AB This  part  of  this  textbook  is  designed  to  give  you  an  appreciation  of  the  field  of  exercise  physiology  as  a  discipline.  Chapter  1  provides  a  brief  historical  perspective  of  the  field  of  exercise  physiology  so  you  will  understand  the  relevance  of  the  profession  within  the  context  of  health  professions.  It  is  also  intended  to  give  you  a  foundational  understanding  of  how  the  field  of  exercise  physiology  fits  into  the  "real  world"  and  how  it  can  impact  consumers.  Chapter  2  defines  the  differences  and  interrelationships  among  physical  activity,  fitness,  and  health.  The  focus  is  on  how  physical  activity  and  exercise  impact  the  risk  for  development  of  chronic  diseases,  as  well  as  quality  of  life  and  longevity.
