This course will review the significant updates and additions made in the 12th edition of ACSM’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription. We will first review new sections on sex differences, transgender and gender diverse individuals, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, pediatric patients with cardiac conditions, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome. This will be followed by presenting the extensive updates made to the chapters on General Principles of Exercise Prescription as well as Behavioral Theories and Strategies for Promoting Exercise, which reflect contemporary, evidence-based practices. Viewers will also be made aware of updates made to relevant normative data tables, exercise testing, prescription, and monitoring of special populations, in addition to the new section on respiratory muscle testing and training.
