... awareness, coordinate research, develop training materials, and organise scientific meetings and training courses. The DDD developed the Diabetes and Depression African Nursing Training Programme in collaboration with the International Council of Nurses to address identified needs of nurses in Sub-Saharan...

... (or a decrease) in lesson length, funding, and teaching resource provision. There also appears to be concerns in relation to initial teacher training and professional development. However, a number of organizations provide schools with support, enabling them to ensure pupils receive, and are able to apply...

... literature, cognitive training strategies have been shown to improve targeted neurocognitive domains and everyday functioning. A review of some of these cognitive training strategies, especially as they relate to aging with HIV, are highlighted and explained in the context of neuroAIDS, aging...

... Abstract The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis is essential for adequate responses to exercise and training both acutely and chronically. Both testosterone and estrogen play leading roles in neuromuscular adaptation to exercise in males and females. The purpose of this chapter...

... Abstract In the present review, we focus on evaluating the state of the literature in the area of genetic aspects of exercise training adaptation, in particular focusing on findings published since 2009. Our focus is primarily on studies examining genetic polymorphisms and their association...

..., and exercise behaviour is estimated to be 66, 47, and 62%, respectively [ 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Linkage analyses have revealed a number of chromosomal regions that contain predisposing genes associated with performance-related phenotypes such as maximal oxygen uptake and the response to training [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19...

... personal genetic information to help guide their own sport participation. A sports coach might wish to test young athletes to aid team selection or individualize training. A physician might want to predict the risk of injury or illness in athletes and advise regarding selection or preventative measures...

... Abstract Operating room (OR) team safety training and learning in the field of dialysis access is well suited for the use of simulators, simulated case learning and root cause analysis of adverse outcomes. The objectives of OR team training are to improve communication and leadership skills...

... Abstract This chapter addresses the importance of training on comorbidity and the principles of learning. It covers the methods and structuring of such training, the content on which it is based, and what is known in the field. It includes illness versus disease management, holistic approaches...

... Abstract In recent years, advances in molecular biology have allowed scientists to elucidate how endurance exercise training stimulates skeletal muscle remodeling (i.e. promotes mitochondrial biogenesis). A growing field of interest directly arising from our understanding of the molecular bases...

... intermittent exercise performance can potentially be limited by reduced availability of substrates stored in skeletal muscle and/or metabolic by-products associated with fuel breakdown. High-intensity interval training (HIT) has been shown to induce adaptations in skeletal muscle that enhance the capacity...

... Abstract Prolonged exercise and heavy training are associated with depressed immune function which can increase the risk of picking up minor infections. To maintain robust immunity, athletes should eat a well-balanced diet sufficient to meet their energy, carbohydrate, protein...

... Abstract Nutrition plays a key role in allowing the numerous training hours to be translated into useful adaptive responses of various tissues in the individual athlete. Research over the last decade has shown many examples of the impact of dietary interventions to modulate the skeletal muscle...

... in a hypohydrated state as a result of incomplete recovery from water loss induced in order to achieve a specific body mass target or due to incomplete recovery from a previous competition or training session. Dehydration will also develop in endurance exercise where fluid intake does not match water loss...

... Abstract Regular moderate exercise reduces the risk of infection compared with a sedentary lifestyle, but very prolonged bouts of exercise and periods of intensified training are associated with increased infection risk. In athletes, a common observation is that symptoms of respiratory...
