    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.

  • Conduite du bilan neuropsychologique chez l'enfant
    • 3rd Edition

    • French
    Le bilan neuropsychologique est une démarche raisonnée, s’appuyant sur des modèles scientifiques du fonctionnement cognitif de l’être humain. De ce fait, sa visée est double : établir un diagnostic et mettre en place des prises en charge adaptées. La conduite d’un bilan neuropsychologique chez l’enfant comprend de nombreuses particularités, par rapport à l’adulte. De ce fait, les étapes indispensables au diagnostic sont souvent complexes : identifier les signes d’appel, choisir les tests pertinents, authentifier les troubles, interpréter et croiser les résultats pour tenter de mettre à jour les mécanismes sous-jacents au symptôme. Cet ouvrage offre donc au praticien, en s’appuyant notamment sur l’analyse de cas pratiques cliniques, une analyse des différents tests communément utilisés, ainsi qu’un répertoire de l’éventail des compétences cognitives sollicitées par chaque épreuve, lors de l’évaluation clinique des « dys » (dysphasies, dyspraxies, TDA/H, syndromes dys-exécutifs, dyslexies, dyscalculies…). Cette troisième édition, entièrement mise à jour, comprend :- les dernières évolutions en matière de tests (en particulier, la parution du WISC5) ; - un index des tests permettant d’appréhender l’ouvrage par une lecture transversale. Les professionnels sont ainsi accompagnés dans la démarche diagnostique. Ils disposent d’outils pour analyser les épreuves, dont la connaissance est actuellement indispensable. Ce livre s’adresse à tous les professionnels pouvant être confrontés au diagnostic des anomalies de développement et aux troubles de l’apprentissage chez l’enfant : neuropédiatres, neuropsychologues, psychologues, pédopsychiatres, pédiatres, médecins de rééducation et médecins scolaires. Il pourra également intéresser les rééducateurs (orthophonistes, ergothérapeutes, psychomotriciens) et les pédagogues (enseignants spécialisés), qui, au sein des équipes, participent à l’établissement du diagnostic.
