Based on new evidence drawn from a broad range of perspectives, including anthropology, epidemiology and psychology, this book explores the important relationship between physical activity and health. Each chapter covers a different discipline, and offers fresh insight into old and resistant problems relating to how and why people take up physical activity - and why they don't! Drawing together evidence from a variety of disciplines and interpreting it in the light of current public health initiatives, this text encompasses a range of topics including: physical activity and mental health; the risks of physical activity; promoting physical activity through schools; the biological aspects of physical activity and health. Perspectives on Health and Exercise is an invaluable text for all students and professionals, providing a unique overview of this developing field
