Foundations of Physical Activity and Public Health
This text is a collection of the concepts that define the emerging field of physical activity and public health. Much like the more established fields (i.e., the effects of nutrition and smoking on public health), physical activity and public health has its roots in the grafting of two other fields. In this case, public health scientists and exercise scientist have come together to create a window to improve health through research and promotion of physical activity. Methods and evidence from the public health sciences (epidemiology, health promotion, behavioral science, and environmental health) and kinesiology (exercise physiology, the movement sciences, and sport and exercise psychology), combined with a necessary eye on health policy, constitute our field. Although nothing can be substituted for experience, this text offers the background and introduction to tools needed for the planning, implementation, and evaluation of physical activity promotion programs.
