Download or read book Swedish Movements Or Medical Gymnastics Classic Reprint written by Truls Johan Hartelius and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Swedish Movements, or Medical Gymnastics Although known in this country for thirty years or more, the practice of Swedish movements has, until very recently, been con fined to scarcely more than half a dozen individuals, excluding, of course, those who, although attempting to practice the Swedish sys tem, have had so slight a knowledge of the subject that they cannot properly be said to have employed it. Within the last few years, however, the knowledge of the many cures effected by this system in cases otherwise deemed incurable, and especially the growth of interest in the physiological mode of treatment of disease, has created a widespread demand for a better knowledge respecting this system of medical gymnastics, which, though so little used in this and most other countries, has been very extensively employed in Sweden, the place of its origin, for more than three quarters of a century. It is for the purpose of meeting this demand for informa tion in relation to one of the most effective of therapeutic agencies, that this translation has been prepared. A few fragmentary works have previously appeared, but up to the present there has been no English publication upon this subject which could be regarded as authoritative.

This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Power and Health Through Progressive Exercise It must not be thought, however, that this book deals wholly with heavy gymnastics, weight-lifting, and feats of strength. Many light exercises are given as being valuable to promote elasticity and suppleness; and, in addi tion to these, - as an apprenticeship of mode rate exercises is absolutely necessary in order that one may become capable of the simplest exhibition of force, - many intermediate exer cises are carefully described, and their effects discussed. The effects of common indoor and outdoor athletic sports and exercises are gone into. All which, it is hoped, will make this volume a complete manual of physical culture, suitable alike for those boys and girls, men and women, who may wish, without the aid of a teacher, to make the best of their bodies.

Download or read book Massage and Medical Gymnastics Classic Reprint written by Emil A. G. Kleen and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Massage and Medical Gymnastics Massage and Physical Exercises have formed a branch of medical and surgical treatment from time immemorial and in all countries, a fact demonstrated by Dr. Kleen in his historical introduction; and Dr. Kleen's work is a classic upon the subject which deserves the widest possible circulation throughout the world. Its translation into English may therefore be welcomed as a very real step in the diffusion of scientific knowledge upon these methods of treatment. Naturally the author's views will receive criticism when they come to be read by English-speaking people. Swedish methods of massage and gymnastics are not universally accepted as gospel. Sound and considered criticism is healthy, and Dr. Kleen would himself be the last to raise objection to it. But the great scientific work that has been done by the Swedish schools during the last hundred years has undoubtedly done more to place this branch of treatment upon an acknowledged footing than has that of any other group of workers. The necessity for the general study of physical methods of treatment has been demonstrated afresh in the work of war surgery. Too often have we seen the wonderful work done for the wounded by surgeons at military hospitals robbed of its final success by failure to secure the eventual functional utility of the damaged member by the use of appropriate physical methods. And of all the methods of physiotherapy the use of natural movements introduced in scientifically conducted physical exercises must always remain the foremost. The treatment of these late results of wounds and injuries has aroused an interest in orthopaedic surgery that is unprecedented. Orthopaedic surgery includes something much more than the simple prevention and correction of deformities. The orthopaedic surgeon should think in terms of "Function," and his endeavour should be to restore the affected part to its full normal functional activity, or if this is impossible to secure the very best possible return of functional utility. In this final restoration physical exercise must necessarily take a leading part. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Muscle, Beauty and Health: How They May Be Obtained in the Home and School; A Book of Practical Gymnastics Did you ever have a boy say to you, Just feel my muscle? And have you noticed the pride with which the embryo citizen would draw up his forearm, causing the swelling of his biceps, that gives him so much satisfaction? Have you noticed how happy is the little lady who has acquired the difficult accomplishment of jumping the rope with ease and grace? And have you known and felt the satisfaction of having the little ones around you free from complaint, erect in bearing, cheerful and light-hearted, strong enough to never weary with childhood's sports and duties?

This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Methods of Teaching Gymnastics It is time for our teachers to read the various works upon the art of teaching. The theory of gymnastics is fascinating, the practice more so but the application of the many rules which are found in works on pedagogy has not yet been considered by the majority of physical directors. The object of this work is not to set forth the claims of or criticise any system but to present methods. One who has not taught teachers will be surprised at the limited knowledge of many of them. Men and women who have been teaching for years violate so many rules of what, in the generally accepted term, is called peda gogy that we are surprised. The fact that these teach ers keep their positions, draw fair salaries, and give satisfaction shows that this part of the subject is new not only to the instructor but to the employer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Gymnastics With Light Apparatus Each grade of work is arranged in eighteen lessons, extend ing over half of the school year. This does not cover the entire term of most school sessions, as it is considered best to use review work during times of examination and promotion, rather than to tax pupils with new exercises at such times. While each course is complete in itself, the two kinds of work are designed to be interchanged - half of the school year to be devoted to free hand exercise and the succeeding half to the apparatus.

Download or read book The Special Kinesiology of Educational Gymnastics Classic Reprint written by Nils Posse and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Special Kinesiology of Educational Gymnastics Since the second edition of The Swedish System of Educational Gymnastics became exhausted, and a third edition was rendered necessary, I have used the opportunity to rewrite and elaborate the book so as to make it more suitable as a text-book for students of gymnastics. While I have deemed it desirable to change the title into Special Kinesiology, - it being a treatise on the mechanics, effects, and classification of special exercises, - the subject-matter still describes the Swedish system of educational gymnastics. I consider the change warranted, partly because of the vaster scope of the book, partly because gymnastics is fast passing into the stage where prefixes of nationality must disappear, and where the broadness of its spirit must leave its imprint even on the name. This, however, does not oppose the fact that Swedish gymnastics must be the basis of all rational gymnastics, since, to-day, it is the only system whose details have been elucidated by and derived from mechanics, anatomy, physiology, and psychology, and whose theory has survived the scrutiny of scientists all over the world; so that, whatever the name or form of the gymnastics of the future, the Swedish system will be its frame, as, even now, we see it transforming and absorbing all so-called systems.
