Well, after managing to complete several publication deadlines, summer projects and getting ready for a new semester “a week” has turned into more than a month since my last post. I have to get better at this!!

On the bright side, and among one of my “summer projects”, I’ve started to publish a new daily digest of health & fitness information. Check it out, and subscribe; you’ll get new health & fitness information in your mailbox everyday!

Okay, so let’s get to the post.  As I mentioned, I wanted to discuss one of most significant changes to the American College of Sports Medicine’s (ACSM) Guidelines for Exercise Testing & Prescription.

As described in my last post, ACSM completed several changes to the new edition of the Guidelines; however, their most significant change occurred in the screening of individuals participating in exercise programs.  Specially those who are considered to be high risk!
