·         strength and conditioning
·         injury prevention and management
·         health promotion and research.
 
Designed to assist vocational students, the text incorporates:
 
·         full-colour text, tables, images and illustrations to clearly explain concepts
·         objectives in each chapter that outline the key topics to be covered and help focus attention on key facts
·         break-out boxes and margin notes to help students understand important concepts
·         Workout exercises to enable consolidation of what has been learnt in each chapter
·         Fitness in practice vignettes that share ‘real-life’ experiences from the perspective of two specialised exercise trainers and show real-world application of concepts
·         case studies that provide an opportunity for students to apply their knowledge to practical and real-world scenarios
