Book excerpt: Leah Jung is passionate about Parkour. A dedicated Christian, she has one secret, disabling trauma—a fear of one specific move in the sport she calls her life. During her training, she unexpectedly comes face to face with world-class tracuer, Ethan Simpson. He appears to fall for her and suggests that she train with a group—an idea that grows into a vision of teaching teens Parkour while bringing them to the knowledge of the One True God Who loves them. Together with four friends, Leah brings this dream into reality. But not all is as simple as it seems. The kids bring with them their own struggles, broken dreams, and past hurts. Through it all, Team Set Free—Javin, Leah, Vic, Guy, and Shana—stand strong in the face of opposition, disappointments, and setbacks. The team is determined to see the teens to the end—to see them transformed by the redeeming power of Christ. And through God’s overpowering grace and mercy, Team Set Free makes a lasting difference in the lives of young adults in the community, setting them free from fears and obstacles through Parkour and the living Word of God.

An overview of gymnastics injury epidemiology lays the foundation for the rest of the book. Growth and developmental issues are also discussed in detail, as many young gymnasts train long hours before or during puberty.

In training in free running, one is able to increase their physical abilities dramatically, from flexibility to strength to agility. Free running is the ultimate exercise. And the best part is that doing it is incredibly fun. Noted free runner Zach Rucker guides you through the amazing world of free running, teaching you how to train to be a free runner as well as running through the basic moves and a few of the more advanced moves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a decade of research by two leading action sports scholars, this book maps the relationship between action sports and the Olympic Movement, from the inclusion of the first action sports to those featuring for the first time in the Tokyo Olympic Games and beyond. In an effort to remain relevant to younger audiences, four new action sports, surfing, skateboarding, sport climbing, and BMX freestyle were included in the Tokyo Olympic program. Drawing upon interviews with Olympic insiders, as well as leaders, athletes, and participants in these action sports communities, the book details the impacts on the action sports industry and cultures, and offers national comparisons to show the uneven effects resulting from Olympic inclusion. It reveals the intricate workings of power and politics in contemporary sports organisations, and maps key trends in this changing sporting landscape. Action Sports and the Olympic Games is a fascinating read for anybody studying the Olympics, the sociology of sport, action sports, or sport policy.
