Keywords:

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 third 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. The book 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, and now also includes a full chapter on exercise and mental health. 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 explores every contemporary theme 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 also 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.

Recenzijas

"Physical Activity and Health has become a classic in our field, edited by three highly respected international scholars in David, Adrianne, and Jason. This expanded edition, with support from further experts, confirms its place as the leading book on this topic. Coverage of epidemiological foundations linking physical activity with health, the key chronic health conditions affected by physical inactivity, as well as different age groups and issues, are all covered in a clear and engaging style with excellent illustrations. Its my go to text for understanding how physical activity affects our health status."

Professor Stuart Biddle, Director, Centre for Health Research, University of Southern Queensland, Australia

"This book is a great read for anyone who is looking to develop their breadth and depth of understanding about topics related to physical activity and health. It draws together information in an accessible and interesting way. The updated focus of the book makes it very relevant to every day contemporary issues in physical activity and health."

Amanda Daley, Professor of Behavioural Medicine, Loughborough University, UK

"I am delighted to see that an updated and expanded third edition of this marvellous book has been published. This is an essential text for anyone interested in understanding how physical activity improves health. It is unique in the way that it cuts through the complexities associated with the underlying evidence to provide a coherent and insightful picture of contemporary understanding."

Dylan Thompson, Professor of Human Physiology, Department for Health, University of Bath, UK

"This is the core textbook for our M.Sc in Physical Activity for Health and the third edition is most welcome. Chapters and study tasks have been expanded and some new topics, such as mental health, added. There is an important epilogue on the topic of the global pandemic of COVID and the implications for physical activity. Written by a distinguished team of authors led by three giants in this field, it is a go to text for understanding the relationship between physical activity and health."

Professor Nanette Mutrie, Director of Physical Activity for Health Research Centre, University of Edinburgh, UK
