Carol:

Check out:

1) Physical Activity and Health - A Report of the The Surgeon General (1996)

2) Quinney, Gauvin and Wall - Proceedings of the International Conference on Physical Activity, Fitness
and Health

3) physical activity supplement to CANCER (this is a journal and is very recent)

hope this helps!
