Review of The Active Woman's Health and Fitness Handbook (Paperback)

As a psychologist specializing in professional athletics, I am continually astonished by the rampant number of misconceptions regarding women's health issues - especially those relating to fitness and exercise (both recreational and professional).With this book, clearly written for both the consumer while detailed enough for the practitioner, Dr. Nadya Swedan, MD has definitively established herself as a leader in the field of woman's health and fitness. BRAVO!

Written by a female athlete and doctor, it answers questions in many areas-from what health risks are associated with each sport or exercise, to what to do when your knee hurts after a jog, to what you can do to prevent osteoporosis.
