Along with an updated review of the research and literature, this new second edition introduces a new chapter on the concept of whole person wellness. It offers strategies for integrating the six dimensions (physical, emotional, intellectual, vocational, spiritual and social) into health promotion and physical activity programmes for older adults. This comprehensive guide blends theory, practical content and detailed instruction to form four main parts. Each part addresses one or more of the nine training modules that comprise the International Curriculum Guidelines for Preparing Physical Activity Instructors of Older Adults.
