Physical Activity and Health explains clearly, systematically and
in detail the relationships between physical activity, health and
disease, and examines the benefits of exercise in the prevention
and treatment of a wide range of important conditions. Now in a
fully updated and revised edition, and still the most complete and
engaging textbook on this important subject, Physical Activity and
Health offers a balanced examination of the very latest evidence
linking levels of physical activity with disease and mortality. It
offers a wide-ranging assessment of the importance of inactivity as
a factor in major diseases and health conditions such as
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer and osteoporosis.
The book is designed to help the reader evaluate the quality and
significance of the scientific evidence, and includes an invaluable
discussion of common study designs and the inherent difficulties of
measuring physical activity. It also explores the full range of
contemporary themes in the study of exercise and health, such as
the hazards of exercise; exercise and the elderly; children's
health and exercise; physical activity and public health policy;
and a critical appraisal of current recommendations for physical
activity. Containing useful features throughout, such as chapter
summaries, study tasks, guides to supplementary reading and
definitions of key terms, and richly illustrated with supporting
tables, figures and plates, Physical Activity and Health is an
essential course text. Now supported by a companion website
featuring self-test questions, PowerPoint slides for lecturers,
additional learning activities and web links, this book is vital
reading for degree-level students of sport and exercise science,
public health, physical therapy, medicine and nursing. Visit the
