Exercise Psychology - The Influence of Physical Exercise On Psychological Processes (Hardcover): P Seraganian Exercise Psychology - The Influence of Physical Exercise On Psychological Processes (Hardcover)
P Seraganian
R7,778 Discovery Miles 77 780 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The conviction that physical fitness and regular exercise are essential to mental health is by no means new. Such a belief is integral to the philosophy of the ancient Chinese art of Tai Chi, as well as the Indian discipline of Yoga. Similarly, in the West, the roots of such thinking can be traced back more than two thousand years to the Golden Age Greeks for whom daily, vigorous exercise was considered indispensable to both the physical and mental well-being of young and old alike. Nevertheless, the link between exercise and mental health and psychological processes in general has only recently come to be considered a legitimate area of scientific research - a fact attested to by the recent formation of a Division of Exercise and Sport Psychology by the American Psychological Association. Bringing together contributions by specialists in the three increasingly convergent disciplines of health psychology, physical education, and exercise physiology, this book examines the state-of-the-art theory and practice in the exciting new field of exercise psychology. Organized into three sections covering history and theory, research approaches and findings, and applications, Exercise Psychology offers a balanced presentation of the various orientations and methodologies of each related discipline. In this sense, Exercise Psychology is the first truly interdisciplinary work in the field. Among key topics covered in the methodology section are the various approaches to measurement and analysis of the link between physical activity and psychological states; how best to review the research literature from a variety of diverse subspecialties; and the underlying rationale and practical implementationof meta-analysis. Chapters in the applications section offer an up-to-date summary of important practical advances in such areas as the use of aerobic exercise to slow down cognitive decline with age; the advantages of regular physical activity for the psychological welfare of growing children; the use of aerobic exercise in the rehabilitation of psychological disorders and substance abuse, and more. Timely, comprehensive, and authoritative, Exercise Psychology is an indispensable tool for clinical, physiological, developmental and educational psychologists, health physiologists, clinical social workers, physicians, and all other mental and physical health professionals.

From Cameron Diaz, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Body Book, comes a fresh, personal, and authoritative examination of the art and science of growing older and a roadmap for abundant health and resilience as we age.

When Cameron Diaz wrote The Body Book, she was on a mission to help educate young women about how their bodies function, empowering them to make better-informed choices about their health instead of heeding the advice of the latest headline or trend. So she interviewed doctors, scientists, nutritionists and a host of other experts, and then shared what she’d learned with young women everywhere in a comprehensive volume hailed as ‘smart’, ‘brimming with science’ and ‘the real deal’.

Once again Cameron Diaz is on a mission. But this time, she’s starting a conversation with her peers on a topic that is virtually taboo in our society: the ageing female body. In The Longevity Book, she will share everything she’s learned about the ageing process from top medical experts and researchers, as well as her own thoughts, opinions, and experiences on a topic that is as essential to our health as it is emotionally charged and culturally neglected.

The Longevity Book will explore what history, biology, neuroscience and the women’s health movement can teach us about maintaining optimal health as we transition from our thirties to midlife. From how growing older impacts various bodily systems to the biological differences in the way ageing effects men and women; the latest science on telomeres and slowing the rate of cognitive decline to how meditation heals us and why love, friendship and laughter matter for health.

The Longevity Book will offer an all-encompassing, holistic look at how the female body ages – and what we can all do to age better. Cameron offers women a compassionate, informative and intimate tour through the next volume of life.

Running Up That Hill is a celebration of endurance running. Of running ridiculous distances - through cities, over mountains and across countries. Distances most people couldn't even imagine. But sports presenter Vassos Alexander is hooked!

Why else would he run an ultra in Paris, backwards, having missed the start? Why head to Wales for the world's hardest mountain race with a badly sprained ankle? And why follow in some unforgiving, ancient footsteps and attempt the oldest and toughest footrace on earth, the 153-mile Spartathlon?

There's joy to be found here. Really there is. Vassos recalls his own assaults on these gruelling races, along with ultra-running legends including Scott Jurek, Jasmin Paris, Kilian Jornet, Mimi Anderson and Dean Karnazes. They all testify to the transformative power of endurance running.

It's about the astonishing highs that come from pushing your body to the limit. The confidence and peace when you challenge yourself and succeed. All told, this is a cracking tale of what keeps ultra-distance runners running, mile after mile after mile.

Shawn Talbott
R361 R342 Discovery Miles 3 420 Save R19 (5%) Ships in 18 - 22 working days

"The Secret of Vigor: How to Overcome Burnout, Restore Metabolic Balance, and Reclaim Your Natural Energy" is a proven and powerful, cutting-edge, 7-day program that can counter the effects of chronic stress to help people:
1. restore balance in the body
2. improve mental/physical energy
3. reduce fatigue
4. alleviate depression
5. sharpen mental focus
6. lose weight
7. manage their risk of diabetes, cancer and heart disease
Millions of North Americans complain of feeling tired, stressed, or depressed.
Their daily routine is hectic and stressful, they suffer from constant fatigue, rarely sleep well, continue to gain weight, and at least occasionally are moody. In short, they are lacking in something that psychology researchers call "Vigor."
Vigor is defined as "a 3-tiered sustained mood state characterized by physical energy, mental acuity, and emotional well-being." Vigor is a true measure of wellness because it encompasses much more than simply feeling energetic or being in a good mood or having a sharp mind. People with high levels of vigor are those can-do individuals who get things done - they're motivated. For many people, however, vigor is a state that they have not experienced in many years.
Chronic stress plays a major role in disrupting vigor. Talbott explains that we can dramatically reduce stress, cut fatigue and improve vigor by achieving Oxidative Balance, Stress Hormone Balance, Blood Sugar Balance, and Inflammatory Balance which he refers to as the "Four Pillars of Health." His approach to achieving this is similar to the highly practical and approachable nutrition and supplementation plan in his earlier book, "The Cortisol Connection," but is based on his last ten years of research helping people feel and perform better.
The "Four Pillars of Health" - Oxidation balance, Glycation balance, Inflammation balance and Metabolic balance - are closely linked and affect each other. The program in this book addresses each in turn and also describes how to monitor them all and keep them working together.
Oxidation balance - balancing the free radicals and antioxidants in the body - is necessary to limit cell and DNA damage in every tissue and organ in the body. We can control free-radical exposure and the cellular oxidation (damage) that it causes through a balanced dietary intake of antioxidant nutrients.
Glycation balance - balancing the inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines
- is needed to prevent sugar (glucose) molecules becoming attached to protein molecules, inhibiting their normal functioning. Simple nutritional steps to control blood sugar help to restore blood sugar balance and reduce glycation throughout the body.
Inflammation balance - balancing insulin activity and blood glucose levels.
Inflammation is a normal metabolic process with many life-sustaining benefits. However, if it becomes overactive or misdirected, our bodies can fall into a hyper-inflammatory state leading to pain, stiffness, gastrointestinal problems, and brain fog. Controlling inflammation also helps to balance oxidation, glycation, and cellular stress.
Metabolic balance - correcting imbalance between cortisol and testosterone.
Cortisol is the body's primary stress hormone. Cortisol overexposure leads to a reduction in testosterone levels, and this metabolic imbalance invariably leads to a cascading "domino effect" of increase oxidaton, glycation, and inflammation. In many ways, Metabolic Balance (the ratio between cortisol and testosterone) is the "master controller" among the Four (metabolic) Pillars of Health
What most of us understand as "aging" - wrinkling skin, thinning hair, spreading waistlines, diminished sex drive and decreasing mood and energy levels- is in fact basically a progressive fall in our Vigor.
"The Secret of Vigor: How to Overcome Burnout, Restore Metabolic Balance, and Reclaim Your Natural Energy" contains a "Vigor Self-Test" for testing the reader's level of vigor, and Talbott also suggests easy tips everyone can do to counteract stress such as "leave the cellphone behind" or "get a pet," among others. Perhaps most important is Talbott's 7-Day Vigor Improvement Program (VIP) where he challenges readers to put their new knowledge to the test through his SENSE approach: Stress management, exercise, nutrition, supplements, and evaluation.
Burnout and chronic stress are epidemics in the United States. Both conditions affect millions of men, women and children, and the numbers of those affected are growing. "The Secret of Vigor: How to Overcome Burnout, Restore Metabolic Balance, and Reclaim Your Natural Energy" will help the reader combat these two conditions and their complications. This 7-day plan for improving vigor has proven results. Thousands of men, women and children have seen its quick results.
