A few clear factors are associated with living longer and healthier — such as higher levels of physical activity, good sleep patterns and proper nutrition. However, despite all the advances that have been made to increase the general population's physical activity, improve their sleep patterns, and boost their nutritional habits, there is still a lot to be done. This Research Topic aims to address the topic of healthy ageing and will consider manuscripts focused on the effects of improving these factors in all ages, from childhood to old age. We are mainly interested in questions of broader interventions at the individual (home settings), group (school, work, and gerontology settings), and societal level (community/based settings). We also welcome papers investigating the short- and long-term effects of environmental factors on physical changes in children, working and old age populations and their development. Correlational and survey studies examining the issues mentioned above are welcome.

Este libro constituye el manual básico del Curso de Promotor de Actividad Física y de Estilo de Vida Saludable, organizado por el Departamento de Psicología de la Educación de la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona. Su enfoque es interdisciplinario y pretende reunir conocimientos básicos provenientes de ciencias aplicadas a la actividad física, el ejercicio y el deporte, como son la Educación Física, la Psicología y la Medicina. El resultado son unos contenidos estructurados en capítulos que permiten responder a preguntas clave sobre la necesidad de promocionar la actividad física y el ejercicio físico entre la población general, como: ¿Contribuye el ejercicio físico a mejorar la salud?, ¿cómo? ¿Qué beneficios aporta un estilo de vida activo a la salud y la calidad de vida? ¿Es posible prevenir trastornos y enfermedades mediante el ejercicio físico? ¿Qué riesgos tiene la práctica de ejercicio físico? ¿Cuáles son las razones para hacer ejercicio? ¿Cómo se evalúan los motivos personales para practicar ejercicio? ¿Cómo se escoge el tipo de ejercicio en función de la motivación? ¿Cuáles son las barreras o dificultades a la hora de practicar ejercicio? ¿Cómo se evalúa la condición física saludable y su progreso? ¿Cómo iniciar un programa de ejercicio físico saludable?, ¿cómo mantenerlo sin abandonar? Aunque los contenidos del libro se basan en aspectos contrastados científicamente, se pretende utilizar un lenguaje lo más asequible posible para aquellas personas que no están familiarizadas con el ambiente académico. Con esto se pretende llegar a un público amplio, posiblemente perteneciente a una gran masa de la población que desearía adoptar un estilo de vida más activo y saludable. Sin embargo, dichos contenidos y la forma de estructurarlos pueden ser de una gran utilidad para aquellos profesionales del ámbito de la salud que desean incorporar la promoción de un estilo de vida activo en su tarea cotidiana de proporcionar salud a los ciudadanos.\n

A growing body of research evidence suggests that physical activity can have a positive effect on educational achievement. This book examines a range of processes associated with physical activity that are of relevance to those working in education – including cognition, learning, memory, attention, mood, stress and mental health symptoms – and draws on the latest insights from exercise neuroscience to help explain the evidence. With contributions from leading scientists and educationalists from around the world, this book cuts through the myths to interrogate the relationship between physical activity and educational achievement in children, adolescents and young adults in a variety of cultural and geographical contexts. Examining both the benefits and risks associated with physical activity from the perspectives of exercise science and educational psychology, it also looks ahead to ask what the limits of this research might be and what effects it might have on the future practice of education. Physical Activity and Educational Achievement: Insights from Exercise Neuroscience is fascinating reading for any student, academic or practitioner with an interest in exercise science and education.

Coping with anger and pain is more challenging than ever in these times—and more necessary. Two acclaimed Buddhist teachers offer strategies and wisdom in a book that’s been called “possibly the most inspiring and liberating meditation on love ever written.” When people and circumstances upset us, how do we deal with them? Often, we feel victimized. We become hurt, angry, and defensive. We end up seeing others as enemies, and when things don’t go our way, we become enemies to ourselves. But what if we could move past this pain, anger, and defensiveness? Inspired by Buddhist philosophy, this book introduces us to the four kinds of enemies we encounter in life: the outer enemy, people, institutions, and situations that mean to harm us; the inner enemy, anger, hatred, fear, and other destructive emotions; the secret enemy, self-obsession that isolates us from others; and the super-secret enemy, deep-seated self-loathing that prevents us from finding inner freedom and true happiness. In this practical guide, we learn not only how to identify our enemies, but more important, how to transform our relationship to them. Love Your Enemies teaches us how to . . . · break free from the mode of “us” versus “them” thinking · develop compassion, patience, and love · accept what is beyond our control · embrace lovingkindness, right speech, and other core concepts First published in 2013, Love Your Enemies is, more than ever, required reading for navigating our world. Throughout, authors Sharon Salzberg and Robert Thurman draw from ancient spiritual wisdom and modern psychology to help you find peace within yourself and with the world. * Includes new prefaces from both authors *

This timely practical reference addresses the lack of Spanish-language resources for mental health professionals to use with their Latino clients. Geared toward both English- and Spanish-speaking practitioners in a variety of settings, this volume is designed to minimize misunderstandings between the clinician and client, and with that the possibility of inaccurate diagnosis and/or ineffective treatment. Coverage for each topic features a discussion of cultural considerations, guidelines for evidence-based best practices, a review of available findings, a treatment plan, plus clinical tools and client handouts, homework sheets, worksheets, and other materials. Chapters span a wide range of disorders and problems over the life-course, and include reproducible resources for: Assessing for race-based trauma. Using behavioral activation and cognitive interventions to treat depression among Latinos. Treating aggression, substance use, abuse, and dependence among Latino Adults. Treating behavioral problems among Latino adolescents. Treating anxiety among Latino children. Working with Latino couples. Restoring legal competency with Latinos. The Toolkit for Counseling Spanish-Speaking Clients fills a glaring need in behavioral service delivery, offering health psychologists, social workers, clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists, and other helping professionals culturally-relevant support for working with this under served population. The materials included here are an important step toward dismantling barriers to mental health care.
