We've all heard the mantra, "exercise for good health." In fact,
exercise, or lack of it, may be the most important factor in
avoiding, or surviving and recovering from, the top three killers
across developed countries--heart disease, cancer, and stroke. But
few of us understand exactly how different forms of exercise
work--physiologically speaking--to keep us healthy and prevent or
treat disease. Here, two nationally known exercise experts lead a
stellar team explaining, in reader-friendly terms, what exercise
does to our bodies and how it spurs beneficial biological actions.
In addition to explaining how and why exercise powers us and
promotes longer life, Understanding Fitness includes a review of
social factors affecting exercise. Exercise for specific
conditions--from arthritis to cancer, diabetes, fibromyalgia, and
osteoporosis, is also addressed.
