Through Fitness for Life, students are prepared to be physically active and healthy throughout their adult lives. This evidence-based and standards-based program follows a pedagogically sound scope and sequence to enhance student learning and progress. What’s new in the Sixth Edition New to this book are three chapters (Strategies for Active Living, The Science of Active Living, and Lifelong Activity) that will help students transition from being active in school to sustaining the skills and motivation to remain active and fit for their lifetime. These chapters reinforce the Stairway to Lifetime Fitness concept, created by author Chuck Corbin, to serve as a guide for physical education standards nationwide. Some specifics include the following: · The New Physical Activity Pyramid for teens · Photos and art to illustrate concepts and engage students · Video that illustrates self-assessments and exercises · Information about the sciences on which physical education and fitness education are based · Information on scientific analysis of human movement using biomechanical principles · Information on simplified scientific method for use in decision making · Web icons and content · Technology features encouraging application as well as understanding · Science in Action feature that provides in-depth coverage of fitness, health, and wellness innovations · Exercise photos with art illustrating the muscles used · Taking Action feature that applies concepts and principles in physical activity · Planning activities for all activities in the Physical Activity Pyramid In addition, the authors went through an exhaustive process in revising and updating all the chapters to reflect current research and the new national physical education standards and fitness education standards.

It is based on scientific evidence and meets national and state physical education standards and national health and physical education guidelines. Materials have been field tested and used throughout the United States and the world. This comprehensive, interactive new resource will help students in the following ways: · Meet the national, state, and local grade-level standards and outcomes developed for K-12 physical education by SHAPE America based on the new standards outlined in Healthy People 2020 and published in 2014. · Learn the values and benefits of lifelong physical activity through the HELP philosophy, which specifies the goal of promoting health for everyone with an emphasis on lifetime activity designed to meet personal needs. · Become informed consumers on matters related to lifelong physical activity and fitness. · Learn self-management skills that lead to adopting healthy lifestyles. · Recognize and overcome the barriers to reaching activity and fitness goals. · Use technology to promote healthy living. · Separate fitness facts from fiction. · Take personal responsibility for program planning and setting individualized goals.
