Abstract

Im Rahmen der Motorik-Modulstudie (Teilmodul de bundesweiten, repräsentativen KiGGS-Studie des Robert Koch-Instituts in Berlin) werden Daten zur motorischen Leistungsfähigkeit und zur körperlich-sportlichen Aktivität von Kindern und Jugendlichen in Deutschland erhoben. Der vorliegende Leitfaden soll Sportwissenschaftlern/innen, Lehrern/innen, Übungsleitern/innen und weiteren Fachkräften die Möglichkeit geben, die im Motorik-Modul verwendeten Tests im Rahmen eigener Studie einzusetzen. The primary goal of the Motorik-Modul (MoMo) is to analyse the developmental and historical/periodic trends in physical fitness and physical activity and their underlying determinants. Furthermore, MoMo investigates the effects of physical fitness and physical activity on the progression of health in children and adolescents. This manual describes the motor performance tests used in the MoMo-study.

Abstract

According to the President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, "If exercise could be packaged into a pill, it would be the single most widely prescribed and beneficial medicine in the nation." Yet the incorporation of physical activity into a regular routine proves difficult for many. Bringing together a field of experts, Doing Exercise Psychology uses applied theories alongside authentic client interactions to address the challenging psychological components of physical activity. Doing Exercise Psychology helps students understand how to build connections with individual clients, strengthen the professional relationship through listening, and understand clients' needs. The text features diverse topics, bridging health psychology and exercise psychology and demonstrating the increasingly important role of physical activity in overall wellness and health. The first chapter is devoted to the development of mindfulness as a practitioner, while another addresses the difficulties professionals encounter with their own inactivity, encouraging self-reflection in order to be more helpful and open with clients. A key feature of many chapters in Doing Exercise Psychology is the in-the-trenches dialogue between practitioner and client, accompanied by follow-up commentary on what went right and what went wrong in particular sessions. Through these real-world scenarios, students will witness firsthand the methods that are most effective in communicating with clients. The text also explores complex questions such as these: What are the implications and consequences of using exercise as a component of psychological therapies? How can practitioners help clients with impaired movement abilities as a result of chronic conditions or illness embrace physical activity as part of their therapy or their lives? How can exercise be incorporated in therapies to change nutrition, smoking, and alcohol habits? Why are some exercise protocols that are extremely effective for some but not for others? How can relationships, interrelatedness, and attunement to others be vehicles for healthy change in whatever kind of therapy is being done? The book is arranged so that information flows progressively, covering major themes early and then applying them to the field. Part I introduces the relationship-building motif by covering the variety of relationships that one might find in exercise and physical activity settings. Part II addresses specific conditions and behavior change, with suggestions for encouraging activity in those who are also working to quit smoking, reduce alcohol consumption, or modify their nutrition habits. Part III deals directly with chronic and major medical conditions that professionals will contend with on a regular basis, including cancer, heart disease, and multiple sclerosis. Part IV delves into the dark side of exercise, such as overtraining, exercise dependence, and eating disorders. A growing and exciting area of study, exercise psychology covers all the psychosocial, intra- and interpersonal, and cultural variables that come into play when people get together and exercise. Students and practitioners who work with individuals in exercise settings will find Doing Exercise Psychology a vital resource to refer to repeatedly in their practice.

Abstract

Client-Centered Exercise Prescription, Third Edition, emphasizes a personalized approach to exercise in which unique programs meet the interests and needs of individual clients. This resource will help you to prescribe exercise and guide clients in adopting, enjoying, and maintaining active lifestyles. Client-Centered Exercise Prescription, Third Edition, expands the role of the fitness professional from simple exercise prescription to include activity counseling, design modification, exercise demonstration, functionally integrated exercise, injury prevention, and follow-up monitoring for a variety of clients. Central to the book are seven client-centered models for each major fitness component that serve as a template of options for each decision in the prescription process: activity counseling, musculoskeletal exercise design, exercise demonstration, cardiovascular exercise prescription, resistance training prescription, muscle balance and flexibility prescription, and weight management prescription. The text explains the vital role that functionally integrated exercise plays in improving performance and maintaining musculoskeletal health and teaches how to recognize muscle imbalance and prevent complications. Fitness professionals will learn to make informed, client-centered decisions and address the following issues: Establishing rapport and increasing adherence by prescribing exercise programs that match clients' desires, needs, and lifestyles; Understanding clients' unique psychological needs and using that information to keep them motivated; Monitoring clients' needs both as they are originally presented and as they evolve over time; Applying strategies for treating and preventing overuse injuries so that clients avoid injury and frustration, thereby avoiding withdrawal from the program; Addressing the unique considerations of aging clients, including musculoskeletal conditions and functional mobility. The third edition of Client-Centered Exercise Prescription retains the client-centered approach of previous editions, offering simulated initial interviews with clients, teaching cues for demonstration, sample sessions, and sample counseling dialogue. The text also features numerous updates: More than 40 reproducible forms included in the text and duplicated in printable format in the web resource that can be shared with clients; Applied exercise prescription worksheets that facilitate the flow from the prescription models to the prescription card; Three new chapters on exercise prescription for aging adults that offer specific exercise recommendations for this growing demographic; Expanded sections on applied nutrition, reliable field tests, safety and referrals, and a unique biomechanical approach to exercise modifications and functional progressions; Five new case studies and other updated case studies that allow you to grasp how the material may be used in practice; Theory to Application sidebars, numerous photos, and chapter summaries that will engage you and help you find the most relevant information. Using reliable field tests, practical nutrition guidelines, and applied exercise physiology concepts, this text will help both professionals and students better serve their current and future clients. Candidates preparing for certification exams, including the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology Certified Personal Trainer (CSEP-CPT) exam, will find comprehensive treatment of the theory and applications covering the competencies required before entering the field. Practical examples, applied models, and scientific knowledge also make the text accessible to undergraduate students in fitness, exercise science, and health promotion programs.
