Download or read book El entrenamiento de resistencia basado en zonas o reas funcionales written by Mariano García-Verdugo Delmas and published by Paidotribo. This book was released on 2019-03-15 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Se sabe que una parte importante del entrenamiento que realiza un deportista resulta inútil y solo produce fatiga. Por otra parte, los niveles de rendimiento y de entrenamiento están llegando a un punto en el que a las mejoras basadas en "entrenar cada vez más y más fuerte" les queda poco recorrido, siempre y cuando la especie humana no sufra alguna mutación. Es por ello que la tendencia actual en cuanto a las posibilidades de mejorar el rendimiento debe dirigirse hacia una mejor gestión de la energía disponible, lo que pasará por una óptima administración de las cargas de entrenamiento. En este libro se propone la metodología basada en un plan de entrenamiento modelo DIPER que resulta sencillo de aplicar y, sobre todo, no precisa de medios y recursos sofisticados. El modelo DIPER consiste en un patrón de entrenamientos basado en ocho zonas o áreas funcionales que deben ser conocidas de la forma más exacta posible y que dependen directamente de la potencia con que se aplican las cargas. Para ello, se proporcionan los conocimientos y las herramientas necesarios para establecer esos límites y transiciones de las zonas, así como para facilitar el control del entrenamiento del deportista. El libro se dirige, especialmente, a los siguientes colectivos: - Entrenadores que quieren avanzar en la aplicación de cargas de entrenamiento. - Teóricos que pretenden aumentar su preparación para enseñar sobre el entrenamiento de la resistencia. - Todo tipo de técnicos deportivos y amantes del deporte de rendimiento. - Deportistas que necesitan comprender el porqué de las cargas que les asignan sus entrenadores.
Download or read book Health Status and Health Policy written by Donald L. Patrick and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1993 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has two major objectives. The first is to propose the Health Resource Allocation Strategy as a social and political process for comparing costs and outcomes of alternative policy options in the health and medical care arena to select interventions with greatest benefit in relation to cost. The second objective is to provide a reference for state-ofthe-art development and application of health status and quality of life measures for health care policy and research, including clinical applications. Not all policy applications of health- related quality of life involve resource allocation. Thus we present guidelines to assessment for use in program evaluation, monitoring of health policy, clinical trials, and health services research.

Download or read book Pain written by Thomas Hadjistavropoulos and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2004-02-04 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This invaluable resource presents a state-of-the-art account of the psychology of pain from leading researchers. It features contributions from clinical, social, and biopsychological perspectives, the latest theories of pain, as well as basic processes and applied issues. The book opens with an introduction to the history of pain theory and the epidemiology of pain. It then explores theoretical work, including the gate control theory/neuromatrix model, as well as biopsychosocial, cognitive/behavioral, and psychodynamic perspectives. Issues, such as the link between psychophysiological processes and consciousness and the communication of pain are examined. Pain over the life span, ethno-cultural, and individual differences are the focus of the next three chapters. Pain: Psychological Perspectives addresses current clinical issues: * pain assessment and acute and chronic pain interventions; * the unavailability of psychological interventions for chronic pain in a number of settings, the use of self-report, and issues related to the implementation of certain biomedical interventions; and * the latest ethical standards and the theories. Intended for practitioners, researchers, and students involved with the study of pain in fields such as clinical and health psychology, this book will also appeal to physicians, nurses, and physiotherapists. Pain is ideal for advanced courses on the psychology of pain, pain management, and related courses that address this topic.
Download or read book Isokinetics written by Zeevi Dvir and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is over 25 years since isokinetic dynamometry was first introduced into clinical practice and exercise science. Physical therapy, in particular, has benefited significantly from this technology, which rapidly became the tool of choice in hundreds of research papers as well as the cornerstone of quantitative muscle performance assessment in the clinical setting. About 1984, the technology behind isokinetic dynamometry made considerable progress when computers were incorporated to control the hardware, that is the integral power sources and the on-line processing of mechanical signals. This enabled users to establish a common basis for carrying out eccentric contractions and to obtain comprehensive information on muscle strength immediately. This book does not pretend to cover all the topics that have been examined under isokinetics. Nor is it intended to be a quick and superficial introduction to clinical applications. Rather, it is aimed at those who have at least some experience and are at a stage where they are beginning to ask some very serious questions and would not necessarily be happy with very simple answers.

Download or read book The North American Mosaic written by Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.
