Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Physical Activity and Health: An Interactive Approach focuses on the interconnectedness of health and being physically active. The two cannot be separated, and every chapter and section is designed to reinforce how physical activity and health are indeed intertwined. This is not a fitness book in the traditional sense. The unique interactive approach makes self-responsibility a central theme of the book, arming students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become independent and active. This interactive approach is also supported by a fully integrated web site, with book-specific Web exercises, assessments, and activities.

Book News Annotation:

This undergraduate text reinforces the connection between physical activity and health and provides learning tools and critical thinking exercises that motivate students toward making healthy decisions. Material touches on cardiovascular disease and health, nutrition, bone health, muscular strength and endurance, drug use and physical activity, and healthy sexual relationships. Learning features include key concepts, activities for self-assessment of health habits, Web exercises that lead students to various sites, and a Web site with exercises keyed to the text's content. Color photos are also included. Brown teaches in the Department of Community and Family Health at the University of South Florida.
