About Fit and Well, Third Edition
For today’s fitness-conscious students, Fit and Well combines the best of two worlds. In the area of physical fitness, Fit and Well offers expert knowledge based on the latest findings in exercise physiology and sports medicine. In the area of wellness, it offers accurate, current information on today’s most important health-related topics and issues. In both areas, Fit and Well offers tools for self-assessment and guidelines for achieving fitness and wellness.
The fourth edition has been thoroughly updated and revised to include the most recent ACSM guidelines for exercise, and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2000 and Healthy People 2010. In addition to the updating of topics such as the health benefits of regular physical activity, aging and exercise, the female athlete triad, nutritional supplements for athletes, and exercise for special populations, the new edition features expanded coverage of important weight management issues, stress management techniques, alternative/complementary medicine, and up-to-date coverage of chronic diseases and STDs. The built-in Behavior Change Workbook pulls together the popular Behavior Change Activities to encourage students to examine their wellness-related behaviors, take responsibility for them, and develop individualized programs for lifetime fitness and wellness. New and updated Laboratory Activities, found at the end of each chapter, give students a hands-on opportunity to assess their fitness and wellness, create plans for lifestyle change, and monitor their progress.
Fit and Well is available in three different formats. The full version of Fit and Well is an excellent choice for courses that cover a wide range of fitness and wellness topics, including cancer, substance abuse, and STDs.
