| Summary |
This essential reference provides you with real-life examples of how the "Guidelines for School and Community Programs to Promote Lifelong Physical Activity Among Young People," developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), can be implemented in a wide variety of settings, from schools to hospitals to YMCAs. It also gives you an easy-to-understand summary of these guidelines. The information is presented as 10 broad recommendations for schools and community programs, each followed by a more detailed description. To bring the recommendations to life, the book includes 20 examples of effective programs that address the CDC's guidelines. You'll learn how each program began, how it was developed, how roadblocks were overcome, and how successes were achieved. Cross-references to the guidelines help you determine which recommendations are being followed in each program |
