Exercise and Cancer Survivorship

Impact on Health Outcomes and Quality of Life

Produktform: Buch / Einband - fest (Hardcover)

An increasing number of exercise scientists are applying their skills collaboratively (with medics and physiotherapists) to clinical populations and investigating the effects of exercise in relation to wide-ranging clinical, pathophysiological and psycho-social outcomes. This book would be a very useful resource for students of Exercise Science and Physiotherapy, as well as practitioners working with cancer patients. The book is aimed at final year Undergraduate and Master's level students of Exercise Science, who are interested in working with clinical populations such as cancer patients. Many university Sport and Exercise Science courses in the UK and USA now have modules which are focused on exercise for health, and cover aspects of exercise science which are appropriate for clinical populations. The book would also be a very valuable resource for Undergraduate and Postgraduate Physiotherapy courses. There are an increasing amount of research opportunities for exercise scientists who are interested in working with clinical populations. Furthermore, a considerable amount of Government and Charity research funding is being targeted at active lifestyles and this is helping to generate a new culture of collaboration between exercise scientists and medics. Hence, it is highly likely that an increasing number of students from Sport and Exercise Science courses will pursue careers within the clinical realm in the future. Practicing exercise therapists, clinical exercise physiologists and physiotherapists would also find lots of useful up-to-date knowledge to support their evidence-based clinical practice. This book would also be of interest to informed readers who are themselves undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment. This means that the potential market in the UK, USA and other English-speaking nations is huge. Here is a list of the books currently in use in these courses: ACSM's Exercise Management for Persons With Chronic Diseases and Disabilities (American College of Sport Medicine). ACSM's Resources for Clinical Exercise Physiology (American College of Sport Medicine). Clinical Exercise Physiology, Edited by Ehrman JK, Gordon PM, Visich PS, Keteyian SJ. (Human Kinetics). Clinical Exercise Physiology: Applications and Physiological Principles, edited by LeMura LM, von Dullivard SP (Lippincott, Williams and Wilkins). Clinical Exercise Testing and Prescription, Edited by Roberts SO, Robergs RA, Hanson P (CRC Press, LLC).weiterlesen
