Download or read book Power and Health Through Progressive Exercise Classic Reprint written by George Elliot Flint and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Power and Health Through Progressive Exercise It must not be thought, however, that this book deals wholly with heavy gymnastics, weight-lifting, and feats of strength. Many light exercises are given as being valuable to promote elasticity and suppleness; and, in addi tion to these, - as an apprenticeship of mode rate exercises is absolutely necessary in order that one may become capable of the simplest exhibition of force, - many intermediate exer cises are carefully described, and their effects discussed. The effects of common indoor and outdoor athletic sports and exercises are gone into. All which, it is hoped, will make this volume a complete manual of physical culture, suitable alike for those boys and girls, men and women, who may wish, without the aid of a teacher, to make the best of their bodies.

Download or read book Training for Sports Classic Reprint written by Walter Camp and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter Camp's 1921 Training for Sports was intended to be a guide for physical education teachers, coaches, and athletes on how best to prepare their bodies for physical activity. In this sense, it may be best viewed as a guidebook rather than a step by step instruction manual. The book is divided into chapters, which focus on general physical conditioning, mental conditioning, the importance of sleep and diet, as well as specific chapters on the popular sports of the day, such as football, baseball, and track and field. It goes without saying that exercise science has progressed immensely in the nearly one hundred years that have passed since the original publication of Training for Sports. Noserious coach, trainer, or physical educator would be advised to use this book as a reference today. Techniques for both general physical conditioning and sport specific movements have evolved significantly since 1921. Today's game of football is vastly different than that of 1921. The value of Camp's book is thus the historical snapshot it provides. In 1921, training for sports was as much a preparation for a potential war effort than it was for leisure. Camp acknowledges as much in the section on general physical conditioning, stating, "The word training essentially implies a preparation; whether it be for severe physical effort as any athletic competition or military service in time of war, or merely for the ordinary conduct of life." It is clear however that Camp was an expert on the subject matter at the time of writing, and surely would be today were he still alive. He demonstrates remarkable understanding of practices that would come to be known as periodization and specialization, and discourages trainers from promoting a single-sport approach too early in a young athlete's life. Many coaches today would be wise to heed his advice. Training for Sports is recommended for anybody curious about the history of physical conditioning, particularly in the period of this book's initial publication.

Download or read book Sports Psychiatry written by David R. McDuff and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 2012-04-16 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although psychiatrists and other mental health clinicians interested in sports practice already have the necessary general skills to help competitive athletes deal with adversity and the multitude of emotions that sports can elicit, most typically they lack the sports-specific knowledge necessary to truly help these patients and clients. In Sports Psychiatry: Strategies for Life Balance and Peak Performance, the long-time team psychiatrist for the Baltimore Orioles and the Baltimore Ravens intends to remedy this knowledge gap by sharing his unique perspective and rare expertise in cultivating athletes' peak performance while promoting team unity, sound judgement, personal growth, pride, and a lasting sense of accomplishment. The book: Explains sports culture and team structure and function, vividly describing the environment in which elite competition takes place Focuses on the shifting nature and intensity of athletes' emotions -- the highs that come with success and the lows that accompany poor performance -- and describes the situations that magnify them, including injury and pain, media scrutiny, the availability of performance-enhancing drugs, and the fear of both failure and success Addresses critical topics, such as regulating energy, recognizing and controlling stress, preparing mentally for performance, and treating mental disorders common to athletes Draws on the author's length of experience and clinical observations, the evidence base of sports psychiatry, and fascinating stories of athletes at all levels to inform, teach, encourage, and inspire. Although written for mental health professionals, the book will also be of great interest to primary care and sports medicine physicians, athletic trainers, team owners and managers -- and of course -- the athletes themselves. Engaging and insightful, Sports Psychiatry is the go-to book for those in need of practical strategies for supporting and attaining peak performance.
