Questions and Answers' results-centered pedagogy ensures that the
content of each chapter works toward the larger goal of making students
active participants in their own life-learning. Critical thinking
questions and calls to action prompt students to evaluate the content
and connect it to their own experiences. Online video case studies
follow real college students attempting to change their behavior and
prompt readers to apply lessons from these experiences to their own
behavior-change goals. A series of lab activities provide tracking tools
and self- assessment forms that can be completed in print or online.
The Fifth Edition features new research-based coverage of the use of
digital technology, including new Tech Tips in every chapter that help
students take advantage of apps and tech-based devices that will help
them reach their fitness and wellness goals. Additionally, every chapter
has been updated to reflect current scientific thinking, data, and
statistics from such authoritative sources as the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, the American Cancer Society, the American Heart
Association, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
