<strong>Human</strong> <strong>Kinetics</strong> 2013 Fitness<br />
Greetings from <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Kinetics</strong><br />
What does “fitness” mean to you Why are you interested in fitness If<br />
you are like many people who open a <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Kinetics</strong> catalog or visit our<br />
website, you are interested in learning more about fitness-related topics<br />
for academic study, professional practice, continuing education—or a<br />
combination of all three!<br />
<strong>Human</strong> <strong>Kinetics</strong> genuinely excels in developing comprehensive, highquality<br />
products that cover all aspects of fitness including personal training,<br />
exercise assessment and prescription, strength and flexibility training,<br />
anatomy, massage therapy, personal and public health promotion, sports<br />
conditioning, yoga and Pilates, special populations, active aging, and<br />
nutrition.<br />
To meet our customers’ rapidly-expanding appetite for more information in<br />
more ways, we continue to publish new books and new editions in physical<br />
form (actual books), but also as lower-priced e-books, interactive online<br />
courses, or video-enhanced apps for your mobile device. Our product pages<br />
also contain online excerpts so you can sample what you are interested in<br />
before making a purchase.<br />
We encourage you to attend a free webinar (<strong>Human</strong><strong>Kinetics</strong>.com/Webinars),<br />
sign up for an e-newsletter (<strong>Human</strong><strong>Kinetics</strong>.com/Newsletters), and "like" HK<br />
on Facebook (Facebook.com/<strong>Human</strong><strong>Kinetics</strong>).<br />
We continually strive to recruit the most knowledgeable authors to develop<br />
the best products for our customers through the efforts of an extremely<br />
capable acquisition, editorial, production, and fulfillment staff. Enjoy looking<br />
through this catalog and please let us know (info@hkusa.com) if you have<br />
suggestions about how we can improve your experience with us!<br />
