DESCRIZIONE

Over the last decade studies have shown that physical exercise plays an important role in maintaining an individual's psycho-physical balance. In particular, it has been demonstrated that prolonged regular physical activity (now defined in scientific publications as chronic physical activity) helps to significantly reduce the incidence of neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases, which are often associated with ageing, while at the same time bolstering the immune system. Promoting physical activity therefore helps preventing today's major health challenges, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiorespiratory diseases, obesity, osteoporosis, arthritis, and cancer, thus leading to a reduction in healthcare costs and freeing up resources for future generations. The volume will be an essential reading for all health professionals and for residents in medicine and in health and physical exercise.Table of contents Metabolic Modifications and Physical Exercise.- Mitochondrial Biogenesis and Physical Exercise.- Physical Exercise and Oxidative Stress.- Mitochondrial Alterations in Ageing and Diseases.- Nutrition, Physical Exercise and Obesity.- Physical Exercise.- Health and Wellness: Sociological and Psychological Aspects.
