Book Description
Desde los años 80, el ejercicio físico para la salud comienza a ser una entidad particular, paralela al deporte de rendimiento, sobre la que se desarrollan numerosos estudios científicos con el fin de dilucidar los efectos que genera en la salud y los mecanismos por los que actúa. En este contexto, el ejercicio físico pasa a ser una importante estrategia de salud, tanto personal como colectiva. Este libro pretende ser una herramienta de formación que impulse el uso de la actividad física tanto en personas sanas como en personas con ciertas patologías, desde los diferentes ámbitos de la atención sanitaria. Con él pretendemos aportar los conocimientos científicos actuales que demuestran los efectos beneficiosos del ejercicio y los mecanismos por los cuales potencia la salud. Así mismo, buscamos que, aquellas personas que desarrollan su trabajo en la atención sanitaria, conozcan los elementos básicos de la actividad física que les permita prescribir el ejercicio como un elemento favorecedor de la salud, y por tanto preventivo, e incluso como parte del tratamiento en algunos problemas de salud. Los objetivos de este libro son: - Que los diversos profesionales de atención sanitaria conozcan los beneficios del ejercicio físico en la salud física, mental y social. - Que conozcan las indicaciones del ejercicio físico, como actividad que fomenta la salud y previene la enfermedad, en los distintos grupos de población sana y con diferentes patologías. - Que integren el ejercicio físico en sus recomendaciones, como estrategia para fomentar la salud de la población. CONTENIDO: 1. Introducción. 2. Efectos del ejercicio físico sobre la salud. 3. Bases biológicas del la actividad física y el entrenamiento. 4. Aptitud y evaluación de la actividad física. 5. El ejercicio en las principales patologías. 6. Características particulares del ejercicio físico en los diferentes tipos de población. 7. Hidratación y aspectos nutricionales en relación con el ejercicio físico. 8. Riesgos relacionados con la práctica de la actividad física. 9. Prescripción del ejercicio. 10. Adhesión al ejercicio. 11. Glosario. 12. Bibliografía.

Physical Activity and Educational Achievement
Author: Romain Meeusen
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1315305771
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
A growing body of research evidence suggests that physical activity can have a positive effect on educational achievement. This book examines a range of processes associated with physical activity that are of relevance to those working in education – including cognition, learning, memory, attention, mood, stress and mental health symptoms – and draws on the latest insights from exercise neuroscience to help explain the evidence. With contributions from leading scientists and educationalists from around the world, this book cuts through the myths to interrogate the relationship between physical activity and educational achievement in children, adolescents and young adults in a variety of cultural and geographical contexts. Examining both the benefits and risks associated with physical activity from the perspectives of exercise science and educational psychology, it also looks ahead to ask what the limits of this research might be and what effects it might have on the future practice of education. Physical Activity and Educational Achievement: Insights from Exercise Neuroscience is fascinating reading for any student, academic or practitioner with an interest in exercise science and education.

ISBN: 0851996485
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 445
Book Description
Disease-related malnutrition is a global public health problem. The consequences of disease-related malnutrition are numerous, and include shorter survival rates, lower functional capacity, longer hospital stays, greater complication rates, and higher prescription rates. Nutritional support, in the form of oral nutritional supplements or tube feeding, has proven to lead to an improvement in patient outcome. This book is unique in that it draws together the results of numerous different studies that demonstrate the benefits of nutritional support and provides an evidence base for it. It also discusses the causes, consequences, and prevalence of disease-related malnutrition, and provides insights into the best possible use of enteral nutritional support.

Health Status and Health Policy
Author: Donald L. Patrick
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 512
Book Description
This book has two major objectives. The first is to propose the Health Resource Allocation Strategy as a social and political process for comparing costs and outcomes of alternative policy options in the health and medical care arena to select interventions with greatest benefit in relation to cost. The second objective is to provide a reference for state-ofthe-art development and application of health status and quality of life measures for health care policy and research, including clinical applications. Not all policy applications of health- related quality of life involve resource allocation. Thus we present guidelines to assessment for use in program evaluation, monitoring of health policy, clinical trials, and health services research.

Nutrition Education in U.S. Medical Schools
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309035872
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
As the general public has become more aware of advances in nutrition, consumer demands for advice on matters of diet and disease have grown. This book offers recommendations to upgrade what were found to be largely inadequate nutrition programs in U.S. medical schools in order that health professionals be better qualified to advise and treat their patients. A comprehensive study of one-third of American 4-year undergraduate medical schools provided information on the current status of nutrition programs at each school. Conclusions were drawn and recommendations made from analysis of this gathered information. Questions examined in this volume include: Has medical education kept pace with advances in nutrition science? Are medical students equipped to convey sound nutritional advice to their patients? What strategies are needed to initiate and sustain adequate teaching of nutrition in medical schools?
