About this ebook
Questions and Answers: A Guide to Fitness and Wellness (2026 EverGreen Release) by Gary Liguori and Sandra Carroll is a premier collegiate textbook published by McGraw-Hill Higher Education. [1, 2]
The book is uniquely structured around over 1,000 real health and wellness questions submitted by actual college students. This student-centered approach blends the latest evidence-based data with highly actionable advice for lifelong health and behavioral change. [1, 2, 3]
Core Conceptual Framework
The curriculum utilizes a results-centered pedagogy prioritizing passive knowledge transformation into active habits. Key elements include: [1]
- The Question-Driven Structure: Instead of standard academic headers, sections open with direct student inquiries like "How can I improve my self-esteem?" or "Do I really need 8 glasses of water a day?". [1, 2, 3]
- Behavior Change Focus: Rather than just reciting data, chapters center around how to implement a personalized behavior-change program. This covers creating a pros-and-cons analysis, tracking habits, and designing SMART goals. [1, 2]
- Authoritative Science: Updates are continuously integrated using data from leading health organizations, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Heart Association (AHA), and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). [1, 2]
