Active & Free - Young women,
physical activity and tobacco
In an effort to promote physical activity as a viable
alternative to smoking, in 1994, CAAWS introduced the
resource Evening the Odds: Tobacco, physical activity,
and adolescent women. This resource provided parents,
coaches, and teachers with timely and tailored information
to assist them as they guided young women through adolescence
and helped them embrace a healthy lifestyle. Mindful of
the alarming rate of physical inactivity in young women,
who are the fastest growing segment of the population
taking up tobacco, CAAWS revised this worthwhile resource
and modernized it for today’s physical activity
leaders.
