Download or read book Physical Activity and Exercise among Children Health Implications written by Åsa B. Tornberg and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the World Health Organization’s new recommendations on physical activity for children, regardless of living with disability or not, physical activity should be at least 60 minutes per day. Around the world, children are less and less physically active, leading to increased health risks. A healthy lifestyle, as being physically active, is normally set during childhood and adolescence, making children an important group to study and target. This Research Topic will address physiological health effects related to physical activity and exercise among children, regardless of living with disability or not, and how to assess these effects in a valid and reliable way. Children do not respond to physical activity and exercise in the same way as adults do due to unmatured physiology. Living with a disability may also affect the child’s response to physical activity and exercise. In order to be able to follow and prescribe physical activity and exercise to children, rigorous knowledge is needed on how children respond to different physical activity and exercise regimes. Additionally, to be able to follow and prescribe physical activity and exercise to children, valid and reliable assessment methods are needed. Not only do the tests need to be valid and reliable, but also common standards on how to interpret them are required. This Frontiers Research Topic seeks a broad range of original research articles, systematic review articles and meta-analyses in the area of “physical activity and exercise among children” including: -Physical activity assessments which are age- and ability-adjusted, -Fitness assessments which are age- and ability-adjusted, -Effects on health-related outcomes in relation to different physical activity interventions which are age- and ability-adapted, -Effects on health-related outcomes in relation to different exercise interventions which are age- and ability-adapted.

Download or read book Clinical Management of Overweight and Obesity written by Paolo Sbraccia and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-18 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These guidelines make recommendations regarding the management of individuals with a body mass index greater than 25.0 kg/m2 and cover all age groups, from children to the elderly, as well as various patient subsets. A range of measures to yield health benefits are set out, including healthy eating plans, increased physical activity, and behavioral modifications to help patients to manage obesity. In addition, recommendations are made on the use of bariatric surgery and the new antiobesity drugs. Throughout the process of developing the recommendations, every attempt was made to ensure use of a rigorous, evidence-based approach. The guidelines are promoted by the Italian Society of Obesity (SIO) and were formulated in compliance with a prespecified process overseen by a steering committee. They are intended for use by a wide range of clinicians, including general practitioners, primary health care nurses, and primary health care professionals, and will hopefully prove of value in combating the obesity epidemic not only in Italy but across Europe and elsewhere in the world.

Download or read book Les antipsychotiques Les m dicaments psychotropes written by THOMAS Pierre and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le développement des antipsychotiques a marqué une nouvelle ère thérapeutique après la découverte du premier neuroleptique dans les années 1950. Leur principale indication demeure les symptômes psychotiques, même s’ils offrent également de nouvelles perspectives de traitement pour certains troubles de la personnalité ou du comportement. Cependant, l’image négative qu’ont longtemps eue les neuroleptiques n’est pas totalement effacée, et cet ouvrage a pour but d’apporter toutes les informations nécessaires aux prescripteurs pour rationaliser leur choix thérapeutique et favoriser le meilleur usage possible des antipsychotiques : - les bases fondamentales : pharmacologie, pharmacogénétique, effets métaboliques et cognitifs ; - les aspects cliniques : épisodes aigus de schizophrénie, troubles bipolaires, troubles affectifs non bipolaires, TOC et affections neurologiques, tolérance des antipsychotiques et molécules à action prolongée ; - les spécificités liées aux populations : enfants et adolescents, période périnatale, personnes âgées, situations d’urgence ; - le bon usage et l’éducation thérapeutique du patient. Réunissant une quarantaine de spécialistes reconnus, riche d’une cinquantaine de tableaux et schémas explicatifs et d’un index détaillé, cet ouvrage est la référence indispensable pour tous les praticiens devant prescrire des antipsychotiques.

This book was released on 2012-01-07 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to be devoted exclusively to rare tumors in children and adolescents, and its aim is to provide up-to-date information on their diagnosis and clinical management. The opening section addresses general issues including epidemiology, risk factors/etiology, biology and genetics, early detection, and screening. It also discusses solutions to assist in the management of rare tumors, such as international networking and internet platforms. In the second section, specific malignancies are described, with practical guidance on diagnostic workup, multimodal therapy, follow-up, and adverse effects. Discussion of differential diagnosis encompasses both frequent and rare tumor types, which should enable the clinician to take rare entities into account during the diagnostic assessment. Each chapter goes on to provide detailed therapeutic guidelines for specific rare tumors. The authors are a multidisciplinary group of specialists who have dedicated themselves to this group of tumors.
