Also quite expensive, but a fantastic book with great pictorial illustration. Review: Great book very poor page quality - The book itself contains great information especially regarding the NASM qualifications however the quality of the book really lets itself down. The pages feel like they are likely to rip and must be handled with total care. The reason it only gets three stars is I donโt think this book will last to long even in the most careful of hands.

Great book to support the study of Rehabilitation Science/Sports Science... a US text though as not many UK texts of this ilk (recommended reading text though). Also quite expensive, but a fantastic book with great pictorial illustration.

Useless
This book is a study guide only, it's only relevant if you have all the course literature and guides. I didn't so it is completely useless!

Great information structure.
If you intend on becoming a personal trainer through NASM, donโt buy this book from anyone other than NASM BECAUSE NASM forces you to buy it anyways apart of your expenses. Great book.

Will get me passed
Very pleasant to read. Sometimes I feel that the pages are so fragile that I will rip them when I turn page but after all, it's a book so what can you expect. Also a big fan of the few pages of buisness related content!

Fast Shipping. The corner of the book was damaged and looked a little banged up, but other than that good buy!
