Dr. Werner W.K. Hoeger is a full-time professor and director of the Human Performance Laboratory at Boise State University. He is a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine and is the recipient of the first 2004 Presidential Award for Research and Scholarship in the College of Education at Boise State University. Dr. Hoeger uses his knowledge and experiences to write engaging, informative books that thoroughly address today's fitness and wellness issues in a format accessible to students. In addition to LIFETIME PHYSICAL FITNESS AND WELLNESS, he has written several other textbooks for Wadsworth Cengage Learning, including Fitness and Wellness, Principles and Labs for Fitness and Wellness, Principles and Labs for Physical Fitness, Wellness: Guidelines for a Healthy Lifestyle, and Water Aerobics for Fitness and Wellness (with Terry-Ann Spitzer Gibson). Dr. Hoeger was the first author to write a college fitness textbook that incorporated the "wellness" concept and introduced the principle that to truly improve fitness and health and to achieve wellness, a person needs to go beyond the basic health-related components of physical fitness. As an innovator in the field, Dr. Hoeger has developed many fitness and wellness assessment tools, including fitness tests such as the modified sit and reach, total body rotation, shoulder rotation, muscular endurance, muscular strength and endurance, and soda pop coordination tests. Proving that he "practices what he preaches," at 48, he was the oldest male competitor in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. He raced in the sport of luge along with his 17-year-old son Christopher. This was the first time in Winter Olympics history that father and son competed in the same event.

This book is a wealth of information, although it is a lot to take it. I'm very happy with the condition of the one I received and it's kind of nice to have a few things underlined and marked for reference. I needed the same info.

The book came in very good condition..Very little writing within the book and no tears on the cover or the pages.

Does what I bought it for

I find that I have this weird niche that whenever I buy a workout/fitness/exercise book I prefer to go to the gym rather than read the book. So, when I made this purchase I definitely intended on reading the book to help get me back in the gym, but rather than do that, I just went to the gym. So, it definitely did what I bought it for, just in a very unique way.

This book was "average" for a textbook.
The graphs and charts are excellent, however the author is not very engaging while presenting the material.

LET ME START OFF BY SAYING : I HOPE THESE AUTHORS ARE HAPPILY MARRIED BECAUSE THEY ARE CROOKS . I WAS TOOLD BY MY PROFESSORS I CAN BUY THE 8TH, 9TH,OR ANY EDITION UP TO THE 12TH BECAUSE THE ONLY THINg THAT IS DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE 5 OF THEM ARE THE COLORS OF THE PICTURES !!!

second , the other editions go up to chapter 15, so if u need this book for class , you are effed on your final . and if your professor requires you to do the labs in the book you only have the first 8, and then your basically effed for the next half of the semester .

i didnt even use this book at all because by the time i got it ( this was very quick shipping, but i tried another company at first) it was already too late we were up to chapter nine . -____- . if you want to be successful in this class , buy one of the later editions , just dont buy this one you will be very sorry .
