Physical activity and its relationship to health is one of the great
issues of our age. The causes of, and solutions to, physical
inactivity are complex and multi-dimensional, and therefore the
subject needs to be studied and understood from a variety of
perspectives. This is the first textbook to provide a truly
multi-disciplinary introduction to physical activity studies. Offering
a complete foundation to the subject, it covers the basics of every
core discipline from biochemistry, public health and biomechanics to
physiology, sport psychology and sociology. It introduces a full range
of topics across the physical activity curriculum, including behaviour
change, motor skill development, nutrition, exercise prescription,
public health policy, and physical education, providing a
well-balanced and international perspective on each important issue.
There is also a strong emphasis throughout the book on the practical,
applied dimensions of physical activity, including innovative
approaches to promotion and intervention tailored to every age range
and environment. Physical Activity: A Multi-disciplinary Introduction
is an indispensable companion to any course or degree programme with
an emphasis on physical activity and health. A variety of exclusive
eResources to aid teaching and learning are also available via the
Routledge website.
