Prime Time [Audio] by Jane Fonda, Jane Fonda - Free Downloads PDF
In this inspiring and candid audio book, Fonda, #1 bestselling author, actress, and workout pioneer, gives listeners a blueprint for living well and for making the most of life, especially the second half of it.

Reviews

Fonda`s (My Life So Far) latest book on aging is a pleasant departure from the usual celebrity publications. She candidly talks about turning 70 and offers readers a step-by-step guide to create a "life review" to help plan for the road ahead. Her advice for successfully aging in "Act III" of life doesn`t differ from the usual stuff seen on TV shows and in magazines: get enough sleep, don`t abuse alcohol, exercise regularly, etc. Her most insightful contribution is to challenge women to break stereotypes of aging, to contribute to society financially, and to share the kinds of experiences that only seniors can give. It`s an upbeat,, informative book that any female boomer would enjoy reading. [See Prepub Alert, 3/7/11.] (c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Reproduction in Mammals by Colin Russell Austin (Edited by), Roger Valentine Short (Edited by) - Free Downloads PDF
In our second edition of Reproduction in Mammals, we are responding to numerous requests for a more up-to-date and rather more detailed treatment of the subject.. The first edition was accorded an excellent reception, but the Books 1 to 5 were written twelve years ago and inevitably there have been advances on many fronts since then. As before, the manner of presentation is intended to make the subject matter interesting to read and readily comprehensible to undergraduates in the biological sciences, and yet have sufficient depth to provide a valued source of information to graduates engaged in both teaching and research. Our authors have been selected from among the best known in their respective fields. Book 4 pays particular attention to genetic, environmental, behavioural and immunological mechanisms that can contribute to an animal`s overall reproductive fitness, through which natural selection must ultimately operate.

Brockport Physical Fitness Test Video by Human Kinetics, Dr Joseph Winnick - Free Downloads PDF

Teachers no longer have to adapt standard physical fitness tests to accommodate students with special needs. The all-new Brockport Physical Fitness Test (BPFT) is specifically designed to test the fitness of youths from ages 10 through 17 that have various disabilities. The manual and related materials provide teachers with everything they need to know to easily administer the test.

Years in preparation, the Brockport Test was developed through Project Target, a research study funded by the U.S. Department of Education and designed to develop a health-related, criterion-referenced physical fitness test. The Brockport Test compares scores to carefully researched and developed health standards, rather than to national averages. This way, the test administrator knows with certainty when a child meets the minimum recommendation for being fit on each test item.

The Brockport Physical Fitness Test resources are as a kit or separately. See "Related Products" to the right for ordering information about separate components.

The Brockport Physical Fitness Test Kit

The Brockport Physical Fitness Test Kit is the most complete package ever developed for fitness testing for youths with physical and mental disabilities. It includes the following:

- The comprehensive "Test Manual" that explains development of the test and testing procedures- A "Training Guide" to assist you in improving your students` fitness - "Fitness Challenge," the companion software that makes test use much easier- A video that demonstrates clearly how to use the test with this population- Curl-up strips- Skin Calipers- PACER audio CD/casette

The Brockport Physical Fitness Test Manual

The manual presents all test items that comprise the Brockport Test. This easy-to-read manual includes

- a written description of the test items, - how they are to be administered, - what equipment is needed, - ways of scoring the test, - number of trials required, - test modifications, and- recommendations for easy test administration.

The manual`s unique personalized approach allows the tester to

- identify health-related concerns, - establish the components of physical fitness to be measured, - identify test items, - create unique physical fitness profiles, and- apply standards associated with desired levels of health-related physical fitness.

The Manual includes a special chapter that presents health-related, criterion-referenced test selection guides and standards for assessing physical fitness. Standards are presented in tabular form.

In all, The Brockport Physical Fitness Test Manual is an easy-to-follow, thorough guide that makes it easier for teachers to assess the fitness levels of students with special needs. It`s also an excellent textbook for course in adapted physical education.

Fitness Challenge Software

The companion software makes BPFT use and record keeping easy. It prints out goals, results, and fitness plans for individual students, and separate reports can be generated for instructors or parents. Instructors can select from any of the 27 tests to create a test geared toward an individual or group. The software includes a technical manual that explains how the BPFT was developed and reviews the test`s standards and their validity.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS166 mhz processor32mb RAM2x CD-ROM (CD-ROM version only)PrinterWindows 95 or Windows 98

The Brockport Physical Fitness Test Training Guide

The Training Guide is designed to develop the physical fitness of youngsters with disabilities in association with results attained on the BPFT. The guide presents information regarding

- the importance of components of physical fitness for health, - how components of physical fitness are measured and evaluated in the BPFT, - the underlying changes in the body affected by the development of physical fitness, - factors influencing the development of physical fitness, and - guidelines for developing and implementing physical fitness.

Brockport Physical Fitness Test Administration Video

This video shows the proper techniques for conducting the 27 tests in the all-new BPFT, which is specifically designed to test the health-related fitness of youths from ages 10 through 17 who have various disabilities.

Recent studies of vascular biology using molecular biology techniques have started to reveal a previously unsuspected complexity of the vascular responses to nutrients and physical activity,, thus explaining at the molecular level how healthy lifestyles interact with human genes and how they affect phenotype expression, even in the case of unfavorable genes. These findings have serious implications, especially in establishing a solid scientific background for preventive strategies: for the advancement of healthy nutrition, physical activity and life habits, a thorough understanding of how drug/diet/gene interactions can act and multiply the beneficial effects of exercise is necessary. This first part of these conference proceedings is of great interest to researchers, physicians, exercise physiologists, geneticists, nutritionists, dietitians, food scientists, policy makers in government, private industry and international organizations, and public health workers worldwide.

Personalentwicklung in Der Fitness- Und Wellnessbranche [GER] by Olaf Streng - Free Downloads PDF
Heute wird die Personalentwicklung als strategisches Instrument der Organisationsentwicklung und Unternehmensplanung bereits in vielen gr eren Unternehmen eingesetzt. Doch besonders in kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen der Fitness- und Wellnessbranche wurde diese Erfordernis f r den Unternehmenserfolg bisher kaum gesehen, da man vor allem kunden- und marktorientiert agiert. Zwar werden dort schon heute einige Personalentwicklungsinstrumentesinstrumente eingesetzt, diese aber eher unkoordiniert und ohne ausreichende berpr fung der Wirksamkeit. Olaf Streng untersucht in dieser Studie die Frage, wie die Personalentwicklung in kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen aus betriebsp dagogischer Sicht professionalisiert werden kann. Dabei wird das Thema Professionalisierung der Personalentwicklung nicht nur in der Theorie behandelt, sondern auch an einem renommierten Unternehmen in der Praxis untersucht. Durch die Zusammenarbeit mit der Unternehmensgruppe Pfitzenmeier konnte die Fragestellung wir folgt differenziert werden: Kann Personalentwicklung, so wie sie aus betriebsp dagogischer Sicht verstanden wird, in der Fitnessbranche installiert werden? Wie kann die Personalentwicklung in der Fitnessbranche aus betriebsp dagogischer Sicht professionalisiert werden? Mit dieser speziellen Themenauswahl verkn pfte der Verfasser der Arbeit den Wunsch, nicht nur eine wissenschaftliche Arbeit f r die Ablage in einer Bibliothek zu schreiben, sondern eine Arbeit zu erstellen, die Auswirkungen f r die Praxis hat. Denn: "Betriebsp dagogik wird erst durch den Praxistransfer lebendig."

Building Organizational Fitness by Ryuji Fukuda - Free Downloads PDF
Undoubtedly, the most urgent task for companies today is to take a hard look at the future. To remain competitive, management must nurture a strong capability for self development and a strong corporate culture, both of which form part of the foundation for improvement. But simply understanding management techniques doesn`t mean you know how to use them. You need the tools and technologies for implementation.In.In Building Organizational Fitness, Ryuji Fukuda extends the power of his managerial engineering methodology into the context of the top management strategic planning role. Published here for the first time, the author provides information on the evolution of his CEDAC methods for use in strategic planning and implementation. The book introduces several key management technologies and describes their successful application in many Japanese, American and European companies, including: P/O (Policy Objective) Matrix, SEDAC (Structure for Enhancing Daily Activities through Creativity), Window Analysis ( a method for classifying and analyzing problem for a view point of management actions required), and Stockless Production (an approach to reduce work-in-process and lead time in an effective and easy-to-understand manner).

Zone Mind, Zone Body by Roy Palmer - Free Downloads PDF
No doubt you`ve experienced times in your sport when you feel `in the moment` or `in the Zone`. Achieving peak performance seems easy. But when we lose that state we once again find ourselves putting in a lot of effort for little gain. This book shows us how we can rediscover the elusive Zone whenever we choose - by using our mind as well as our body. We build up bad habits based on what feels `right` to us, even if we`re not consciously aware of it. But it is these habits that hold us back and lead to inconsistent performance and repetitive injury. By pausing to notice what we`re doing, before we do it, we can enter the Zone at will, achieving previously unattainable levels of performance. Roy Palmer takes us into the unknown, past what has always felt comfortable for us. He helps us define the Zone, examines what stops us reaching it and describes techniques for turning things around when they go `wrong`. He then translates the latest scientific research into practical and easy steps for overcoming poor performance, frustration and disillusionment. Sharing his first-hand experiences, he shows how we can leave injury behind for good, develop greater self-awareness and focus, and apply the same techniques in many other areas of our lives, too. How to break through to new levels of fitness and performance - by doing less! "In this terrific book Roy Palmer succeeds where many have failed: namely to talk about `the zone` coherently, elegantly and best of all practically." Malcom Balk, author of Master The Art of Running "This book will be a very useful addition to the tool kit of any coach or performer." Greg Chappell MBE, Former Australian Cricket Captain and current Indian National Cricket Coach From the Author

This book is the result of ten years research in to this fascinating area. I was curious as to why one day I could run the perfect race whilst the next I was totally useless! Working with sports people I realized I wasn`t the only one to be frustrated by this phenomenon. I found one common factor that hugely influenced performance and stopped us from getting into The Zone. What really surprised me was that, like myself, not one athlete had been previously aware of it! Here I cover in detail my research, theories and practical techniques. It will not only show you what the `unknown factor` is, but how you can take control to your advantage.

World Review of Nutrition and Dietetics: v.72: 2nd International Conference on Nutrition and Fitness, Athens, May 1992 by Artemis P. Simopoulos (Volume editor) - Free Downloads PDF
This is the second of two volumes recording the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Nutrition and Fitness,, Athens, May 23-25, 1992, and the declaration of Olympia on nutrition and fitness developed at Ancient Olympia, May 26-27, 1992. The companion volume is "World Review of Nutrition and Dietetics, Vol. 71". This volume emphasizes the importance of genetics, nutrition and physical activity in the control of chronic diseases, namely cardiovascular disease, obesity and osteoporosis. It illustrates how atherosclerosis can be reversed, and obesity better controlled or even prevented, through metabolic interactions brought about by the combination of specific diet and physical activity. New concepts on nutritional requirements are not limited to the deficiency model, and evidence is presented that vitamin C requirement is best determined through in situ kinetics. The final section in the book presents policies and programmes on nutrition and fitness in selected countries, making clear the need for national governments to combine or coordinated programmes and policy.
