Book Description
According to the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, adolescence itself is a risk factor for physical inactivity-a major contributor to obesity, one of the most serious chronic health conditions threatening the nation today. During the teen years, opportunities to participate in organized sports decrease and fewer hours are spent in physical education classes. Teens also walk less once they start driving, and activities like watching television, listening to music, playing video games, and online computing can lead to the development of a sedentary lifestyle. By increasing activity and becoming fit, however, teens can adopt habits that will help them maintain wellness throughout their adult years. Fitness Information for Teens, Second Edition provides updated facts about the importance of being physically fit. It explains exercise fundamentals and describes common types of exercise equipment. Activities for athletes and non-athletes are outlined, and a special section about avoiding fitness barriers is included. Mental wellness, proper sleep habits, body image, self-esteem, and drug issues (including the use of steroids) are discussed, and the use of physical activity to alleviate stress, depression, and anxiety is explained. The book concludes with a directory of resources and suggestions for additional reading. Book jacket.
