From Author: I began college studies just as researchers were beginning to recognize the link between physical inactivity and cardiovascular disease, a topic close to my, uh, heart. Soon thereafter President Eisenhower created the President’s Council on Physical Fitness to improve the fitness of military recruits.
By the time I graduated from college, I knew what I wanted to do; I just didn’t know where or how. Graduate studies focused that interest and prepared me for a university position involving teaching, research, and service. Since then I have devoured research journals, conducted laboratory and field studies, and published a few books. I’ve worked with adults, athletes, and those involved in physically demanding occupations. And I’ve presented papers and visited with colleagues throughout the world in an effort to better understand the benefits of physical activity and fitness. I bring this lifetime of study to the task of writing yet another fitness book.
