Summary

PRINCIPLES AND LABS FOR PHYSICAL FITNESS, FOURTH EDITION, focuses on the ?fitness? topics, including body composition, cardiorespiratory endurance, and muscular strength and flexibility, and also highlights important wellness topics, such as behavior management, nutrition, and stress management. With over 100 pieces of art to make this text truly engaging, it is also designed to give students the motivation and techniques they need to know to apply their learning experiences and knowledge received from their fitness course. Each chapter allows readers to chart and update their progress in the various components of physical fitness. The emphasis is on teaching individuals how to take control of their personal health and lifestyle habits so they can make a constant and deliberate effort to stay healthy and realize their highest potentials for well being.
