This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.

Download or read book What is Tactical Periodization written by Xavier Tamarit and published by . This book was released on 2015-04-12 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally developed by Vitor Frade, at the University of Porto, Tactical Periodization is a methodology - popularized by coaches such as Jose Mourinho and Andre Villas Boas - that trains soccer players through a logical process that focuses on four moments of the game. These four moments are: Offensive Organisation, the Transition from Defence to Attack, Defensive Organisation, and the Transition from Attack to Defence. Through Tactical Periodization, the aim is to develop players to rapidly alter their on-field behaviours according to the tactical context of the match, and what actually unfolds in front of them. In turn, every training exercise focuses on at least one of the four moments, and always the coach's tactical game model of how he wants his team to play. In doing so, football players prepare and learn how best to conquer the often unpredictable matches that they encounter competitively. This book is the English language translation of the acclaimed book Periodizacion Tactica by world-renowned coach and sports science specialist Xavier Tamarit. *Important Note: What is Tactical Periodization is the translation of an academic book that examines Tactical Periodization's underlying philosophies, methodologies, and application. It covers areas such as systemic thinking, football as a complex phenomenon, and how the 'sum is greater than its parts'; it does not contain practical how-tos or drills. Candidly, it is not an 'easy' book to read, and requires a certain level of effort and concentration by the reader. However, for those who stick with it, the book provides a rewarding and high value resource for the modern football coach who wishes to understand exactly how Tactical Periodization developed, what it means for the sport, and how it can influence his or her coaching. Summary sections have been added to each original chapter to offer additional insight."

Download or read book Fundamentos de la evaluaci n f sica y biol gica written by Estrella María Brito Ojeda and published by Wanceulen S.L.. This book was released on 2010-11-05 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poder valorar la aptitud o capacidad permite cuantificarlas variables funcionales utilizadas y prescribir programas de actividades ajustadas en cada momento a la mejora funcional, aprendizaje, entrenamiento, salud, etc. Además de tener información del estado de salud del individuo ante tareas y esfuerzos moderados o intensos, mejorar la capacidad de trabajo de la población activa o sedentaria, comparar los resultados entre distintos grupos y verificarla efectividad de los programas de ejercicios realizados. En definitiva, desarrollar pruebas de evaluación cada vez más objetivas y precisas en las diferentes actividades humanas permite educar al individuo en el conocimiento de su cuerpo, limitaciones y posibilidades y alcanzar los niveles de salud, conocimiento, desarrollo humano y bienestar que las sociedades modernas exigen. En este libro la Profesora Brito Ojeda desarrolla los principales conceptos teóricos de las variables que se analizan posteriormente en los trabajos experimentales y se centra en las baterías adecuadas para la evaluación de la condición física y los tests de campo y de laboratorio específicas del aporte de oxígeno y condición biológica. Este libro constituye un acierto evidente en su planteamiento, es, probablemente, uno de los estudios sobre la condición biológica más ambicioso y fructífero que se ha publicado en nuestra lengua. En cualquier caso, era lo esperado del trabajo de la Dra. Brito Ojeda sobre la actividad física y de la entidad, experiencia y valía de la autora y de otros profesores que siguen la misma línea de trabajo y persiguen objetivos parecidos e investigaciones comunes. ¡Ojalá! que continúen siempre en tan fecunda búsqueda de objetivos científicos, algo que por desgracia no es muy corriente en nuestro país. Así pues, debemos felicitarnos por esta nueva aportación de la Profesora Brito Ojeda que desde hace muchos años trabaja incansablemente para que los límites de la Educación Física y el Deporte se ensanchen y profundicen en la búsqueda de la verdad y la excelencia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El objetivo de esta publicación es estudiar y explicar de forma detallada, aunque siempre con un enfoque eminentemente didáctico, los aspectos más relevantes de las adaptaciones funcionales al ejercicio físico y al entrenamiento en el organismo humano. A través de los distintos capítulos se relatan los conocimientos actuales de la estructura y función del músculo; el metabolismo de la fibra muscular y del organismo en el ejercicio; las distintas adaptaciones fisiológicas (cardiovasculares, respiratorias, neuronales, termorreguladores, etc.) y la participación de los sistemas de control neuronal y regulación endocrina. En los últimos capítulos, se estudian las modificaciones inducidas por el entrenamiento y los aspectos más destacados de la fatiga física, las ayudas ergogénicas y el dopaje. El autor pretende que la exposición de los diferentes temas, a pesar de su complejidad, sea de fácil comprensión para el lector. Para ello, siguiendo siempre un planteamiento riguroso y suficientemente exhaustivo, se ha buscado un estilo sencillo, fácil y directo, huyendo de los accesorios, poco relevantes o excesivamente farragosos.
