Full Description
Part one of this book examines the benefits of exercise for women, from osteoporosis prevention to reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and improving well-being. The book also reviews the physiological fitness differences between men and women, and in Part two presents and discusses fitness programming for women. Part three helps women to tailor an exercise programme to their stage in life: adolescence, pre-menopause, menopause, post-menopause and ageing. Special fitness and health challenges for each stage are reviewed, including nutrition and supplements. A detailed glossary provides the broad professional audience who will be interested in this book with a collection of difficult and specialised terms and their meanings.
