Physical Activity and Health: The Evidence Explained 2nd Edition

Used this book for a health and physical activity class. Very informative and very interesting. I would highly recommend this not only for classroom work, but if you're in the health and fitness industry or wellness, this provides a great deal of information that is useful and practical.

Great

Nothing really special about this text book. It's pretty much to the point and with that said, not very interesting. Disappointing for such an interesting subject.

I did a sports science degree for my undergraduate at Loughborough university and needed this book to complete my course- very interesting!

good, has been useful

Whilst this book has some useful messages to offer, they are spread out thin, with copious amounts of secondary infirmation such as experimental techniques. I personally found it tortuous to read, and learnt very little they I did not know already about the impact of exercise on health. My feeling is that as a text book, it had to trick so many political correctness boxes that it became almost unreadable.
