Overview

This software package, comprising a manual and disk, provides a simple approach to learning metabolic calculations associated with exercise and fitness. It features more than 60 metabolic calculation routines for many fitness test protocols used in assessment and programming. On-screen nomograms and graphs help users determine test results and interpret data quickly. The software also includes a tutorial section which guides users through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) fundamentals of metabolic calculations. The package is designed to be of use to health and fitness technologists and instructors. It should also be useful to candidates preparing for the ACSM certificate, and can be used as a supplementary resource for exercise physiology and exercise test technology courses.

Author Information

Nelson K. Ng is a professor of physical education and director of the Kinesiology Lab at Slippery Rock University in Slippery Rock, PA. During his more than 20 years as a college instructor, Ng has specialized primarily in exercise science and has taught courses in anatomy, exercise physiology, and biomechanics. He has also spent most of his career working with computers and programming and developing applications for them in exercise science. One of his most noteworthy contributions is his development and programming of interactive video courseware for the I'M SPECIAL Adapted Physical Education Interactive Videodisk Project, a venture that received the 1991 Southern Educational Communications Association Special Recognition Award for Technology Programming and the 1993 Institute of Creative Research and the Sport Art Academy NASPE Best Video Contest Award. Ng earned his EdD from the University of Northern Colorado in 1980. Not only has he written numerous papers on the application of technology in physical education, he has also delivered many presentations on the subject at the state, national, and international levels. Ng is a member of the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. In addition, he is a coauthor of the book Personal Fitness (Second Edition).
