| Description: |
Explains how movement can fuel health and recovery from illness. This work includes a review of factors including historical exercise traditions and other fitness fads. It details the health benefits of exercise as they pertain to five key areas of benefit: cardiovascular health, flexibility, strength, and functional and sports-specific results. |
| Synopsis: |
We've all heard the mantra, exercise for good health. In fact, exercise, or lack of it, may be the most important factor in avoiding, or surviving and recovering from, the top three killers across developed countries-heart disease, cancer, and stroke. But few of us understand exactly how different forms of exercise work-physiologically speaking-to keep us healthy and prevent or treat disease. Here, two nationally known exercise experts lead a stellar team explaining, in reader-friendly terms, what exercise does to our bodies and how it spurs beneficial biological actions. |
