Abstract
It is now widely accepted that regular exercise behavior has numerous health benefits, including enhanced weight control [Wing RR, Hill JO (Annu Rev Nutr 21:323-341, 2001], reduced risk of cardiovascular disease [Thompson et al. (Circulation 107(24):3109-3116, 2003)], type 2 diabetes [Knowler et al. (N Engl J Med 346(6):393-403, 2002)], and osteoporosis [Vuori IM (Public Health Nutr 4(2B):517-528, 2001)], as well as cancers of the breast [McTiernan et al. (J Am Med Assoc 290(10):1331-1336, 2003)] and colon [Slattery (Sports Med 34(4):239-252, 2004)]. There is also growing evidence that exercise may enhance mood [Blumenthal et al. (Arch Intern Med 159(19):2349-2356, 1999); Dunn et al. (Am J Prev Med 28(1):1-8, 2005)] and cognitive functioning [Colcombe SJ, Kramer AF (2003). Psychol Sci, 14(2), 125-130; Etnier et al. (J Sport Exerc Psychol 19:249-277, 1997)].
