Springer International Publishing AG Biomechanics of Training and Testing: Innovative
Book SynopsisThis book presents an account of innovative methods and, for most of them, gives direct and practical insights into how practitioners can benefit from their use in their everyday practice. It also explains how to interpret the data measured, and the underlying neuromechanical and biomechanical factors related to sports performance. Written and edited by the same researchers who proposed and validated these methods, this book not only presents innovative methods for an efficient training and testing process (most of which are based on very simple technology and data processing methods), but also discusses the associated background information. Although it is a young scientific discipline, sport biomechanics has taken on an important role in routine sports training, medicine and rehabilitation. It allows both a better understanding of human locomotion and performance and better design of training and injury prevention. In those processes, the testing of athletes is crucial, and the quality and quantity of the variables analysed directly influences the efficiency of physicians’, coaches’, physiotherapists’ and other practitioners’ interventions.Trade Review“This book presents methods of evaluating movement and performance in sport and their application to training. … The book is intended for coaches, physical therapists, and sports medicine practitioners. Physical therapists specializing in sports care would be most interested in this book. … This book does a good job of providing the background for biomechanical models and analysis of movement in sports, while offering less expensive and simpler ways to perform testing.” (Monique Serpas, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2018)Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Cycling.- Force, Velocity and Power in Cycling.- Pedalling Technique, Effectiveness and Coordination.- Influence of Gear Ratios.- Measurements on Cycle Ergometers.- Ballistic Movements of Lower and Upper Limbs: Jumping and Pushing.-Simple Method for Measuring Jump Height and Power during Rebound and Drop Jump.- Simple Method for Measuring Force, Velocity and Power during Jumping.- Optimal Force-Velocity Profile in Jumping: Measurement and Relationship with Performance.- Simple Method for Measuring Stiffness during Hopping.- Simple Method for Measuring Force, Velocity, Power and Force-Velocity profile of Upper Limbs.- Running.- Simple Method for Measuring Lower Limb Stiffness during Running.- Measuring the Energetic Cost of Sprint Running.- Simple Method for Measuring Force, Velocity, Power and Force-Velocity profile and Optimal Force-Velocity profile during Sprint Running.- Measurements on Sprint Instrumented Treadmills.- Effectiveness of Force Production during Sprint Running.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Applied Physiology Of Exercise
Book SynopsisThis book is suitable for anyone interested in training with the use of science. Training has to be science-based and science is the only way forward, thus the book title indicates Applied Physiology of Exercise. Any training can be answered with physiological rationale. If it cannot be answered, people are moving away from specific intelligent training and into erroneous combination high-load training (for example, combining aerobic and anaerobic interval training in a single training session) that may not elicit a higher percentage of physiological adaptations but may induce injuries as the body is not conditioned properly. Combination high-level training may be introduced at a later stage once an individual goes through specific conditioning following a general conditioning of building the 'base' or 'foundation' period for at least six months. Factual training with science takes time to attain superior performance without performance-enhancing drugs or supplements such as growth hormones and testosterone. Gathering the 'right' knowledge is important and hopefully readers will be better equipped after reading this book. There are questions in each chapter to enhance learning and comprehension. It requires readers to think, rationalize, answer, and apply the facts to training or weight loss programs. These questions aim to ignite the critical component of learning as readers critique and re-analyze their training program. Even though each training could be different with everyone holding on to a different training philosophy, facts through science are universal for all.
