Acsm's Metabolic Calculations Tutorial Cd-Rom (2001, CD-ROM)

Now you can learn the principles and processes of metabolic calculations with help from ACSM--in a convenient CD-ROM format. This CD-ROM gives you the power to solve problems using ACSM metabolic equations, learn the fundamentals of estimating energy requirements during exercise, determine outcome measures for common tests used in physical fitness practice. Based on ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, the program contains two learning modules. Module one covers Basic Algebra Principles, Basic Energy Expenditures Principles, and ACSM Metabolic Equations Fundamentals. The second module contains an interactive quiz and advanced applications. These features shorten the learning curve and help you retain more: 20-plus animations for a better understanding of fundamentals, explanations and feedback for correct AND incorrect answers so the learning process continues through the self-assessment, links for quick access to key information from the sections on Basic Algebra, Basic Principles and Limitations, handy pop-up calculator for solving equations, and a glossary for reviewing key terms related to metabolic calculations. System requirements: Windows 95, Pentium 60 mHz, 8 MB (memory), RAM 2X CD-ROM, more than 5 MB free hard disk space.
