Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.
