Exercise Throughout Life by Peter F Williams
Written for the whole family, this book explores the principles and values of exercise and aims to encourage people of all ages, from childhood to beyond retirement, to participate in regular enjoyable exercise of their choice. Many aspects of the book will also help the beginner and the less able. It analyzes a wide range of exercises and activities, gives advice on the most suitable for each body type and explains how to start, when and how long to exercise and how to progress. The book contains basic programmes for a wide range of activities that are suitable for beginners together with progressions, plus record cards to record achievements. In addition, it explains in detail how to enjoy the many activities that can be carried out in the home, advises on skills and activities suitable for the young, and devotes a chapter to age and to slowing down the ageing process.
Peter A Williams is Professor of Polymer and Colloid Chemistry and Director of the Centre for Water Soluble Polymers at the North East Wales Institute. Has published over 170 scientific papers and edited over 30 books. He is Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Food Hydrocolloids.
His research is in the area of physicochemical characterisation, solution properties and interfacial behaviour of both natural and synthetic polymers. Recent work has been involved with the determination of molecular mass distribution using flow field flow fractionation coupled to light scattering, rheological behaviour of polymer solutions and gels, associative and segregative interaction of polysaccharides, development of polysaccharide-protein complexes as novel emulsifiers.
