This book outlines a carefully developed program for physical fitness. The concept of physical fitness and its physiological basis are examined and guidelines are laid down to enable the reader to evaluate an individual physical exercise program commensurate with his or her age and physical condition. Advanced conditioning methods are described as well as the interrelationships between nutrition, weight control, coronary artery disease, and physical activity. The value and feasibility of popular sports as lifelong physical fitness activities are evaluated. (JD)
