Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans notre société qui valorise la beauté et la performance, les seniors ont le souci d'entretenir leur corps, notamment par un engagement dans des activités physiques et sportives qui ont aussi pour objectif de les maintenir intégrés socialement. Quelle place occupent-ils dans les clubs sportifs ? Lors des événements sportifs, prend-on en compte les plus de 60 ans et sous quelles modalités ? Qu'en est-il des activités sportives et du souci du corps dans les maisons de retraite ? Les normes en vigueur sont-elles responsables de l'abandon de la pratique par toute une catégorie de personnes (se sentir trop vieux, se sentir en mauvaise santé) ? Si l'encadrement des activités physiques et sportives est réglementé en France, qu'en est-il véritablement des pratiques ? Quelle place occupent les professionnels ? Quelle est leur formation ? Le travail effectué par les bénévoles, leur efficacité dans de nombreux domaines ne compensent-ils pas l'absence de professionnels et ne profitent-ils pas aux usagers ? Les auteurs de cet ouvrage s'attachent à répondre à ces questions qui débouchent sur des aspects très pratiques : construire les compétences nécessaires dans l'intervention auprès de seniors. Des pistes de thèmes et d'objectifs, des exemples de situations sont ici proposés non pas comme des modèles à appliquer mais pour stimuler l'inventivité des intervenants. Ils devraient aider les professionnels (et les bénévoles) du sport à mettre en place des situations d'apprentissage permettant aux seniors de se placer individuellement dans une trajectoire de progrès et corollairement de bien-être : une perspective qui dépasse les aspects biologiques pour s'intéresser aux aspects socio-anthropologiques du vieillissement.

Download or read book Framing Age written by Iris Loffeier and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-05-12 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ageing populations have gradually become a major concern in many industrialised countries over the past fifty years, drawing the attention of both politics and science. The target of a raft of health and social policies, older people are often identified as a specific, and vulnerable, population. At the same time, ageing has become a specialisation in many disciplines - medicine, sociology, psychology, to name but three – and a discipline of its own: gerontology. This book questions the framing of old age by focusing on the relationships between policy making and the production of knowledge. The first part explores how the meeting of scientific expertise and the politics of old age anchors the construction of both individual and collective relationships to the future. Part II brings to light the many ways in which issues relating to ageing can be instrumentalised and ideologised in several public debate arenas. Part III argues that scientific knowledge itself composes with objectivity, bringing ideologies of its own to the table, and looks at how this impacts discourse about ageing. In the final part, the contributors discuss how the frames can themselves be experienced at different levels of the division of labour, whether it is by people who work on them (legislators or scientists), by people working with them (professional carers) or by older people themselves. Unpacking the political and moral dimensions of scientific research on ageing, this cutting-edge volume brings together a range of multidisciplinary, European perspectives, and will be of use to all those interested in old age and the social sciences.

Download or read book PRATIQUES SPORTIVES ET RESISTANCE AU VIEILLISSEMENT written by Raymonde Feillet and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2000-04-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'analyse porte sur les pratiques physiques et sportives des retraités, femmes et hommes de toutes conditions sociales. Cependant, l'investissement dans des exercices physiques a un double sens : résister au vieillissement mais aussi avoir une conscience accrue de ses pertes. L'objectif de la recherche a donc été de comprendre quelles étaient les valeurs réelles que les retraités, dans leurs diversités, accordaient à leurs pratiques sportives.

Download or read book Corps vieillissement et identit entre pr servation et pr sentation de soi written by Raymonde Feillet and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Envisager le corps dans son aspect purement physique demeure réducteur et conduit à l'occultation de l'âge. Le corps pour soi (la manière dont la personne se perçoit) et le corps pour les autres (livré aux regards des autres et image renvoyée par autrui) sont ici convoqués pour tenter de comprendre les mécanismes de (re)construction identitaire au cours du vieillissement. L'auteur envisage la place des activités physiques et sportives dans ce processus. En effet, relevant autant de l'idéologie dominante, associant le sport et la santé, que de mises en scène et d'expériences individuelles du corps, elles peuvent être considérées comme des analyseurs pertinents pour étudier l'écart entre les images culturelles et l'expérience intime du vieillir.

Download or read book Political Responsibility for a Globalised World written by Ernst Wolff and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2014-04-30 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to reflect on the complex practice of responsibility within the context of a globalised world and contemporary means of action. Levinas' exploration of the ethical serves as point of entry and is shown to be seeking inter-cultural political relevance through engagement with the issues of postcoloniality and humanism. Yet, Levinas fails to realise the ethical implications of the inevitable instrumental mediation between ethical meaning and political practice. With recourse to Weber, Apel and Ricoeur, Ernst Wolff proposes a theory of strategic co-responsibility for the uncertain global context of practice.

Download or read book Cognitive Aging written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most Americans, staying "mentally sharp" as they age is a very high priority. Declines in memory and decision-making abilities may trigger fears of Alzheimer's disease or other neurodegenerative diseases. However, cognitive aging is a natural process that can have both positive and negative effects on cognitive function in older adults - effects that vary widely among individuals. At this point in time, when the older population is rapidly growing in the United States and across the globe, it is important to examine what is known about cognitive aging and to identify and promote actions that individuals, organizations, communities, and society can take to help older adults maintain and improve their cognitive health. Cognitive Aging assesses the public health dimensions of cognitive aging with an emphasis on definitions and terminology, epidemiology and surveillance, prevention and intervention, education of health professionals, and public awareness and education. This report makes specific recommendations for individuals to reduce the risks of cognitive decline with aging. Aging is inevitable, but there are actions that can be taken by individuals, families, communities, and society that may help to prevent or ameliorate the impact of aging on the brain, understand more about its impact, and help older adults live more fully and independent lives. Cognitive aging is not just an individual or a family or a health care system challenge. It is an issue that affects the fabric of society and requires actions by many and varied stakeholders. Cognitive Aging offers clear steps that individuals, families, communities, health care providers and systems, financial organizations, community groups, public health agencies, and others can take to promote cognitive health and to help older adults live fuller and more independent lives. Ultimately, this report calls for a societal commitment to cognitive aging as a public health issue that requires prompt action across many sectors.

Download or read book Aging in the Past written by David I. Kertzer and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to improved food, medicine, and living conditions, the average age of the population is increasing throughout the modern industrialized world. Yet, despite the recent upsurge of scholarly interest in the lives of older people and the blossoming of historical demography, little historical demographic attention has been paid to the lives of the elderly. A landmark volume, Aging in the Past marks the emergence of the historical demographic study of aging. Following a masterly explication of the new field by Peter Laslett, leading scholars in family history and historical demography offer new research results and fresh analyses that greatly increase our understanding of aging, historically and across cultures. Focusing primarily on post-Industrial Europe and the United States, they explore a range of issues under the broad topics of living arrangements, widowhood, and retirement and mortality. This important work provides a much-needed historical perspective on and suggests possible alternative solutions to the problems of the aged.

Download or read book Paleodemography written by Robert D. Hoppa and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-30 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paleodemography is the field of enquiry that attempts to identify demographic parameters from past populations (usually skeletal samples) derived from archaeological contexts, and then to make interpretations regarding the health and well-being of those populations. However, paleodemographic theory relies on several assumptions that cannot easily be validated by the researcher, and if incorrect, can lead to large errors or biases. In this book, physical anthropologists, mathematical demographers and statisticians tackle these methodological issues for reconstructing demographic structure for skeletal samples. Topics discussed include how skeletal morphology is linked to chronological age, assessment of age from the skeleton, demographic models of mortality and their interpretation, and biostatistical approaches to age structure estimation from archaeological samples. This work will be of immense importance to anyone interested in paleodemography, including biological and physical anthropologists, demographers, geographers, evolutionary biologists and statisticians.

Download or read book Simplexity written by Alain Berthoz and published by Odile Jacob. This book was released on 2018-12-20 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Simplexity, as I understand it, is the range of solutions living organisms have found, despite the complexity of natural processes, to enable the brain to prepare an action and plan for the consequences of it. These solutions are simplifying principles that enable the processing of information or situations, by taking into account past experience and anticipating the future. They are neither caricatures, shortcuts, or summaries. They are new ways of asking questions, sometimes at the cost of occasional detours, in order to achieve faster, more elegant, more effective actions.” A. B. As Alain Berthoz demonstrates in this profoundly original book, simplicity is never easy; it requires suppressing, selecting, connecting, thinking, in order to then act in the best way possible. And what if we, in turn, are inspired by the living world to process the complexity that surrounds us? Alain Berthoz is professor at the Collège de France where he is co-director of the Laboratoire de physiologie de la perception et de l’action. [Laboratory for the physiology of perception and action]. He is a member of the French Academy of Sciences, and is the author of Le Sens du mouvement [The Brain's Sense of Movement] and La Décision [Emotion and Reason].
