Subject areas covered include diet methods, food supplements, exercise, sports injuries, anatomy, energy-related terms, exercises for improving strength, flexibility, stamina, weight control, training methods and principles, calorie requirements of different activities, and other related topics. For this update all entries have been reviewed and updated where necessary, and 20,000 new and revised words have been added, alongside web links to relevant online resources and images. Focus areas include computer and satellite technology, DNA technology, food and drink labelling, and the psychological aspects of dieting and exercising, and new entries cover topics such as accelerometry, drink labelling, exercise tracking, mindfulness, national diet and nutrition survey, and spontaneous activity expenditure. A good diet and regular exercise are the key components of a healthy lifestyle.
