Questions and Answers is built on questions—real questions about real health and wellness issues collected from real students at both 2- and 4-year schools across the United States. In responding to these student inquiries, authors Gary Liguori and Sandra Carroll combine the latest science-based knowledge with practical guidance on concrete actions students can take now to improve their fitness and wellness. Questions and Answers’s active learning approach includes a focus on behavior change and the latest research and science. Paired with McGraw Hill Connect™, a digital assignment and assessment platform that strengthens the link between faculty, students, and coursework, more can be accomplished in less time. Connect Fitness & Wellness is particularly useful for remote and hybrid courses, and includes assignable and assessable videos, quizzes, exercises, and labs.
