ISMAT promotes the presentation of a multidisciplinary work on the challenges and training of the young athlete.
On February 27th, the Library of ISMAT – Instituto Superior Manuel Teixeira Gomes hosted the presentation of the book “Jovem Atleta – Uma Abordagem Multidisciplinar”, an initiative organized by professors from the Institute's Sports Sciences department.
The session, which included the participation of students and faculty, was led by ISMAT professors who are also among the authors of the work. The moment provided a space for sharing and reflection on the multiple scientific perspectives that contribute to the understanding and training of the young athlete in the context of contemporary sports.
The work results from a collection of contributions from various specialists and aims to provide readers - students, teachers, coaches, parents, and the community in general - with a comprehensive view of the set of variables that characterize the universe of youth sports.
Among the topics covered are areas such as sports psychology, development in childhood and adolescence, the relationship between sports psychology and neuro-linguistic coaching, physical literacy, the dialogue between school and club in athlete training, olympic symbolism, physical fitness in children and youth, nutrition, ethics in sports, and oral health in injury prevention, among other relevant contributions.
The initiative reinforces ISMAT's commitment to the promotion of scientific knowledge and the organization of academic activities that stimulate debate and reflection on relevant topics for education in the field of Sports Sciences.
