The improvement of exercise performance in sports not only involves the enhancement of physical strength, but also includes the development of psychological and cognitive functions. There is an increasing body of evidence to show that physical exercise is a powerful way to improve a number of aspects of cognition and brain function at the systemic and behavioral levels. Yet, several questions remain: What type of exercise program is optimal for improving cognitive functions? What are the real effects of certain innovative exercise protocols on the relationship between behavior and the brain? To what extent do ergogenic aids boost cognitive function? How efficient are neuromodulation techniqu...
The year 2019 has been prolific in terms of new evidence regarding the effects of coffee and caffeine consumption on diverse aspects of human functioning. This book collects 20 high-quality manuscripts published in Nutrients that include original investigation or systematic review studies of the effects of caffeine intake on human performance and health. The diversity of the articles published in this Special Issue highlights the extent of the effects of coffee and caffeine on human functioning, while underpinning the positive nature of most of these effects. This book will help with understanding why the natural sources of caffeine are so widely present in the nutrition behaviors of modern society.
A diversidade temática: Bioética, Saúde e Inclusão, suscitada pela programação e adesão de congressistas, levou o coordenador do Programa de Bioética, professor Dr. Mário Antonio Sanches, a convocar uma chamada à participação da Coletânea que fará parte da Série Bioética (CRV / SBB). Deste modo, o presente livro com o tema Bioética e Acesso à Saúde, nasce com o desígnio de aprofundar as questões relacionadas a bioética, saúde, políticas públicas e inclusão no contexto brasileiro. A obra reúne estudos de reconhecimento nacional de graduandos, mestrandos, mestres, doutorandos e doutores, das ciências da saúde e das ciências humanas, dedicados a elaborar e desenvolver ciência em concordância com a ética, bioética e biotecnologia, voltada à Saúde integral e ao amplo sentido da vida. Trata-se de uma publicação interinstitucional, de modo a ampliar a discussão sobre o tema a partir de diferentes visões acadêmicas.
O livro 'Biodinâmica do Movimento Humano: Reflexão, Memória-História, Contextos, Produção do Conhecimento' apresenta 37 textos, produzidos no todo e ou em parte, pelos integrantes do programa de pós-graduação stricto sensu em Educação Física da Universidade Federal do Maranhão (PPGEF/UFMA), ou seja, pesquisadores permanentes, colaboradores, alunos e parceiros. Para isto foi organizado em 4 partes, sendo: a parte 1 com um texto envolvendo a reflexão para a matematização dos estudos em relação as várias variáveis nas investigações referente ao esporte e a saúde. A parte 2 com dois textos, um envolvendo a recuperação da memória do futebol de areia, e outro uma narrativ...
