Download or read book Water Aerobics Instructor Training Manual with Specific Exercise Programs written by Rob Thomason and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water Aerobics Instructor Training Manual with Specific Exercise Programs by Rob Thomason This book is an instruction manual that gives the potentially new instructor the basic information needed to become certified in water aerobics along with a regime of exercise moves using water dumbbells. The exercise portion gives the potential new instructor the means to begin their own classes after receiving certification using this protocol of water exercises, though there are other exercise moves that can be incorporated that are not listed in this manual. But this manual is more than just about becoming an instructor. Due to his role as a senior health advocate, the author wishes to impart the importance and benefits of water therapy and water wellness which play in the therapeutic aspect of healing and mending of a patient to the overall fitness and maintaining wellness which an individual receives participating in an actual water aerobics class. He also hopes that the medical field recognizes these attributes and supports its usage for the good of their patients. In the “About The Author” section within this manual, the author mentions the trainings and certifications that he has received throughout the various programs that lead him to concentrate on incorporating modifications to various exercise moves so that any individual can join a class and receive basically the same benefits that others get doing the same exercise performed. By having a plan of modified exercises structured within the program, you give those individuals that have trouble keeping up a routine of land exercises (due to any physical limitations), an exercise avenue that is a good fit for their needs and allow them to workout in an overall class structure promoting an atmosphere of safety, camaraderie, and overall fun while getting the physical exercises they need along with the mental challenges that are incorporated within many of the exercises themselves.

Dr. Ahlskog's goal is to educate patients so that they can better team up with their doctors to do battle with the disease, streamlining the decision-making process and enhancing their treatment. To do this, Dr. Ahlskog offers a gold mine of information, distilled from his years of experience treating people with Parkinson's at the Mayo Clinic.

With a broader understanding of the disease and the available options, patients are able to make more informed choices, and doctors are able to provide more tailored care. This book delivers hopeful, helpful, and extensive information to all parties concerned: patients, caregivers, and doctors. The ultimate guide to symptoms and treatment, this thoroughly updated second edition is the first place patients should turn for reliable, easy-to-grasp information on Parkinson's Disease.

Download or read book Parkinson s Disease written by W. Birkmayer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parkinson's disease is one of the major causes of neurological disability in adult life. It has been encountered in all races, in every region of the world and shows no preference for either sex. In general, its initial manifestations begin in the fifth decade of life. With the world population showing an increase in numbers of people in the older age groups, Parkinson's disease will undoubtedly be encountered with increased frequency in the years to come. Though its cause is unknown, significant strides in understanding its nature and controlling its symptoms have been made during the past two decades. Contained in this volume is a comprehensive review of the present knowledge of Parkinson's disease. Though James Parkinson is credited with the uncovering the illness which now bears his name, and his monograph on the Shaking Palsy written in 1817, is truly a medical classic, descriptions of this disease can be found in medical writings going back to the time of Galen. Indeed, he himself was the first to admit that he was not describing a new disease but bringing an old one to the attention of the medical researchers of his time so that it would become a subject of interest and investigation. Specifically, his objective was the morbid anatomist whose efforts he hoped would bring to light the cause and nature of the disorder. This, then, would become a basis for· treatment or even cure.
