Now in a fully revised and updated new edition, this book examines how social determinants such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender identity and disability can impact on physical activity and its associated health outcomes.

The book explores the social, cultural, political and environmental factors that influence engagement in physical activity in a range of diverse populations and presents evidence-based, culturally appropriate strategies for targeting and promoting physical activity participation. Each chapter considers how the social determinants that impact on health are formed by the environments in which people live, work, learn and play. Incorporating a series of original case studies, this book analyzes physical activity behaviors in groups including African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, Native Americans and Native Hawai’ians; military veterans; physically disabled populations; low-income populations, and rural populations. Also looking at physical activity in lesbian, gay and bisexual populations, this new edition now has a separate chapter on transgender people, reflecting the particular challenges and circumstances facing that group today. The book also includes a chapter looking at physical activity from international perspectives.

With every chapter including useful features such as definitions of key terms, summary points and critical thinking questions, Physical Activity in Diverse Populations: Evidence and Practice is essential reading for any course on physical activity, exercise, and health.
