4.0 out of 5 stars Exercise and old age, December 10, 2000
By 
Matthew Parsons (Auckland New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Exercise, Aging and Health: Overcoming Barriers to an Active Old Age (Paperback)
I am in the process of completing my PhD in exercise and old age and as a resource for research undertaken within the area found Sandra's book extremely beneficial. Her writing style is informative and concise and she explores a wide range of issues relating to physical activity and old age. Sandra is a well published author of exercise and older women and this came through clearly in the book.

However, there were a few limitations in the work. Namely, the cited research was in many cases rather dated (pre 1990) and was very specific to Canada. Despite this, there were a huge number of articles cited and to date, I have not come across such a well researched literature review. One last comment - where as I appreciate the need to keep the book price down - the quality of the paper and cover is very poor.

Well done Sandra - A fantastic effort.
