Opis

Physical activity, inactivity and their relationship to health are a key concern for governments around the world. This book defines and explores the key policy and practice issues related to physical activity. Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, drawing on social, economic, behavioural, communication and policy sciences, and covering contexts from the global to the local, it introduces the dominant ideas which inform thinking about physical activity and its study. It examines the use of different forms of evidence in physical activity policy; the role of organisations which advocate physical activity, and the practical realities of intervention and implications for future research.
