Download or read book The Young Athlete written by Helge Hebestreit and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential new volume in the Encyclopaedia of Sports Medicine series, published under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee, provides a thorough overview of the unique physiologic characteristics, responsiveness to training, and possible health hazards involved in the training, coaching, and medical care of young athletes. Intense involvement in competitive sports often begins during childhood. During adolescence, many athletes reach their peak performance and some may participate in World Championships and Olympic Games at a relatively young age. The Young Athlete presents the available information relevant to exercise and training in youth, reviewed and summarized by authors who are recognized as leaders in their respective fields. The Young Athlete is subdivided into seven parts covering: the physiologic bases of physical performance in view of growth and development; trainability and the consequences of a high level of physical activity during childhood and adolescence for future health; the epidemiology of injuries, their prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation; non-orthopedic health concerns including the pre-participation examination; psychosocial issues relevant to young athletes; diseases relevant to child and adolescent athletes; the methodology relevant to the assessment of young athletes. This valuable reference summarizes a large database of information from thousands of studies and is especially relevant to sports physicians, pediatricians, general practitioners, physical therapists, dietitians, coaches, students, and researchers in the exercise sciences.

Download or read book Waterlogged written by Timothy Noakes and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Drink as much as you can, even before you feel thirsty." That's been the mantra to athletes and coaches for the past three decades, and bottled water and sports drinks have flourished into billion-dollar industries in the same short time. The problem is that an overhydrated athlete is at a performance disadvantage and at risk of exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH)--a potentially fatal condition. Dr. Tim Noakes takes you inside the science of athlete hydration for a fascinating look at the human body’s need for water and how it uses the liquids it ingests. He also chronicles the shaky research that reported findings contrary to results in nearly all of Noakes’ extensive and since-confirmed studies. In Waterlogged, Noakes sets the record straight, exposing the myths surrounding dehydration and presenting up-to-date hydration guidelines for endurance sport and prolonged training activities. Enough with oversold sports drinks and obsessing over water consumption before, during, and after every workout, he says. Time for the facts—and the prevention of any more needless fatalities.

Download or read book Swimming Science written by G. John Mullen and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the secrets of physiology, hydrodynamics, and other scientific aspects of swimming to enhance your skills and speed! Low-impact, beneficial at any age, and just plain fun, swimming is an excellent workout—and the same scientific principles apply whether you’re competing for a medal or practicing your backstroke in the backyard. Each time you suit up and dive in, your body’s moving parts must work together to propel you through dozens of pounds of water resistance, somehow emulating the movements of species that evolved specifically for the water. What are the physical forces at work when you get in a pool, and what determines whether you will sink or swim? In this enlightening and useful volume, contributors break down every aspect of the sport. Swimming Science covers physiology, psychology, and safety, as well as hydrodynamics, nutrition, and technique. Each chapter examines these topics through a series of practical questions: *What are the forces acting on you when you swim, and how do your muscles best generate propulsion against those forces? *How much protein, salt, and iron should a swimmer consume, and how does energy from carbohydrates compare to energy from fats? *How important is the “swimmer’s physique” in competitive swimming, and is technique or strength more necessary for generating speed? These questions and more are examined with the aid of explanatory diagrams and illustrations. No matter whether you swim for exercise, enjoyment, or athletic achievement, Swimming Science adds a new dimension to the sport. “Swimming Science is a wonderful read for those interested in understanding how extraordinary athletes have been able to swim at incredible speed. But it is also an inspiring and potentially transforming read for ordinary people for whom swimming is simply a love story with the water.” —American Journal of Public Health
