Sequoia Books Hormones, Health and Human Potential: A Guide to
Book SynopsisOver 2,500 years ago, Hippocrates advocated the personalisation of "nourishment and exercise" as the "safest way to health". He knew that our behaviours influence our health, but he did not know why. This book explains the missing link: the crucial role played by our hormones and what we can do to optimise them. Hormones set in motion the physiological processes that keep us alive, bringing our DNA to life by directing gene expression. Hormones are the protagonists in the interaction between lifestyle and health. We can harness our hormones positively to optimise health through our choice of behaviours. Conversely, mistiming between our actions and internal hormone biological clocks can derail the intricate interactions of hormone networks. For example, in relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S). This book reveals the clandestine world of hormones, navigating the path to achieving full personal potential, through the different stages of life. This is relevant for both men and women, whatever your objectives, whether you are a high-level athlete; looking to improve health and fitness; seeking to understand hormone disruption; or meeting the challenges of physiological changes in hormones during life such as perimenopause and menopause. Practical tips and "hormone stories" provide actionable advice and real-life examples of how to tune in to your hormones and maintain hormone health. As the human lifespan extends, it becomes ever more desirable to remain healthy into old age. Understanding how and why your choice of lifestyle affects your hormones empowers you to take informed decisions to improve your personal health. A life-long, healthy mix of exercise, nutrition and sleep is open to anyone, at minimal cost.Trade ReviewThis book is an absolute must read for anyone with an interest in the fascinating links between our hormones and overall health. It is grounded in easy to understand science and offers practical and empowering advice that everyone can apply.

Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Building Europe with the Ball: Turning Points in
Book SynopsisSince 1990, football history has become increasingly important within the field of sport science, yet few studies have centred on the Europeanization of the game from the interwar period onwards. This period saw the creation of a sovereign institution dedicated to European football, the establishment of specific rules about players’ transfers and contracts and, in particular, the development of competitions. This book examines the development of European football between 1905 and 1995 from a transnational perspective. It offers a space for discussion to both early-career and established historians from a range of different countries, leading to a better understanding of the crucial turning points in the Europeanization of the game. The volume aims to promote valuable new reflections on the role of football in the European integration process.Trade Review«The importance of this work must be highlighted first for its abundant use of documentation from a wide range of archives, some of which have not been previously consulted. Furthermore, it must be commended for its insightful analysis of European football from a more transnational perspective, an aspect that should serve to guide and stimulate further research into this subject.» (Juan Antonio Simon, Journal of Sport History 45/3 2018)Table of ContentsContents: Nicolas Bancel/Grégory Quin/Philippe Vonnard: Introduction: Studying the Europeanization of Football in Historical Perspective – Paul Dietschy: Football during the Belle Époque: The First ‘Europe of football’ (1903–1914) – Grégory Quin: Central Europe Rules European Football: The ‘Golden Age’ of Regional Connections in European Football (1926–1938) – Matthew Taylor: English Football and ‘the Continent’ Reconsidered (1919–1960) – Nicola Sbetti: The Quest for Legitimacy: The Road to Redemption for Italian Football in Europe after the Second World War (1943–1949) – Xavier Breuil: Football and the Construction of a European Area in the East: Ruptures and Continuities after 1945 – Kevin Tallec Marston: ‘Sincere Camaraderie’: Professionalization, Politics and the Pursuit of the European Idea at the International Youth Tournament (1948–1957) – Philippe Vonnard: How did UEFA Govern the European Turning Point in Football?

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.

Peter Lang AG Die Spielerueberlassung - Rechtsfragen der
Book SynopsisSpielerleihgeschäfte sind mittlerweile im Profisport zu einer echten Alternative zum endgültigen Transfer gereift. Der Autor geht auf die sich bei der Spielerleihe stellenden Rechtsfragen tiefgehend ein. Schwerpunktmäßig werden zum einen die verbandsrechtlichen Vorschriften, welche die Spielerüberlassung reglementieren, auf ihre Vereinbarkeit mit höherrangigem Recht überprüft. Dies gilt auch für die von der FIFA geplanten Beschränkungen von Leihgeschäften. Zum anderen beschäftigt sich der Autor intensiv mit der Thematik, ob die gegenwärtige Praxis der Spielerleihe mit dem Arbeitnehmerüberlassungsgesetz (AÜG) vereinbar ist, welcher gerade auch vor dem Hintergrund der jüngsten AÜG-Reform äußerste Brisanz zukommt. Schließlich werden noch entsprechende Alternativmöglichkeiten vorgestellt.

Aalborg Universitetsforlag Talent Identification: (Un)conscious gold
Book SynopsisTalent identification. A concept dating back to Greek philosophers, now as it was then, is about the ability to identify talent in different contexts. The ability to identify talent has become increasingly popular over the past few years. It has long been considered a crucial parameter for success in sport, but has spread to different contexts such as education, business, and culture. Until recently, research on talent identification (particularly in sports) has been predominantly concerned with finding a recipe for identifying talent in formal circumstances, such as talent testing. However, talent identification is much more than that. Rather, talent identification should be seen as something everyone practices to some extent. Every day. All the time.This book provides an insight into talent identification and puts forward new ways of understanding and approaching talent identification.
