Synopsis

This title looks at exercise and how it affects your health. It provides answers to four main questions throughtout the book. These are: why do we need to exercise?; what is fitness?; how can exercise help you?; and how can problems be avoided? It also suggests practical activities and lists their main benefits and some of the problems associated with them. This book supports the Key Stage 3 (11-14 year olds) PE National Curriculum, as it covers the benefits of regular exercise and good hygiene, how to go about getting involved in activities that are good for your personal and social health, and the benefits of exercise and the physical reactions it produces in the body - all of which have to be taught. The text can also be used to support the Personal, Social and Health guidelines for 11-14 year olds, where young people should know about the importance of balancing work, leirsure and exercise in promoting physical and mental health.
