内容简介
Fitness is an elusive state. What is here today may very well be gone
tomorrow without continual hard work, determination and discipline
For many (particularly those who are instructors) this way of life is the only
way of life. Because instructors are fit, they are role models in an age of
health awareness. In sharing with others their enthusiasm, sense of well-
being, and love for fitness, they are often regarded as fitness "experts."
But is an exercise instructor prepared for the more encompassing task of
fitness education? Has he or she the knowledge and tools to do a good and
safe job? Or, have the guidelines for instruction been as elusive to
instructors as fitness itself is to most of the population? Up until now, th?
aerobic exercising professional has not had a hands-on workbook to advise
and guide her/his daily quest for the best injury-free exercise program.
Using the combined talents and expertise of the advisors, AFAA has written
the first complete set of these long overdue guidelines.
In Aerobics: Theory and Practice, thirty accomplished fitness
researchers and practitioners elucidate upon AFAA s "Basic Exercise
Standards and Guidelines." Bringing their unique expertise to this
anthology, the authors created a practical and valuable composite. A project
of this ambition required the cooperative effort of both authors and
reviewers. Among the reviewers, special recognition is extended to Neil
Sol, Ph.D., for his diligence in coordinating these efforts. He and the
editor, Phyllis G. Cooper, R.N., spent countless hours that only come from
a professional s deep commitment to excellence.
The emphasis of this book is on the exercise considerations for adult,
able-bodied participants. Special needs of persons with disabilities, pre-and
post-partum women, children and seniors, could not be adequately covered
