Esta obra apresenta produtos de pesquisa de Mestrado e Doutorado do Laboratório de Biociências da Motricidade Humana, que geraram de teses de doutorado dos autores e orientados pelos organizadores com o principal objetivo a melhora da qualidade de vida da população IDOSA. Esta parcela da população que mais necessita se manter autônoma física e cognitivamente. A participação de programas de exercícios tem sido a estratégia mais efetiva, de baixo custo e divertida.
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.
Completely revised and updated, this edition presents the principles and methodology of assessing both joint range of motion (ROM)/goniometry and manual muscle strength for the head, neck, trunk, and extremities. Each chapter is devoted to a separate anatomical region and provides knowledge of pertinent surface anatomy and deep anatomy. Excellent photography and illustrations enhance comprehension of techniques and serve as a self-learning tool. New to this edition: New vertical format; second-color added to line art; 200 new photographs; detailed coverage of ROM and muscle length assessment and measurement for each body region; comprehensive coverage of end feels for each joint motion; and chapter relating assessment methods to treatment techniques and activities of daily living. A useful resource for assessment and treatment!

O objetivo deste livro é provocar uma reflexão que aumente a aplicação e a discussão sobre a ênfase que norteia a necessidade do movimento corporal, com um olhar para a saúde humana. Para isso, utilizou-se diferentes métodos de pesquisas científicas, entre eles: a pesquisa descritiva, a pesquisa experimental, os relatos de casos e a pesquisa bibliográfica, para buscar um melhor entendimento dessa necessidade com uma visão não estética, que está baseado em evidências científicas. Os resultados são estudos realizados por acadêmicos e professores universitários que mostram as possibilidades aumentadas da influência da atividade física e do exercício físico controlado sobre os distintos problemas de saúde, evidenciando, ainda, que a inatividade física aumenta as chances de instalação e agravos de doenças. A conclusão mostra que, de fato, o ser humano precisa adquirir hábitos de vida saudáveis, com ênfase no olhar para o exercício físico, aumentando, com isso, as chances de se ter uma vida feliz em todas as suas fases.
CONSERVATION BIOGEOGRAPHY The Earth’s ecosystems are in the midst of an unprecedented period of change as a result of human action. Many habitats have been completely destroyed or divided into tiny fragments, others have been transformed through the introduction of new species, or the extinction of native plants and animals, while anthropogenic climate change now threatens to completely redraw the geographic map of life on this planet. The urgent need to understand and prescribe solutions to this complicated and interlinked set of pressing conservation issues has lead to the transformation of the venerable academic discipline of biogeography – the study of the geographic distribution of animals and plants. The newly emerged sub-discipline of conservation biogeography uses the conceptual tools and methods of biogeography to address real world conservation problems and to provide predictions about the fate of key species and ecosystems over the next century. This book provides the first comprehensive review of the field in a series of closely interlinked chapters addressing the central issues within this exciting and important subject.
This e-book brings together 13 chapters written by aviation English researchers and practitioners settled in six different countries, representinginstitutions and universities from around the globe. This e-book is an offshoot of the 8th GEIA Seminar, that counts on the collaboration of GEIA and ICAEA researchers, as well as guest speakers. It brings together thirteen chapters focused on aviation language description, teaching, and assessment, written by practitioners from several institutions around the globe. One of our guests and a keynote speaker, Prof. Eric Friginal, added the excellent contribution of his graduate students from Georgia State University, in the USA, and kindly wrote the ...
