Description
Summary:The Influence of Genetic Factors on Health, Physical Activity, and Fitness provides a basic introduction to the field of genetics. The DVD describes how health, physical activity, and fitness are all affected by genetic and non-genetic factors. The DVD also discusses the fact that there are high, average, and low responders to exercise programs, diets, or medications. Furthermore, the DVD reviews the fact that genetic factors affect the speed and extent of these responses. Explains how genetic factors have more of an effect on fitness and less of an effect on physical-activity behavior. In addition, the DVD details how fitness and activity are both important and independent risk factors for health, but suggests that exercise programs should emphasize physical activity more than fitness.
