Cardiovascular disease (CVD) covers all diseases and conditions of the heart and blood vessels, including coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure, and peripheral vascular disease. Cardiovascular diseases are the biggest cause of deaths worldwide. Although death rates for cardiovascular disease in Australia have declined considerably in recent decades, it continues to be the leading cause of premature death; the health and economic burden of CVD continues to exceed that of any other disease. Ninety per cent of Australians have at least one lifestyle-related risk factor for cardiovascular.

This practical book provides all of the information you need to introduce this technology in the classroom easily and successfully; the instructions, lessons, data, and support. Even if you've never used a heart monitor yourself, you'll quickly learn how to facilitate self-directed, experiential learning that helps students see and feel how physical activity influences heart health. In no time, your students will be using heart monitors to individualize their fitness goals, monitor their own progress, and take charge of their health. Special features include the following: Rationales for using heart rate; monitors and heart zone training in health and physical education curricula; 17 lesson plans emphasizing self-directed learning, goal setting, and self-motivation; 30 pull-out, reproducible student worksheets; Pull-out log page and journal page.

"Everything you've been told about exercise is wrong! For decades we've been told that cardio exercise is a silver bullet against weight gain and obesity and a panacea against heart disease. We've been told that hours spent jogging, cycling, and in aerobics classes will repay us with years of healthy (and fit!) longevity. We believed it. Today, we are heavier and more out of shape than ever--and likely suffering from overuse injuries incurred from years of prolonged cardio exercise. New research is showing that long cardio and endurance workouts do not get us slimmer or stronger. They do not promote longevity or protect against heart disease. In fact, they may do the opposite by putting excessive strain on our heart, joints, and muscles and slow our metabolism. The Great Cardio Myth will show you how to get the same or better fitness results in one-fifth the time of a typical cardio session and debunk unproductive exercise habits. Lose weight (and keep it off) in just a few short workouts per week. Keep your metabolism active for hours after a workout. Strengthen and protect your heart, joints, and muscles. Burn through belly fat--and other stubborn areas quickly"-- "The Great Cardio Myth uncovers the science behind cardio and why it is an ineffective workout for weight loss and overall health"--
