Fish immune system and vaccines
by M. Makesh K. V. RajendranThis book is a collection of comprehensive and latest information on all aspects of vaccination in fish and shellfish. It provides the basic understanding about the immune system of both fish and crustaceans, besides giving the latest information on adjuvants, vaccine delivery methods, adverse effects of vaccines and methods to assess the efficacy of vaccines. Separate chapters on the role of pattern recognition receptors and interferons in fish vaccination, biofilm vaccines and biosafety and regulatory requirements for fish vaccines are also included.

Fistula Politics: Birthing Injuries and the Quest for Continence in Niger (Medical Anthropology)
by Alison HellerObstetric fistula is a birthing injury caused by prolonged obstructed labor that results in urinary and fecal incontinence. It is nearly non-existent in the Global North. In contrast Niger, in West Africa, has one of the highest rates of fistula in the world. In Western humanitarian and media narratives, fistula is presented as deeply stigmatizing, resulting in divorce, abandonment by kin, exile from communities, depression and suicide. In Fistula Politics, Alison Heller illustrates the inaccuracy of these popular narratives and shows how they serve the interests not of the women so affected, but of humanitarian organizations, the media, and local clinics.

Fitness Doping: Trajectories, Gender, Bodies and Health
by Jesper Andreasson Thomas JohanssonThis book compiles several years of multi-faceted qualitative research on fitness doping to provide a fresh insight into how the growing phenomenon intersects with issues of gender, body and health in contemporary society. Drawing on biographical interviews, as well as online and offline ethnography, Andreasson and Johansson analyse how, in the context of the global development of gym and fitness culture, particular doping trajectories are formulated, and users come into contact with doping. They also explore users’ internalisation of particular values, practices and communications and analyse how this influences understandings of the self, health, gender and the body, as well as tying this into wider beliefs regarding individual freedom and the law. This insight into doping goes beyond elite and organised sports, and will be of interest to students and scholars across the sociology of sport, leisure studies, and gender and body politics.
Fitness Measures and Health Outcomes in Youth
by Russell PatePhysical fitness affects our ability to function and be active. At poor levels, it is associated with such health outcomes as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Physical fitness testing in American youth was established on a large scale in the 1950s with an early focus on performance-related fitness that gradually gave way to an emphasis on health-related fitness. Using appropriately selected measures to collected fitness data in youth will advance our understanding of how fitness among youth translates into better health. In Fitness Measures and Health Outcomes in Youth, the IOM assesses the relationship between youth fitness test items and health outcomes, recommends the best fitness test items, provides guidance for interpreting fitness scores, and provides an agenda for needed research. The report concludes that selected cardiorespiratory endurance, musculoskeletal fitness, and body composition measures should be in fitness surveys and in schools. Collecting fitness data nationally and in schools helps with setting and achieving fitness goals and priorities for public health at an individual and national level.
Fitte kinderen, sportieve tieners: over de invloed van bewegen en sport op de gezondheid van jongeren
by Han C.G. KemperWat is nu precies de invloed van bewegen en sport op de gezondheid en fitheid van jongeren? Dit boek geeft actuele, wetenschappelijke informatie over fysiologische aspecten van groei, ontwikkeling en rijping van jongeren. Daarmee biedt het inzicht in de effecten van lichaamsbeweging op hun gezondheid. Fysiologische en anatomische verschillen tussen opgroeiende jongeren, jongens en meisjes worden op een heldere wijze uitgelegd. Waarom bijvoorbeeld hebben verschillen in proporties van kinderen (met kortere armen, benen en groter hoofd) invloed op het lichamelijke prestatievermogen? Tegelijk wordt afgerekend met een aantal vooroordelen. Zo groeien pubers niet uit hun krachten en leveren fysiek vroegrijpe kinderen niet de grootste sporttalenten op.De auteur behandelt niet alleen alledaagse activiteiten als fietsen, wandelen en traplopen, maar ook het sporten op school en in de vrije tijd. Alle vormen van lichaamsbeweging worden uitvoerig en kritisch besproken. Hoe kun je het activiteitenpatroon van jongeren beïnvloeden? Zowel objectieve beweegmonitoren en hartslagentellers als hippe beweeggadgets worden op waarde geschat. Ook de ethische kanten van (top)sportbeoefening door kinderen en talent scouting bij jongeren worden voor het voetlicht gebracht. De auteur sluit af met een pleidooi voor een ¿beweegvriendelijke¿ woon- en leefomgeving met veilige voet- en fietspaden. Een integrale aanpak van de bewegingsarmoede bij jongeren kan de nadelige invloed van te weinig lichaamsbeweging op de gezondheid voorkomen.Fitte kinderen, sportieve tieners is bestemd voor iedereen die beroepsmatig geïnteresseerd is in het bewegen van jongeren. Daaronder vallen kinder-, school- en jeugdartsen, fysiologen, fysiotherapeuten, vakleerkrachten bewegen en sport en sporttrainers, maar ook psychologen, pedagogen en ouders of verzorgers.
