Download or read book Splits Hacking written by Elia Bartolini and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-27 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SPLITS HACKING IS THE KEY The biggest problem that most athletes and practitioners have isn't the determination and dedication to learn the splits; it's understanding how to do it following the right path. Have you ever wanted to learn the splits, started with your training program but didn't get there? Or maybe you just want to close that little gap between you and the floor in a split that has been giving you troubles for so many years...I know, splits are just awesome. Everyone wants to do them, right? And for a good reason: they're not only impressive to see, but they're also so useful to master the flexibility of your body! Splits Hacking was written to help you discover how to train for the splits with the correct exercises and methodologies. In this book, I'll teach you everything you need to know to finally touch the floor in the splits, even if you start from the absolute ZERO and you've always wanted to learn these amazing stretching positions. It doesn't matter how hard you train. What makes the real difference is how you do your stretches; what kind of stretches you do; and the training program you follow. I'm Elia Bartolini, and I'm a flexibility coach. As a teenager, my dream was to reach the splits; but you know what? I had no idea how to do it. So I started looking for exercises, methodologies, and coaches that could help me get there. It took some time to develop my splits, and thanks to that, I figured out a clear path to follow to master these stretching positions. At that point, I thought... "Ok, this could have worked for me, but would it also work for others?". So I decided to test it out. In the following years, I've worked with many different practitioners worldwide, and I taught many people how to reach the splits. The path I figured out has also been working with them. So, why not put it into a book? This book will help you find your path so that you can enjoy your training and the fantastic journey towards the splits...
Download or read book Authoritarianism and the Elite Origins of Democracy written by Michael Albertus and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that - in terms of institutional design, the allocation of power and privilege, and the lived experiences of citizens - democracy often does not restart the political game after displacing authoritarianism. Democratic institutions are frequently designed by the outgoing authoritarian regime to shield incumbent elites from the rule of law and give them an unfair advantage over politics and the economy after democratization. Authoritarianism and the Elite Origins of Democracy systematically documents and analyzes the constitutional tools that outgoing authoritarian elites use to accomplish these ends, such as electoral system design, legislative appointments, federalism, legal immunities, constitutional tribunal design, and supermajority thresholds for change. The study provides wide-ranging evidence for these claims using data that spans the globe and dates from 1800 to the present. Albertus and Menaldo also conduct detailed case studies of Chile and Sweden. In doing so, they explain why some democracies successfully overhaul their elite-biased constitutions for more egalitarian social contracts.

Download or read book The Soft Hard Tissue Junction written by Neil D. Broom and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-29 with total page 810 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richly illustrated throughout with actual tissue images, this innovative book shows that the soft-hard tissue junction is best understood in a biomechanical context. The authors describe their pioneering experimental methods, providing an essential structure-function framework for computational modelling, and thereby encouraging the development of more realistic, predictive models of this important tissue junction. Covering the three main musculoskeletal junctions of cartilage-bone, disc-vertebra, and ligament/tendon-bone, the relevant soft tissues are examined with respect to both their own inherent structure and their mode of integration with the hard tissue. The soft-hard tissue interface is explored with a focus on structural damage resulting from overloading, and its associated pathologies. Adopting a multiscale approach, ranging in structural resolution from the macro to fibril levels, this is a must-have guide to the field and an ideal resource for researchers seeking new and creative approaches for studying the joint and spine tissues.
