Physical Activity Recommendations for Youth: What Fitness Professionals Should Know examines youth-oriented physical activity and physical fitness recommendations in both the public health and the clinical realms. In an attempt to bring clarity to the somewhat confusing situation involving physical activity recommendations for youth, the Centers for Disease Control has sponsored a process for identifying the most cogent and appropriate physical activity recommendations for children and adolescents. The DVD provides an overview of that process. Among the topics covered: public health recommendations, clinical recommendations, physical inactivity and health, expert panel data, and expert panel summary and recommendations. Produced in cooperation with the American College of Sports Medicine.
