jumping off point, so to speak.
