Moniteur d'activité physiquethumb|Des bracelets connectés Samsung Galaxy Fit. Un moniteur d'activité physique, aussi appelé bracelet connecté ou traqueur d'activité (en anglais, activity tracker) est un appareil électronique ou une application qui permet de mesurer l'intensité et la quantité d'activité physique effectuée par un individu tels que la distance marchée ou courue, la consommation et la dépense de calories, et dans certains cas le rythme cardiaque et la qualité du sommeil.
Statistique multivariéeEn statistique, les analyses multivariées ont pour caractéristique de s'intéresser à des lois de probabilité à plusieurs variables. Les analyses bivariées sont des cas particuliers à deux variables. Les analyses multivariées sont très diverses selon l'objectif recherché, la nature des variables et la mise en œuvre formelle. On peut identifier deux grandes familles : celle des méthodes descriptives (visant à structurer et résumer l'information) et celle des méthodes explicatives visant à expliquer une ou des variables dites « dépendantes » (variables à expliquer) par un ensemble de variables dites « indépendantes » (variables explicatives).
Behavioural change theoriesBehavioural change theories are attempts to explain why human behaviours change. These theories cite environmental, personal, and behavioural characteristics as the major factors in behavioural determination. In recent years, there has been increased interest in the application of these theories in the areas of health, education, criminology, energy and international development with the hope that understanding behavioural change will improve the services offered in these areas.
HumérusL'humérus (du latin humerus, « épaule ») est un os pair et asymétrique du membre supérieur. Il constitue le squelette du bras (entre l'épaule et le coude). C'est un os long constitué d'une diaphyse et de deux épiphyses qui s'articulent en haut avec la scapula par l'articulation gléno-humérale, et en bas avec les deux os de l'avant-bras, l'ulna et le radius par les articulations huméro-ulnaire et huméro-radiale. Le corps ou diaphyse est à peu-près rectiligne mais tordu sur son axe dans son tiers moyen.
Social complexityIn sociology, social complexity is a conceptual framework used in the analysis of society. In the sciences, contemporary definitions of complexity are found in systems theory, wherein the phenomenon being studied has many parts and many possible arrangements of the parts; simultaneously, what is complex and what is simple are relative and change in time. Contemporary usage of the term complexity specifically refers to sociologic theories of society as a complex adaptive system, however, social complexity and its emergent properties are recurring subjects throughout the historical development of social philosophy and the study of social change.
Interventionism (politics)Interventionism is a political practice of intervention, particularly to the practice of governments to interfere in political affairs of other countries, staging military or trade interventions. Economic interventionism is a different practice of intervention, one of economic policy at home. Military intervention, as the main issue, has been defined by Martha Finnemore in the context of international relations as "the deployment of military personnel across recognized boundaries for the purpose of determining the political authority structure in the target state".
Human legThe human leg is the entire lower limb of the human body, including the foot, thigh or sometimes even the hip or buttock region. The major bones of the leg are the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and adjacent fibula. The thigh is between the hip and knee, while the calf (rear) and shin (front) are between the knee and foot. Legs are used for standing, many forms of human movement, recreation such as dancing, and constitute a significant portion of a person's mass.
Condition physiquePhysical fitness is a state of health and well-being and, more specifically, the ability to perform aspects of sports, occupations and daily activities. Physical fitness is generally achieved through proper nutrition, moderate-vigorous physical exercise, and sufficient rest along with a formal recovery plan. Before the Industrial Revolution, fitness was defined as the capacity to carry out the day's activities without undue fatigue or lethargy.
Mind–body interventionsMind–body interventions (MBI) or mind-body training (MBT) are health and fitness interventions that are intended to work on a physical and mental level such as yoga, tai chi, and Pilates. The category was introduced in September 2000 by the United States National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), a government agency, and encompasses alternative medicine interventions. It excludes scientifically validated practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy.
UlnaL’ulna (du latin, « avant-bras »), ou en ancienne nomenclature et dans le langage courant, cubitus (du latin, « coude »), est un os long qui constitue, avec le radius, l'avant-bras. Il occupe la partie médiale de l'avant-bras. Il s'articule en haut avec l'humérus et le radius et en bas avec le radius. L'ulna et le radius jouent un rôle fondamental dans le mouvement de pronation / supination de l'avant-bras. Il est constitué d'un corps (la diaphyse) et de deux extrémités (les épiphyses proximale et distale).
Physical therapyPhysical therapy (PT), also known as physiotherapy, is one of the allied health professions.
