While Peelman's book is a work of theology and Christology, it is also a work of profound friendship that will help its readers know more deeply the Amerindian experience.
Children and Exercise XXV presents the latest research in the field of paediatric exercise sciences, focusing on the interaction between physical activity, exercise or sport on the one hand, and nutrition, metabolism regulation, cardio-respiratory function or muscle function on the other.

Quarante années après les Etats-Unis et certains pays scandinaves, la France a commencé à s’intéresser à l’étude des réponses physiologiques induites par l’exercice physique de l’enfant et de l’adolescent. Cependant force est de constater que même après bientôt 70 années de recherche dans le monde entier, nos connaissances de cette population, pour des raisons souvent d’ordre éthique et (ou) méthodologique, restent encore souvent très parcellaires. L’objectif premier de ce livre est donc de combler un manque d’information (en particulier en langue française) entre les données scientifiques les plus récentes sur l’impact de l’activité physique et sportiv...

Miroirs et matrices, les maisons ou les appartements reflètent l'identité de leurs habitants et influencent leur quotidien. C'est pourquoi, il semble essentiel de se donner le temps et les outils pour concevoir par soi-même les grandes lignes de son lieu de vie, y compris lorsqu'on fait appel à un professionnel de l'architecture. Le propos de cet ouvrage est de donner des clés pour penser et repenser son habitat afin qu'il soutienne la vie de ceux qui y résident. Une maison poétique est une invitation amicale et instructive pour plus de conscience et de liberté afin d'oser s'inventer un lieu de vie bien à soi.
Les étirements constituent une pratique à part entière qui permet d'entretenir son potentiel musculaire et articulaire dans le cadre de l'activité sportive comme dans celui de prévention du vieillissement et l'entretien physique courant. Cet ouvrage propose au patient et ou au sportif un panel de 50 exercices avec tout ce qu'il est nécessaire de connaitre sur les plans physiologique, méthodologique et posturale. Pour chaque sport, chaque pathologie, chaque région anatomique et en fonction de l'âge et du sexe, un programme détaillé est proposé. L'ouvrage se décompose en 3 parties, la 1re présente les techniques d'étirements, la 2e les exercices et la 3e est orientée sur le contexte de l'étirement, soit sportif, soit pathologique. Le propos est étayé par une iconographie abondante (plus de 200) qui permet d'illustrer les différentes positions. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux kinésithérapeutes et aux préparateurs physiques. Hubert Tisal est médecin spécialiste en médecine physique et de réadaptation et enseignant à l'EFOM.
