Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent times, the ASEP (American Society of Exercise Physiologists) leaders have developed and implemented academic standards to promote professionalism in academic programs throughout the U.S. The effort represents a significant change in the scope and the monitoring of the exercise physiologists' accountability. Through these new standards, all academic exercise physiologists are challenged by ASEP to accept responsibility for promoting the professionalization and self-regulation that will lead to lead to improved client and patient care when prescribing exercise medicine. Accreditation helps to reduce unnecessary variation within and between academic programs. Moreover, given the collaborative improvement in academic programs and faculty responsibility to the undergraduate students, the quality of their educational care will be significantly improved. Academic exercise physiologists must take responsibility for where exercise physiology is today and take responsibility to the evolving state of exercise physiology and student market-driven career opportunities in exercise medicine. Advancing the Profession of Exercise Physiology provides understanding and guidance on the importance and the significance of academic leadership in promoting the profession of exercise physiology as a healthcare profession that is founded on professionalism, accreditation, ethical practice, and entrepreneurial skills. This new volume examines the ethical need for professionalism in exercise physiology, which is, in turn, imperative for future growth and sustainability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Exercise Physiology identifies the key scientific content that is critically important to the successful practice of exercise physiology. This text introduces students to the scientific basis for the practice of exercise physiology to prevent or control mind-body diseases, to promote health and well-being, and to enhance athlete performance. The goal of this text is to embrace a new paradigm of exercise physiology as a comprehensive healthcare profession. Introduction to Exercise Physiology emphasizes sound scientific content that will help exercise physiologists design appropriate exercise prescription that focuses on the public health challenges of sedentary living. In addition, the text enables students to understand the effects of sports nutrition and athletic performance by examining exercise metabolism, fuel utilization, and cardiovascular functions and adaptations from a non-performance enhancing supplement perspective. Specific physiologic calculations are presented to teach students how to monitor exercise intensity, as well as to improve the safety and credibility of client-specific test protocols, health and fitness training programs, and athletic competitions. Introduction to Exercise Physiology teaches students the necessary physiologic, electrocardiographic, biomechanic, and anatomic concepts to prepare for and pass the ASEP Board Certification exam.Key Features: Chapters are organized into the following seven major areas in accordance with the emphasis on exercise as medicine:I. Scientific Aspects of Exercise PhysiologyII. Training the Cardiorespiratory and Muscular SystemsIII. Training and PerformanceIV. Exercise Is MedicineV. Exercise BiomechanicsVI. Anatomy of Sports and ExerciseVII. The Profession of Exercise PhysiologyEach chapter begins with an overview of the chapter objectives presented in the form of individual questions Chapters conclude by providing students with a list of key terms, a chapter outline, glossary, study questions, suggested readings and references to further student learning Includes a discussion around the importance of exercise physiology as a profession and covers the future challenges for exercise physiologists, the basics of the change process and the importance of a professional organization

This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Watching TV, surfing the Internet, and sitting for long hours have replaced more active pursuits. Millions of Americans are simply not moving enough to meet the minimum threshold for good health and longevity. Exercise physiologists have researched and highlighted this fact for decades. That is why they emphasize the importance of regular exercise in the prevention of chronic diseases associated with physical inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle. Heart disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, depression, several types of cancers, and osteoporosis can be treated or even prevented with properly prescribed exercise. There is a need for integrating exercise physiology knowledge and rehabilitation programs as a continuous part of the healthcare profession. This opens up the opportunity for new approaches to manage patients suffering from chronic diseases and disabilities. ASEP’s Exercise Medicine Text for Exercise Physiologists is designed to educate exercise physiologists about the significance of professionalism in exercise physiology, exercise medicine, and entrepreneurship opportunities. It combines scientific principles with cardiovascular calculation steps that support its use in the development of safe, well-rounded, and individualized exercise programs to help clients and patients sleep better, reduce stress, maintain a healthy body weight, keep bones strong and joints healthy, decrease the risk for colon cancer, and improve mental function. This textbook demonstrates the importance of exercise medicine, and will familiarize readers with ASEP guidelines. Exercise physiologists in training will, therefore, be prepared for contributing a meaningful role in the healthcare services sector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yoga doesn't have to be hard. And fitness doesn't have to be a grind. In fact, "yoga fitness" can be one of the most pleasurable and ease provoking journeys of your life.Yes, certain poses (asanas) are more difficult than others. And yes, doing the work to refine your health requires effort. But poses alone are Not yoga. And effort in itself doesn't necessarily result in health.Body Integration simplifies all this. The yogis our there who can bend their bodies into a pretzel with little effort are far fewer than those of us who desperately need relief from life's most basic source of suffering - Residual Tension.And comparing ourselves to those yogis only serves to deflate motivation, inspiration, and generally results in false narratives in the clients I work with. In fact, the myth that "I can't do yoga, I'm not flexible" is by far, the one thing I most often face when working clients who are looking to implement this practice of integrating body awareness and movement in their lives.The reality is, this practice is designed to work with any-Body in Any condition. My dad was one of my lab rats in the early versions of the program. He's confined to a wheel chair 99% of the time and has a partially severed spinal cord between the C4 and C5 vertebra. The refinements are instantaneous. From struggling to stand one moment. To taking a moment to integrate the body-breath connection the next and begin to stand, and transition himself from the bed to the chair the next. The results are immediate. Guaranteed every single time.Trauma that has been locked in the body, and the corresponding emotional static is the single biggest source of suffering in the world. This theory is designed to be specific to your body. Your trauma. And move you in the direction of your freedom.As a synthesis of yoga, tai chi, and exercise physiology, The Theory of Body Integration acts as paradigm of mindfulness endeavoring toward enhancing your emotional resilience. A shift in Your relationship with Your body. It's about learning to love the body you're in, and listening to the wisdom the body is offering you for your shift into a healthier, more fit, more integrated way of living. Emerging out of my practice of body awareness through movement to aid in recovering from the trauma of childhood sexual abuse, the aim of this theory is designed to facilitate both a release of residual tension, and an increase of nascent joy. If you consider that all the pain points in your body, are your body's way of calling your attention to the areas where you can benefit from a release of tension, Body Integration is a way to integrate that release into your life. Generating willingness toward developing compassion for yourself is a prerequisite in this integration. This method allows you to move more fluidly in the inherent emotional intelligence your body possesses. Compassion is the classroom in which this movement occurs. This method teaches you how to listen, and increase your awareness of all the ways you can better embody a more refined state of integrity in your breath, your body movements, and thereby your life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The 2001 edition (1st) was a comprehensive review of history, research, and discussions on religion and health through the year 2000. The Appendix listed 1,200 separate quantitative studies on religion and health each rated in quality on 0-10 scale, followed by about 2,000 references and an extensive index for rapid topic identification. The 2012 edition (2nd) of the Handbook systematically updated the research from 2000 to 2010, with the number of quantitative studies then reaching the thousands. This 2022 edition (3rd) is the most scientifically rigorous addition to date, covering the best research published through 2021 with an emphasis on prospective studies and randomized controlled trials. Beginning with a Foreword by Dr. Howard K. Koh, former US Assistant Secretary for Health for the Department of Health and Human Services, this nearly 600,000-word volume examines almost every aspect of health, reviewing past and more recent research on the relationship between religion and health outcomes. Furthermore, nearly all of its 34 chapters conclude with clinical and community applications making this text relevant to both health care professionals (physicians, nurses, social workers, rehabilitation therapists, counsellors, psychologists, sociologists, etc.) and clergy (community clergy, chaplains, pastoral counsellors, etc.). The book's extensive Appendix focuses on the best studies, describing each study in a single line, allowing researchers to quickly locate the existing research. It should not be surprising that for Handbook for the past two decades has been the most cited of all references on religion and health"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern life requires everyone to stay in shape to keep up with the wild pace. Physical fitness refers to a person's ability to adapt and cause stress that is caused by changing conditions. In such a situation, your mind or body will not disturb you in any way if you are in good physical condition. Fitness is healthy in many ways. Modern life requires good health and in order to achieve this, people have to stay in shape. But if fitness is all about healing, it is insufficient. A person must be able to adapt to any environment with suitable exercises in order to survive. This book offers people of all spiritual backgrounds powerful strategies and practical guidelines for bringing health, happiness, fitness, and purpose into their lives and the lives of others. Renowned for his ability to merge fitness and Faith, the author offers a proven methodology for establishing life-affirming beliefs, understanding Divine wisdom, tapping into the power of prayer, integrating physical fitness with the spiritual disciplines, and optimizing the power of mental and physical nutrition. This book is a must-have resource for athletes, coaches, fitness enthusiasts, spiritual seekers, and anyone interested in advancing the quality of their life.

This book was released on 2021-08-02 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religiosity and spirituality (R/S) represent a very important factor of daily life for many individuals across different cultures and contexts. It is associated with lower rates of depression, suicide, mortality, and substance abuse, and is positively correlated with well-being and quality of life. Despite growing academic recognition and scientific literature on these connections this knowledge has not been translated into clinical practice. Part of the expanding Oxford Cultural Psychiatry series, Spirituality and Mental Health Across Cultures is a timely exploration of the implications of R/S on mental health. Written and edited by 38 experts in the fields of spirituality and mental health from 11 countries, covering a wide range of cultural and geographical perspectives, this unique resource assesses how mental health relates to world religions, agnosticism, atheism, and spiritualism unaffiliated with organised religion, with a practical touch. Across 25 chapters, this resource provides readers with a succinct and trustworthy review of the latest research and how this can be applied to clinical care. The first section covers the principles and fundamental questions that relate science, history, philosophy, neuroscience, religion, and spirituality with mental health. The second section discusses the main beliefs and practices related to world religions and their implications to mental health. The third reviews the impact of R/S on specific clinical situations and offers practical guidance on how to handle these appropriately, such as practical suggestions for assessing and integrating R/S in personal history anamnesis or psychotherapy.

Download or read book Spirituality: A Very Short Introduction written by Philip Sheldrake and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-11-29 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been suggested that 'spirituality' has become a word that 'can define an era'. Why? Because paradoxically, alongside a decline in traditional religious affiliations, the growing interest in spirituality and the use of the word in a variety of contexts is a striking aspect of contemporary western cultures. Indeed, spirituality is sometimes contrasted attractively with religion, although this is problematic and implies that religion is essentially dogma, moralism, institutions, buildings, and hierarchies. The notion of spirituality expresses the fact that many people are driven by goals that concern more than material satisfaction. Broadly, it refers to the deepest values and sense of meaning by which people seek to live. Sometimes these values are conventionally religious. Sometimes they are associated with what is understood as 'the sacred' in a broader sense - that is, of ultimate rather than merely instrumental importance. This Very Short Introduction, written by one of the most eminent scholars and writers on spirituality, explores the historical foundations of the thought and considers how it came to have the significance it is developing today. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Ruse offers a new analysis of the often troubled relationship between science and religion. Arguing against both extremes - in one corner, the New Atheists; in the other, the Creationists and their offspring the Intelligent Designers - he asserts that science is the highest source of human inquiry. Yet, by its very nature and its deep reliance on metaphor, science restricts itself and is unable to answer basic, significant questions about the meaning of the universe and humankind's place within it: why is there something rather than nothing? What is the meaning of it all? Ruse shows that one can legitimately be a skeptic about these questions, and yet why it is open for a Christian, or member of any faith, to offer answers. Scientists, he concludes, should be proud of their achievements but modest about their scope. Christians should be confident of their mission but respectful of the successes of science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if growing in your faith involved more than spiritual disciplines? What if God didn't just care about your soul, but how you care for your body as well? In Faith and Fitness: Integrating Physical Health with Spiritual Growth, Certified Trainer and Functional Nutritionist Adam Braud engages these questions and more. With decades of experience in ministry and the fitness industry, this ebook is the culmination of a journey Adam has been on and has helped others through for most of his life. The book's first part, Faith, endeavors to build a Biblical foundation for why stewarding the health of our bodies is an essential part of God's desire and design for each of us. From the creation of humanity to the calling of every individual, Adam shows that pursuing physical fitness isn't simply a good or wise thing to do but is actually a part of our worship and devotion to God and those He's called us to reach, love, and impact for the gospel. In the second part, Fitness, scientific research, and practical application are provided to equip anyone with the clarity they need to begin caring for their bodies well. By focusing on the core pillars of health, Adam provides vital steps and strategies that can be implemented by any individual, no matter their age, sex, weight, or fitness background.
