Ransdell (Boise State U.), Dinger (U. of Oklahoma), Huberty (U. of Nebraska, Omaha), and Miller (U. of Kentucky) offer information, methods, and techniques for health-related professionals looking for alternatives that do not require a rigid application of the traditional frequency, intensity, and time (FIT) approach to exercise. In particular, the text targets individuals involved in training people to design, implement, and evaluate physical activity interventions or conduct research related to physical activity interventions, including state health department employees, community program designers, fitness club professionals, and academic professionals. Coverage includes the foundations of physical activity; evidence-based recommendations for working with specific populations, including women, overweight/obese people, older adults, and ethnically diverse populations; environmental approaches to increasing physical activity; the influences of setting--home, family, church, worksite, medical community--on interventions; and using mediated programming to extend the reach of an intervention.
