Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biophysical Foundations of Human Movement, Third Edition, introduces readers to key concepts concerning the anatomical, mechanical, physiological, neural, and psychological bases of human movement. The text provides undergraduate students with a broad foundation for more detailed study of the subdisciplines of human movement and for cross-disciplinary studies. Readers will learn the multi-dimensional changes in movement and movement potential that occur throughout the life span as well as those changes that occur as adaptations to training, practice, and other lifestyle factors. This third edition includes the latest research and improved presentation to address areas of growth and change in the fields of human movement. The following are important updates to this edition: • A new chapter on historical origins of human movement science provides students with an appreciation of the development of the field as well as its future directions. • Content regarding exercise physiology has been reorganized to provide more discrete coverage of key concepts in nutrition. • A new concluding section focuses on applications in the areas of prevention and management of chronic disease, prevention and management of injury, and performance enhancement in sport and the workplace, as well as the benefits of sport and exercise science to work, sport, and everyday living. • Ancillary materials support instructors in teaching across disciplines as they assist students in understanding the breadth of content in this comprehensive text. Using a modular approach to teaching sport and exercise science, Biophysical Foundations of Human Movement, Third Edition, offers students a structured understanding of how the subdisciplines work independently and in tandem. Following a general introduction to the field of human movement studies, readers are introduced to basic concepts, life-span changes, and adaptations arising in response to training in each of the five major biophysical subdisciplines of human movement. Each subdiscipline is given a brief introduction, including the definition and historical development of the subdiscipline, the typical issues and problems it addresses, the levels of analysis it uses, and relevant professional training and organizations. Multi-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary approaches to human movement are also discussed along with contemporary applications. By studying the integration of knowledge from a number of the biophysical subdisciplines, students will be better prepared for advanced study and careers reliant on the integration of knowledge from various disciplines and perspectives. The third edition offers tools for retaining the material, including learning objectives and summaries in each chapter, a glossary, and lists of web-based resources. Throughout the text, special “In Focus” features highlight key organizations, individuals, and studies from around the world that have contributed to the current understanding of human movement. These features help readers appreciate the evolution of the field so that they may better understand its direction. Students interested in further study will find specialized texts for each of the subdisciplines listed in the Further Reading and References section of each chapter along with updated lists of websites. The third edition of Biophysical Foundations of Human Movement offers a comprehensive introduction for students, scientists, and practitioners involved in the many professions grounded in or related to human movement, kinesiology, and sport and exercise science. By considering the effect of adaptations in each of the biophysical subdisciplines of human movement, Biophysical Foundations of Human Movement also illustrates the important role physical activity plays in the maintenance of health throughout the life span.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three purposes of this study were: to ascertain whether a program of structured social support would increase adherence to physical activity; to investigate whether the social support program would be differentially effective for participants with different levels of self-motivation as measured by the Self-Motivation Inventory (SMI); and to determine which aspects of the structured social support program were the most useful to participants. The sample consisted of 186, female participants enrolled in a 10 week YMCA Fitness Fantasia aerobic dance program, in Edmonton, Alberta. The subjects were drawn from 16 classes, of which 7 were experimental and 9 control. A modified, stratified random sampling procedure was utilized. As the experimental treatment was implemented within the exercise classes, all subjects within a class were assigned to either the experimental or control treatment condition. As there were a number of significant extraneous factors which could affect attendance, (e.g. day versus night classes, same instructor for more than one class, geographical region, day of class meeting), control was exercised over these factors and then randomly assigning the classes within strata to the two treatment conditions. Equal numbers of subjects scoring high, medium and low on the SMI were selected from each class. All subjects (experimental and control) were given the SMI questionnaire and a consent form to complete, on the first night. In addition, the subjects in the experimental condition received the structured social support intervention. It consisted of an educational booklet, wall charts for the exercise class and participants' homes, and procedures for instituting buddy support, family support, group support and leader support. The intervention was introduced at the first class by the researchers, and thereafter was continued by the instructors. Evaluations of the experimental classes were carried out by questionnaires for last class participants, telephone interviews of participants who had dropped out, and face-to-face semi-structured interviews of experimental exercise class instructors. The results provided support for the efficacy of a structured social support intervention increasing the adherence of participants in an aerobic dance physical activity program. In veiw of the lack of strict controls in carrying out this field experiment, it was recommended that further research be conducted to refine and substantiate the findings of this study. The results did not support the use of the SMI in identifying potential dropouts and there was no interaction found between the SMI and the experimental intervention. It was recommended that further study be carried out on the SMI to determine its usefulness in predicting adherence to physical activity. It was also recommended that alternate approaches to assessing self- motivation should be explored. The evaluations of the intervention by the participants and the instructors were positive and generally the intervention was felt to have increased the amount of social interaction in the exercise classes. Leader support was rated as the most beneficial type of support, though other forms e.g. buddy, family and group were also rated as being beneficial.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 2030 there will be about 70 million people in the United States who are older than 64. Approximately 26 percent of these will be racial and ethnic minorities. Overall, the older population will be more diverse and better educated than their earlier cohorts. The range of late-life outcomes is very dramatic with old age being a significantly different experience for financially secure and well-educated people than for poor and uneducated people. The early mission of behavioral science research focused on identifying problems of older adults, such as isolation, caregiving, and dementia. Today, the field of gerontology is more interdisciplinary. When I'm 64 examines how individual and social behavior play a role in understanding diverse outcomes in old age. It also explores the implications of an aging workforce on the economy. The book recommends that the National Institute on Aging focus its research support in social, personality, and life-span psychology in four areas: motivation and behavioral change; socioemotional influences on decision-making; the influence of social engagement on cognition; and the effects of stereotypes on self and others. When I'm 64 is a useful resource for policymakers, researchers and medical professionals.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The researcher examined the relationship between self-notivation and program adherence for 43 adults participating in a YMCA fitness program. In addition, the researcher utilized a group decision balance sheet (DBS) intervention with half the group to detemine its effect on pprogram adherence. The results of a 2 X 2 ANOVA indicated no significant (p > .05) main effect for level of self-motivation, nor for the treatment intervention. In this study, there was no significant (p > .05) relationship between scores on the self-notivation inventory (SMI), age, weight, exercise outside of class and days of program attendance. There was a significant (p
