This book provides a unique and succinct account of the history of
health and fitness, responding to the growing recognition of
physicians, policy makers and the general public that exercise is
the most potent form of medicine available to humankind. Individual
chapters present information extending from the earliest reaches of
human history to the present day, arranged in the form of 30
thematic essays covering topics from the supposed idyll of the
hunter-gatherer lifestyle and its posited health benefits to the
evolution of health professionals and the possible contribution of
the Olympic movement to health and fitness in our current society.
Learning objectives are set for each topic, and although technical
language is avoided as far as possible, a thorough glossary
explains any specialized terms that are introduced in each chapter.
The critical thinking of the reader is stimulated by a range of
questions arising from the text context, and each chapter concludes
with a brief discussion of some of the more important implications
for public policies on health and fitness today and into the
future. The material will be of particular interest to graduate and
undergraduate students in public health, health promotion, health
policy, kinesiology, physical education, but will be of interest
also to many studying medicine, history and sociology.
