Tecnicas Para Evaluar El Nivel Fisico-Deportivo de Tu Hijo


Book Description

Evaluar es, ante todo, valorar, recabando el mayor numero de datos posibles respecto al proceso. Siempre que aparezca el concepto ensenanza-aprendizaje lo hara la evaluacion como sinonimo de conocimiento de ese proceso y de los elementos que lo componen con la pretension de mejorarlo (Delgado y Tercedor, 2002). Aunque las resenas validas relativas a la evaluacion son abundantes, conviene adoptar desde un principio una postura critica y consecuente para analizar tanta informacion. En las paginas siguientes, haremos referencia a una serie de autores cuyas perspectivas no son siempre coincidentes, si bien, en muchos casos, pueden considerarse complementarias. La evaluacion no es un hecho aislado, sino un proceso formado por varias fases, como veremos en el Tema (Zagalaz y otros 2014). Dentro de la evaluacion se encuentra la educativa, que tiene unas caracteristicas que hacen que tenga entidad propia y que este presente desde siempre en nuestro ambito (Diaz, 2005).




Estrategias para la evaluación de la condición física en niños y adolescentes


Book Description

Cuando se trabaja con niños y adolescentes en el área de la condición física, lo primero que alguien se pregunta es cómo puede conocer su nivel de aptitud física. ¿Serán individuos activos, con buena condición física? ¿Con qué test es posible verificarlo? Los tests seleccionados ¿están relacionados con la salud del alumnado? ¿Cómo interpretar e informar los resultados de dicha evaluación? Posteriormente, y tras la evaluación diagnóstica, sería coherente analizar cómo es posible mejorar o mantener el nivel de condición física de estos jóvenes para mejorar su salud. Aquí aparecen otras preguntas. ¿Qué tipo de estrategias de ejercicio físico son las adecuadas con el objetivo de incrementar su nivel de condición física? ¿Qué estrategias se pueden utilizar para aumentar el tiempo diario dedicado a la actividad física? Se sabe que un niño inactivo muy probablemente se convierta en un adulto inactivo, lo que desafía a mostrarles a quienes los tienen a cargo algunos caminos para que los ayuden a salir del sedentarismo y a transformarse en personas activas, cada vez más por elección que por obligación. Este cambio de paradigma en los jóvenes es lo que se espera para tener adultos que elijan hacer actividad física toda su vida.

Health Status and Health Policy


Book Description

This book has two major objectives. The first is to propose the Health Resource Allocation Strategy as a social and political process for comparing costs and outcomes of alternative policy options in the health and medical care arena to select interventions with greatest benefit in relation to cost. The second objective is to provide a reference for state-ofthe-art development and application of health status and quality of life measures for health care policy and research, including clinical applications. Not all policy applications of health- related quality of life involve resource allocation. Thus we present guidelines to assessment for use in program evaluation, monitoring of health policy, clinical trials, and health services research.
