Direcionado a profissionais que trabalham com o corpo, este livro expõe os princípios teóricos das ciências do movimento - como biomecânica, aprendizagem motora e fisiologia do exercício - e os relaciona com o inovador método da força dinâmica. Segundo seus criadores, garantir uma postura adequada significa favorecer uma boa aplicação de força nos gestos - o que depende da interferência na percepção corporal e no controle motor da marcha e de outros gestos cotidianos. Desse modo, é possível organizar a transmissão de força entre as articulações e os ossos a fim de preservar os tecidos corporais e melhorar a estética, o condicionamento físico e o desempenho motor. Imagens e exercícios complementam a obra, tornando-a extremamente didática.
Proposta terapêutica e, ao mesmo tempo, pedagógica, o Método Corpo Intenção é um instrumento para o autoconhecimento e a superação de obstáculos físicos, comportamentais e mentais. Neste livro, Denise de Castro elenca as principais influências de seu trabalho pioneiro, explica seu modo de atuar com os pacientes – bebês, crianças, jovens e adultos, individualmente ou em grupo – e expõe as etapas de sua abordagem: reconhecer, problematizar, operar a forma e simultaneidade. Trata-se de uma nova forma de abordar o ser humano e suas várias "camadas". Ao ajudar o paciente a tornar-se consciente de si e do ambiente, a autora permite que ele amadureça em todos os sentidos, tornando-o mais saudável e aberto a experiências com o outro. Influenciada por fisioterapeutas e terapeutas corporais como Godelieve Denys-Struyf e Stanley Keleman, pela filosofia e pela dança, Denise generosamente oferece aos profissionais do corpo toda sua sabedoria. Apresenta, ainda, sequências práticas e fotografias de momentos clínicos reais.
This book is based on the conference on Movement and Cognition held in July 2018 at the Joseph B. Martin Center at Harvard Medical School in Boston, where an opportunity was provided for researchers and practitioners from various disciplines to share their knowledge and experience in an academic environment that has supported learning and social change for hundreds of years. In this book, readers will find all the abstracts from this conference gathered together in this publication, which the authors hope will be of interest to the scientific community.
Resistance training has moved from the universe of personal experiences, superficiality and common sense, to systematized, rational and experimentation-focused knowledge. This book is the fruit of this reality. Physical activity enthusiasts and professionals will find from a brief review of the principles of training to the fine adjustments of resistance training such as: range of motion, exercise dose and selection of the stimulus. Many people give up resistance training because they do not obtain the expected results. Through this didactic and profound work, the variables will be exposed and the paths to the best program will be pointed out. Criticism of obsolete models, paradigms breaking...
This book is a collection of the life's work and essential teachings of Jigoro Kano, who founded Kodokan Judo in Tokyo in 1882. Kodokan Judo was for Kano the culmination of a lifelong devotion to the jujutsu of the past, which he reorganized along educational lines while taking great care to retain its classical traditions. In doing so, he opened the path from jutsu (skill) to do (way), and broadened the horizons of knowledge until he reached the point at which he began to advocate seiryoku zenyo (maximum efficiency) and jita kyoei (mutual prosperity), which represent the universality and ideal of human existence, and are the core values of judo.

To speak of neuropsychology is to speak of one of the branches that has experienced the most growth in the past few years since it makes use of the advances of not only psychology but also those of neuroscience. The field of neuropsychology embraces theoretical aspects as well as those in practice regarding disorders and traumas. This is a field that is ever more in demand due to the great benefits that it offers to patients. Translator: Susana Hyder PUBLISHER: TEKTIME
This book is based on the conference on "Movement and Cognition" held in July 2019 at the Tel Aviv University in Israel, where an opportunity was provided for researchers, clinicians and practitioners from various disciplines to share their knowledge and experience in an academic environment. In this book you will find all the abstracts from this conference gathered in one publication. We believe that movement facilitates cognition throughout the life span and hope that this book will be of interest to both researcher, clinicians, practitioners and other people who are interested in the issue of movement and the brain.
