      Suddenly, dramatically, and seemingly overnight, U.S. healthcare has morphed into something virtually unrecognizable. There are a slew of new requirements, regulations, goals, buzzwords, and acronyms.

But you don’t just have to cope in this new world of healthcare. Now you can learn how to thrive amid all these changes and challenges. Written by the Chief Medical Officer of one of the world's leading global healthcare data and analytics companies, Navigating Healthcare Reform: An Insider’s Guide for Nurses and Allied Health Professionals is a compelling and easy-to-follow guide to understanding our unfolding healthcare reform — including its biobehavioral and psychosocial aspects — and learning how to take advantage of the opportunities it presents.

      Quand il est soumis à l'effort physique, le corps s’adapte en mettant en place des mécanismes de régulation spécifiques. Des facteurs tels que la consommation d’oxygène ou la mobilisation des muscles changent d’un sportif à l’autre, en fonction de l’âge, du sexe ou du potentiel génétique. Il est important de connaître ces déterminations et les principes physiologiques de l’effort afin de prendre en charge les sportifs. Grâce aux 64 concepts illustrés de cet ouvrage, vous comprendrez comment : - les facteurs bio-énergétiques qui déterminent la performance, - le muscle squelettique réagit à l'effort, - optimiser la performance athlétique, - faire une évaluation ergométrique des athlètes, - prescrire des activités pour la santé, etc. Clair et synthétique cet ouvrage présente les concepts fondamentaux de la physiologie du sport sous forme de double page. Le texte est toujours accompagné d’une illustration et d’un encadré récapitulatif afin de faciliter la mémorisation. Enfin, un glossaire définit les termes à la fin du livre, et renvoie aux concepts pour plus de précisions. Que vous soyez médecin du sport, médecin rééducateur, kinésithérapeute, ou étudiant en STAPs, cet ouvrage est indispensable dans l’approche médicale du sport.
