Although most would agree that eating better and being more physically active are the answer to the problem, researchers have recently become aware that the problem goes beyond just changing individual behaviors. We can convince people of the benefits of healthful eating and regular physical activity, but what happens when they go home to a neighborhood where fresh vegetables are not available and opportunities for physical activity are hard to find? If the environment doesn’t help support healthy lifestyles, the change will be next to impossible to sustain. In \u003ci\u003eReversing the Obesogenic Environment\u003c\/i\u003e, leading researchers Lee, McAlexander, and Banda introduce the concept of the obesogenic environment—an environment that leads people to become obese—and explore ways that changing our environment can encourage healthier choices. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Although most of the current literature focuses on the food supply and dietary habits, \u003ci\u003eReversing the Obesogenic\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnvironment\u003c\/i\u003e takes a broader view of the current obesity problem. It looks at all of the elements that combine to create the obesogenic environment: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e •The ways that the built environment, access to resources, and active transportation systems can either foster or discourage regular physical activity \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e •The multiple factors that encourage consumption of calorie-laden, nutritionally inadequate foods that can lead to obesity \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e •The positive and negative impact of public policy \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e •The influence of family, culture, socioeconomic status, and other social factors on an individual’s health behaviors as well as access to physical activity opportunities and healthier food options \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e •The role that media and marketing play in food purchasing decisions \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e With \u003ci\u003eReversing the Obesogenic Environment\u003c\/i\u003e, readers will get a cutting-edge view of this emerging body of research with applications that can be realistically implemented in their communities. The book goes beyond defining the issues that contribute to the obesity epidemic—it offers tools that will help practitioners start to reverse it. Throughout the book, the authors incorporate practical recommendations based on the latest research. Sample programs and policies, checklists, and potential solutions offer readers a starting point for changes in their own communities. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The obesity epidemic is a multifaceted issue influenced by factors ranging from international trade and national policy to individual behaviors. Reversing the problem will take coordinated multilevel efforts. These efforts may take years to come to fruition, but it isn’t too late to take action. \u003ci\u003eReversing the Obesogenic Environment\u003c\/i\u003e is the ideal guide to taking the first steps toward change. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Reversing the \u003ci\u003eObesogenic Environment \u003c\/i\u003eis part of the \u003ci\u003ePhysical Activity Intervention Series\u003c\/i\u003e (PAIS).

This complete resource also looks at the evolution of the field of physical activity and health; variations in physical activity levels across age, sex, and ethnic groups; the body’s physiological responses to physical activity; dose-response issues; and the influence of genetics on physical activity, fitness, and health.

It consists of seven tests—covering lower- and upper-body strength, aerobic endurance, lower- and upper-body flexibility, agility, and balance—that can be conducted with minimal space, equipment, and technical requirements, making it easy to administer in most clinical and community settings or in the home environment. The manual presents clear instructions on preparing and administering the tests and interpreting and using the test results.

Ready-to-use materials such as reproducible forms, large-print instructions (complete with photos) to post at testing stations, and large versions of performance charts make the testing process more effective, and an expanded chapter on improving test scores includes illustrated instructions for exercises that can be prescribed to seniors to help them improve their fitness. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In addition, the manual retains national normative data based on age and sex for over 7,000 adults ages 60 to 94, but it now includes criterion-referenced, clinically relevant fitness standards. Based on the authors' continued groundbreaking research on aging and functional fitness, these new criterion-referenced standards allow practitioners and older adults to identify the test scores at a specific age that are correlated with maintaining adequate functional mobility into the 90s, providing a new and deeper understanding of the test scores. This allows practitioners and their clients to focus on maintaining or improving functional fitness with customized goals meant to preserve and improve individual abilities. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The second edition of the \u003ci\u003eSenior Fitness Test Manual \u003c\/i\u003eis now packaged with a DVD that contains visual demonstrations of the tests, including setup, execution, evaluation, and modification of testing protocols to accommodate clients’ limitations.

NPTI developed a comprehensive system to provide the education to ensure that personal trainers were not only certified but also qualified. NPTI is an actual school for personal trainers—students attend classes, listen to lectures, complete homework, take tests, and participate in extensive practical-based, hands-on workshops. Students are taught both the art and science of personal training. NPTI currently has more than 30 campuses throughout the United States and Canada. Thousands of students graduate from NPTI every year and go on to work in commercial fitness settings, physical therapy centers, weight-loss clinics, personal training studios, and collegiate athletic centers; many graduates go on to operate their own personal training–based businesses as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!--end tabAuthor--\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"tab-quote\" class=\"tab-content\"\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e“This is an excellent resource for individuals preparing for a career in health and fitness.
