tailieunhanh - The Health Benefits of Physical Activity for Girls and Women

The Scientific Contest held for the second time this year has allowed 100 excellent young scientist of under 34 years to be supported by the Society to join us in Florence, by providing free registration and accomodation. The contest has been extremely tight, and although the scientific committee could select only 100 winners, the scientific level was so high that ISGE decided to support anyway those who did not get through, by providing a reduced registration rate to the congress. This is the first of a series of moves to help the young and the brightest to contribute to. | The Health Benefits of Physical Activity for Girls and Women Literature Review and Recommendations for Future Research and Policy British Columbia Centre of Excellence fir W omen s Health Centre d excellence de la Columbie-Britannique pour la santé des femmes Co-Editors Colleen Reid Lesley Dyck Heather McKay and Wendy Frisby British Columbia Centre of Excellence for Women s Health Vancouver BC CANADA Report available in alternate formats The Health Benefits of Physical Activity for Girls and Women Literature Review and Recommendations for Future Research and Policy Co-Editors Colleen Reid Lesley Dyck Heather McKay and Wendy Frisby British Columbia Centre of Excellence for Women s Health Vancouver BC CANADA British Cblmrbia Centre bf Excellence fir W omen s Health Centre d excellence de la Cblumbie-Britannique pour la santé des femmes Main Office E311 - 4500 Oak Street Vancouver British CbLunbia V6H 3N1 Canada Tả Fax Email bccewh@ W eb ca Women s Health Reports Copyright 2000 by British Columbia Centre of Excellence for Women s Health ISSN 1481-7268 ISBN 1-894356-11-X Lorraine Greaves Executive Editor Celeste Wincapaw Production Coordinator Janet Money Senior Editor Robyn Fadden Copy Editor Michelle Sotto Graphic Designer Canadian Cataloguing in Publication Data Reid Colleen The health benefits of physical activity for girls and women Includes bibliographical references.
