Book excerpt: All of us have the potential to be unconditionally happy and free. It is just that we have got a bit messed up in our minds. Disentanglement from the mental mishmash can be achieved by right thinking and meditation. Meditation begins with detachment from one's agitations and finding their roots which happen to be certain false beliefs or conditionings. Through deep meditation, we can dig out these conditionings and realize a state of unconditioned peace, love and freedom. 'The Art of Deconditioning' is about digging out your unconscious conditionings and realizing stable happiness and freedom. This book teaches how to practice Deep Deconditioning Inquiry. You will learn how to break free from your deep-seated habit patterns that cause so much suffering. This book will bring about a stable and lasting revolution in your life. You will never be the same person again. You will come to realize a state of being in which you will remain peaceful and happy whatever the situation is.

Download or read book Exercise Countermeasures for Bed rest Deconditioning written by John Edward Greenleaf and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose for this 30-day bed-rest study was to investigate the effects of short-term, high-intensity isotonic and isokinetic exercise training on maintenance of aerobic work capacity (peak oxygen uptake); muscular strength and endurance; and orthostatic tolerance, equilibrium, and gait. Other data were collected on muscle atrophy, bone mineralization and density, endocrine analyses of vasoactivity and fluid-electrolyte balance, muscle intermediary metabolism, and performance and mood of the subjects. Nineteen men (32-42 yr) were allocated into three groups: no-exercise control (peak oxygen uptake and isokinetic tests once/wk, N = 5), isotonic exercise training (electronic Quinton ergometer, supine, N = 7), and isokinetic exercise training (electronic Lido ergometer, supine, N = 7). The exercise training regimens were conducted near peak levels for 30 min in the morning and 30 min in the afternoon 5 d/wk. The protocol consisted of a 7-d ambulatory control period during which the subjects equilibrated on the standardized diet, 30 d of 6 degrees head-down bed rest, and a final 4.5 d of ambulatory recovery. Their diet consisted of commonly available fresh and frozen foods; mean caloric consumption of 2,678 +/- SE 75 kcal/d (control), 2,833 +/- SE 82 kcal/day (isotonic), and 2,890 +/- SE 75 kcal/d (isokinetic) resulted in mean weight losses during bed rest of 1.01 kg, 0.85 kg, and 0.0 kg, respectively. The results indicated that: (1) The subjects maintained a relatively stable mood, high morale, and high esprit de corps throughout the study. Scores improved in nearly all performance and mood tests in almost all the subjects. Isotonic training, as opposed to isokinetic exercise training, was associated with decreasing levels of psychological tension, concentration, and motivation, and with improvement in the quality of sleep. (2) Peak oxygen uptake was maintained during bed rest with isotonic exercise training; it was not maintained as well with isokinetic ( -9.0%) or no-exercise ( -18.2%) training. If a 9% reduction in aerobic power is acceptable, isokinetic exercise training could be used for maintenance of strength, endurance, and the reduced aerobic capacity in astronauts during flight. (3) In general, there were few decreases in strength or endurance of arm or leg muscles during bed rest, in spite of reduction in size (atrophy) of some leg muscles. (4) There was no effect of isotonic or isokinetic exercise training on orthostasis, because tilt-table tolerances were reduced similarly from 42-53 min to 30-34 min in the three groups following bed rest. (5) Bed rest resulted in significant decreases of postural stability and self-selected step length, stride length, and walking velocity, which were not influenced by either exercise training regimen. Pre-bed-rest responses were restored by the fourth day of recovery.

Download or read book Overtraining Syndrome in Athletes written by Flavio Cadegiani and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses major changes in our understanding of the most prevalent non-orthopedic, sports-related condition – overtraining syndrome (OTS), arguing that it should be considered as the manifestation of burnout in athletes, rather than simply the result of excessive training. While the chronic adaptations of the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems to exercise are well documented, those of the endocrine system are less well known, and adaptations of the hormonal ranges for athletes are yet to be determined. There is also a lack of standardized diagnostic criteria, consistent assessment methods and biomarkers. This book offers a systematic review of the hormonal aspects of overtraining syndrome, and a comparison with sports-related syndromes triggered by chronic deprivation of different sorts, including the female athlete triad (and its derivative, RED-S) and burnout syndrome of the athlete (BSA). It demonstrates that these conditions, although studied separately from each other, may all be different manifestations of the same condition, leading to ‘maladaptive’ (dysfunctional forced adaptations to a hostile environment) changes in response to chronic depletion of energy and mechanisms of repair, causing multiple dysfunctions. The author proposes that OTS/Paradoxical Deconditioning Syndrome (PDS), RED-S/TRIAD and BSA are parts of a same condition, or at least a group of similar conditions. Further, the book offers a chronological overview of OTS, based on preliminary research. Given its broad scope, this concise reference book will appeal to a range of health professionals. It allows readers, including those without a strong academic background, to gain a systematic understanding of OTS.
