Fitness Matters is a comprehensive, yet easily accessible book, designed for the general course in physical activity, fitness, and health at colleges and universities. The overall goal of the book is to provide students with skills and knowledge necessary for behavior change. Chapters cover all of the traditional components of physical fitness, including aerobic fitness, body composition, and muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility. In addition, other chapters that focus on physical activity and health, exercise prescription, physical activity adherence, stress management, and nutrition are written with the goal of behavior change in mind. Each chapter has associated laboratory activities that can be detached and turned in as class assignments.
