This third edition has a number of changes and additions. First, it includes new norms for all tests based on results from approximately 20,000 participants. These norms are divided into six age groups for each sex. The percent body fat prediction for both men and women now is based on measurement of the same three or four skinfold sites. There are also new workload settings used for the bicycle ergometer testing and a change in the target heart rate range. Added to this edition are new exercises, new topics in the question-and-answer section, supplementary information principles of training and updated listings of Y and outside program resources and requirements for Y professional training, including the new physical fitness instructor certification.
