May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month

Go Get Fit!


If you need ideas or tips to get you started in the right direction, GALILEO offers access to the full text of several popular sports and fitness magazines. 

QUICK TIP:  Journal and search links may not work off site. Log in to GALILEO first for access.

In GALILEO, you will find titles such as Sports Illustrated, Men’s Fitness, Running and FitNews, and Shape, and it also includes some publications for those more serious about exercise, such as American Fitness, Bicycling, DIRTSports, Joe Weidner’s Muscle and Fitness, Swimming World, and Runner’s World. Just go to Magazines A-Z to search for these or magazines that you like. If you want to know when a new issue is added, you can set up a journal alert.

In addition to the magazines, you can find many more articles, fact sheets, and more in several databases, such as MasterFILE Premier, Consumer Health Complete, or Research Library. Just search physical fitness, sports, or exercise in these or other databases listed in the Exercise subject area of GALILEO. If you have a particular topic that you like, you can set up a search alert so that you will receive emails when an article about your topic is added.
