Reiman and Manske (physical therapy, Wichita State U.) present this manual of 139 functional tests for assessing human performance in sports, fitness and occupational environments. These tests
are arranged into groups such as anthropometric assessment, muscle length assessment and speed, agility and quickness testing so that therapists and clinicians can choose the correct procedure
in less time. Each section lists the purpose of the test, the equipment needed to perform the test, the correct interpretation of the results and normative data values for comparison. A DVD-ROM
is included that shows live video demonstrations of 40 of the tests. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
