Book SynopsisAn evidence-based textbook of sports coaching theory and practice. It deals with various aspects of coaching behaviour and practice, including coaches' decision making, coaching pedagogy, and the development of expertise. Each of the chapters provides a position statement on coaching themes.Trade Review''The editors state the purpose of this book as being "to make a 'position statement' about the nature of coaching, and our understanding of it 'in practice'” (p. xi). In many ways the book can be seen as a sequel to John Lyle's seminal and widely cited book "Sports Coaching Concepts. The book is also highly recommended to serious coaches, who will find practical value from chapters such as those on athlete development, planning, ethics, coaching philosophy; as well the chapters on pedagogy.”Simon JenkinsTable of ContentsForeword Preface Acknowledgement Dedication Chapter summaries Contributor biographies Chapter 1 Conceptual development in sports coaching Chris Cushion and John Lyle Chapter 2 Complex practice in coaching: studying the chaotic nature of coach-athlete interactions Robyn L.

Traditionally they would have to use books that didn't focus on the profession of athletic training and would be much more difficult to follow. The book is unique in carving out the most common drug therapies seen in athletic populations and providing basic principles of the effects of using any pharmacologic agent. It also does a great job outlining federal law and the degree to which it is legal for athletic trainers to dispense. All areas are covered with just enough detail for athletic trainers to be able to devise a protocol for their specific location or practice. This update is necessary because of the changes in the law and in the profession, as well as newer concepts such as pharmacogenetics.” - Mary E.

Book SynopsisTemperature plays an important role in sports - regarding both the athlete's performance and health. However, until now, these effects, e.g. thermoregulatory mechanisms as well as the variations of body temperature during physical exertion have barely been considered. This book presents studies and results which prove that cold application has a positive influence on the athlete's performance and regeneration ability. Based on the results of international studies, and considering the control mechanisms and principles of thermoregulation, the effects of cold application should be utilized in training and competition.

Book SynopsisThe Musician’s Hand – A Clinical Guide was the first book to focus on the specialised topic of the upper limb and hand in musicians: the conditions they suffer, the modified assessment and treatment they require and the importance of prevention. Since its publication in 1998, scientific and clinical progress has been made in all these areas. The second edition of The Musician’s Hand has been completely revised under the editorship of hand surgeon Ian Winspur to reflect this expansion in our knowledge. The book opens with introductory chapters describing the principles of hand and arm pain as it is experienced by musicians, and summarising the problems associated with playing various instruments (woodwind, violin, piano, etc). Subsequent chapters cover the specific disorders seen in musicians, (Dupuytren’s, nerve compression syndromes, etc) describing the therapeutic solutions to each one and highlighting the key prevention strategies available. Closing chapters focus on related topics such as performance psychology and pharmacotherapy. Featuring contributions from world renowned performers such as Imogen Cooper and global experts in the field, The Musician’s Hand, Second Edition provides essential insight to upper limb problems in musicians, not only for surgeons, doctors and therapists, but for all students and teachers of performing arts medicine and to musicians themselves.Table of Contents The pianist’s perspective Musicians’ hand and arm pain The interface Specific conditions Clinical evaluation of musicians Dupuytren’s disease Nerve compression syndromes Nerve conduction testing Surgical planning, indications and techniques Repair and reconstruction The hand therapist’s contribution Musician’s focal dystonia Prevention Performance psychology Medicines and drugs The misuse syndrome

Book SynopsisHip and Knee Pain Disorders has been written to provide a state-of-the-art, evidence-informed and clinically-informed overview of the examination and conservative management of hip/knee pain conditions. Under the current predominantly evidence-based practice paradigm, clinician expertise, patient preference, and best available research determine examination, and prognostic and clinical management decisions. However, this paradigm has been understood by many to place greater value and emphasis on the research component, thereby devaluing the other two. Evidence-informed practice is a term that has been suggested to honor the original intent of evidence-based practice, while also acknowledging the value of clinician experience and expertise. In essence, evidence-informed practice combines clinical reasoning, based on current best evidence, with authority-based knowledge and a pathophysiological rationale derived from extrapolation of basic science knowledge. Unlike other published textbooks that overemphasize the research component in decision-making, this book aims to address the clinical reality of having to make decisions on the management of a patient with hip/knee pain, in the absence of a comprehensive scientific rationale, using other sources of knowledge. It offers an evidence-informed textbook that values equally research evidence, clinician expertise and patient preference.The book is edited by three recognised world leaders in clinical research into manual therapy and chronic pain. Their research activities are concentrated on the evidence-based management of musculoskeletal pain conditions using conservative interventions.

Book SynopsisThis book focuses on the benefits of exercise for prevention and treatment of chronic brain disorders. It is a guide for finding the right exercise routine for each individual. The goal is to show the reader why everyone needs to exercise, especially as we get older. The brain needs physical exercise both for normal health and for preventing and treating diseases common with aging.How much exercise is needed? As we see throughout the book there is no one fits all rule with regard to the amount of exercise required. The key is to make exercise a part of one’s daily routine. The beneficial effect of exercise is transient, lasting days to weeks, so it must be a lifelong pursuit. Can we exercise too much? Anything done in excess can potentially be dangerous but with the common sense approach outlined in this book anyone, regardless of underlying health condition, can find some type of exercise that is safe and effective.Table of ContentsChapter 1.
