Dr. Rick Howard is an assistant professor in Applied Sports Science at West Chester University in Philadelphia, PA and holds a PhD in Health Promotion and Wellness. In this podcast Rick does a masterful job of merging his education and experience as he discusses the importance of making fitness fun from childhood to old age as a primary way to improving exercise adherence in the pursuit of public health.
Some of the topics covered include:
• His ability to tie in fitness, sports, athleticism, health, wellness, and other related topics from both an academic/science and application perspective.
• His view on the importance of cradle to grave fitness, exposing fitness and good health behaviors, and physical literacy while we’re young.
• Connecting the need for physical fitness to what’s fun and enjoyable for the individual instead of dictating what people should do, which is a very common problem in our society.
• The importance of the medical fitness continuum in lifelong health and fitness.
• The importance of personal responsibility for health, and common roadblocks.
It’s always worth your time to learn from the best, so I hope you enjoy our conversation!
