Toward New Approaches for Exercise Behavior Change and Health Promotion.

Kimiecik, Jay C.; Lawson, Hal A.

Quest, v48 n1 p102-25 Feb 1996

The human capital model is described as it relates to health promotion and exercise behavior change strategies, and possible limitations are discussed. An alternative called the human development-potential perspective is presented. The alternative model broadly frames health in socioecological terms with economic, moral, and sociocultural benefits.
