Description

Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for developing coronary artery disease.

It also increases the risk of stroke and such other major cardiovascular risk factors as obesity, high blood pressure, low HDL ("good") cholesterol and diabetes.

The American Heart Association recommends that children and adolescents participate in at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day.

Increased physical activity has been associated with an increased life expectancy and decreased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Physical activity produces overall physical, psychological and social benefits.

Inactive children are likely to become inactive adults.

This book presents new research in the field from around the world.
