The Pilates Effect by Stacey Redfield,Sarah Holmes Pdf

With over 9 million Americans practicing Pilates, the popular core exercise system is taking the world by storm. While many find the system helps to strengthen the core, improve posture, and recover from or prevent injuries and pain, Pilates has been clouded in controversy since the beginning. Its origin story is one of greed, ego, celebrities, and lies, with heated legal controversy that threatened the industry. In The Pilates Effect, Stacey Redfield and Sarah Holmes reveal the hidden history of Pilates. From humble beginnings, Joseph Pilates founded the groundbreaking regimen in New York City and worked closely with his partner Clara to rehabilitate and renew dancers who had been injured or were aging. Although Joseph’s core strengthening regime was touted as "fifty years ahead of [its] time," finance and health issues plagued Joe and Clara’s business. A small and devoted group of followers, including Carola Trier, would fight to spread the practice that they felt gave them a second chance at life and rehabilitated their bodies and souls. A fascinating and inspiring story of fitness in America, The Pilates Effect showcases the people and events that formed an iconic industry. Redfield and Holmes offer inspiration and practical advice for how Pilates can offer change for everyday people regardless of gender, ethnicity, or background.

Falls in Older Adults: Prevention and Risk Evaluation by Tzvi Dwolatzky Pdf

Falls are a major health challenge and represent the leading cause of accidental death in older adults. It is essential to identify those factors associated with an increased risk for falls and to develop specific programs for fall prevention. The risk of falling can be assessed in older adults using different parameters, including biological, psychosocial, socioeconomic, behavioral, and environmental factors. For example, the risk of falls increases when vision is impaired, when sleep quality is poor, or when mood is depressed. Moreover, physical parameters, such as changes in body mass and blood pressure are risk factors for falls in older adults.

Neuroethics in Principle and Praxis by Denis Larrivee Pdf

With the conclusion of the Decade of the Brain and Decade of the Mind, neuroscience has advanced well beyond single neuron functions, and begun to investigate global properties that emerge from central nervous system operation. Core ethical issues for neural intervention, in consequence, now touch on concerns over how the individual as a whole may be affected. Central to these concerns is the fundamental value of the human being, which lends normative weight to questions, interventions, and practices influencing him or her. Yet, despite wide recognition of the crucial relevance of human value, the derivation of metaethical principles that underwrite this value is by no means uniformly agreed to. Why and how the human being is normatively privileged, accordingly, emerge as core questions that frame issues of ethical praxis. This book tackles this dissonance, and exposes the philosophical foundations that are rooting contemporary divisions in ethical approaches to intervention in the nervous system.

Novel Strategies Targeting Obesity and Metabolic Diseases, Volume II by Xinran Ma,Lingyan Xu,Yan Lu,Dechun Feng,Nuo Sun,Jiqiu Wang Pdf

This Research Topic is part of the Novel Strategies Targeting Obesity and Metabolic Diseases series (Volume I). The 21st century features excessive food availability and prevalent sedentary lifestyle. Unsurprisingly, obesity has become one of the most serious problems threatening public health with a staggering morbidity/mortality rate. Obesity is the leading risk factor for a series of metabolic diseases, i.e. diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, non-alcoholic hepatic steatosis, osteoporosis and certain types of cancer. Although, theoretically, body weight could be easily controlled by the balance of food intake and caloric burning, the rapid and stressful pace of modern society has made the healthy life style of eating less and exercising more hard to achieve its popularity. Pharmacotherapeutic solutions targeting appetite or energy expenditure are limited and often with undesired and sometimes dangerous side effects. The problem becomes even more complicated when genetic susceptibility for obesity is taken into account. In result, till now, the long and intense battle for obesity-intervention still wages and we are in urgent need for effective weight-losing strategies.
