Book excerpt: El desarrollo motor en la edad adulta alcanza su rendimiento máximo, y tras un corto periodo de tiempo de uno o dos años, comienza su regresión o pérdida paulatina de las cualidades adquiridas. En el primer bloque de este libro, se abordarán los conceptos más importantes, así como los datos que justifican el estudio de esta etapa vital. También se ahondará en el rendimiento máximo alcanzado por la persona al comienzo de la edad adulta. A continuación, tras ese punto de inflexión dentro del ciclo vital, se analizará la variedad en la forma del proceso de envejecimiento del individuo, es decir, las individualidades y cómo el Estilo de Vida incide en dicho proceso. En el segundo bloque, en un primer tema, se describirá y profundizará en la degeneración de las Funciones vitales de la persona. La Función Biológica entendida como su nivel de condición física. La Función Perceptivo-Cognitiva se refiere tanto a la capacidad de percepción, como al procesamiento de la información y a la capacidad de respuesta motora. Por último, y no menos importante, la Función emocional. Estas tres o cuatro funciones, están presentes y condicionan el Bienestar que pueda alcanzar la persona mayor. En el segundo tema de este segundo bloque se analizará, en función de las premisas anteriores, el desarrollo motor de la persona mayor. Por un lado, el estado de los patrones motores fundamentales, aprendidos durante la primera infancia y consolidados en la segunda etapa de la misma, como son el equilibrio, la marcha, los lanzamientos y golpeos. Se ha optado por incluir la conducción debido a las demandas psicomotrices de dicha tarea. Y por otro lado, se ahondará en la clasificación de las personas mayores dependiendo de su nivel de independencia dentro de las tareas de la vida diaria. Se conocerán los diferentes grupos habituales y sus tendencias en relación con su competencia motriz. También se profundizará en aquella actividad física adecuada para el desarrollo motor en la tercera edad en el último tema que cierra este bloque.
Download or read book Ageing Physical Activity and Health written by Karin Volkwein-Caplan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most pressing questions facing society today is how to care for its burgeoning elderly population. By the year 2050, experts predict that one-third of the world’s population will be over 60 years old. Health promotion for the elderly is therefore becoming an increasingly important topic in public policy and planning. This book examines the challenges presented by an ageing global population, our varying expectations of healthy ageing, and the importance of exercise and physical activity for the elderly. Drawing on empirical research from around the world, it considers the factors that influence health and well-being in later life and compares practices and policies designed to promote healthy ageing. It presents case studies from 15 countries spanning Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia, and sheds light on how attitudes to physical activity differ across nations, regions and cultures. Ageing, Physical Activity and Health: International Perspectives is important reading for all students, researchers and practitioners with an interest in physical activity, public health, exercise science or gerontology.

Download or read book The Bronfenbrenner Primer written by Lawrence Shelton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first ever introduction to Urie Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Framework written specifically for undergraduate students. The author provides a carefully structured, guided introduction to Bronfenbrenner’s concepts, their interpretation, and their potential applications. Bronfenbrenner’s scientific analysis of the role the environment plays in human development earned him a premier place alongside Jean Piaget, Sigmund Freud, and Erik Erikson as a contributor to our understanding of developmental processes. His ideas are essential for analysing how development happens, how it goes astray, how to right it when it does, and how to create environments that will promote healthy development. The Bronfenbrenner Primer walks students through each component of the framework in a logical order, helping students build a solid, systematic understanding. It describes the background and context that led Bronfenbrenner to develop his framework, illustrates a wide array of potential applications, and provides activities students can do to practice applying the framework to their own experience. Honed over 25 years of teaching Bronfenbrenner’s ideas, this text will be essential reading for students across the behavioral and social sciences.
Download or read book Fitness Measures and Health Outcomes in Youth written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-12-10 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical fitness affects our ability to function and be active. At poor levels, it is associated with such health outcomes as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Physical fitness testing in American youth was established on a large scale in the 1950s with an early focus on performance-related fitness that gradually gave way to an emphasis on health-related fitness. Using appropriately selected measures to collected fitness data in youth will advance our understanding of how fitness among youth translates into better health. In Fitness Measures and Health Outcomes in Youth, the IOM assesses the relationship between youth fitness test items and health outcomes, recommends the best fitness test items, provides guidance for interpreting fitness scores, and provides an agenda for needed research. The report concludes that selected cardiorespiratory endurance, musculoskeletal fitness, and body composition measures should be in fitness surveys and in schools. Collecting fitness data nationally and in schools helps with setting and achieving fitness goals and priorities for public health at an individual and national level.
