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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Athletes All: Training, Organization, and Play Forces are now inoculated with the zeal for sport. Yet it should be remembered that, after all, our boys were the ones who had had these athletics in the very earliest days, even before they put on long trousers, and this educational development along these lines has told, as the evidence in this war soundly cor roborates. For this reason it seems particu larly appropriate that something in the r sum of not only the present sports but those that have been brought into special promi nence by the war should be compiled for the use of our boys and young men throughout the nation. They are the ones who have been looking forward eagerly and wishing they were older in order to be in this contest. And they form the stock and backbone of the generation that is coming on, and upon whom will come, whether they like it or not, many of the further burdens which are now upon older shoulders. This book is offered in the h0pe that it will be of some service in this way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Athletic Trainer In the multitude of physical culture counsels derived from all parts of the world, the author believes that none surpass or even equal the old-fashioned English training methods which once stood for our unassailable supremacy in the field of athletics. The American coaches, supposedly gifted with supernatural powers, freely admit that the foundation-stone of their reflected successes in recent years was laid by the teachings of the old school of England's professional athletes. These imply an adherence to simple and therefore natural health rules combined with a nice technical understanding. Nowadays, elementary details are mostly neglected or overlooked, for the reason that most of the qualified track trainers have gone out of business. They and their kind have had to seek other occupations. Some have gone to America, and many are to be found tending to the professional football teams up and down the country.

This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physical Training Treated From American and European Points of View The Sun has done me the compliment to ask for some account of my journeying and studies during my stay in Europe, from the middle of May, 1888, until the end of August, 1889. But it seems to me that I can better serve the cause of physical training, in which the public is beginning to take a livelier and more intelligent interest than hitherto, by foregoing any attempt to give an itinerary or description of my travels and observations, however interesting and instructive they were to myself, and by attempting to set forth, in as impersonal a way as possible, some of the conclusions at which I have arrived as the result of my personal study of gymnasia, play-grounds, public and military schools, and orthopaedic institutes in America, as well as in England, Germany, Switzerland, Russia, and Sweden, and to note some of the problems with regard to physical training which are occupying or seem likely soon to occupy the attention of educators in Baltimore, as well as in other parts of the country. As I shall not cumber what I have to say with references to authorities, or with my reasons for what may appear to be unsupported and arbitrary opinions, it seems proper for me to state that, before I was enabled to devote some months to the study of athletics and gymnastics in England d(iermanv. in i8Sr, I had had occasion to visit all the P.E.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Long Distance Running and Training In the old days pedestrians used to make themselves believe that in order to accomplish anything of an athletic nature it was necessary to lay down certain hard and fast lines as regards food, from which it was little better than suicide to depart. The modern athlete is wiser in his day and recognizes that it is not necessary to gerge with raw beef, or to over-heat his blood, in order to be in prime con dition. In those davs it was thought becoming to eat big chunks of underdonemeat, to feast on eggs and to do all kinds of things that made training a wearisome, unpleasant and exhaustive task. To-dav we eat of such food as we fancy in a moderate wav, and we are thf better for it in health and performance.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Training of the Body for Games, Athletics, Gymnastics, and Other Forms There are many excellent Papers on the subject Of health. In America alone there are three, viz. Good Health Health Culture and Physical Culture'. England has several similar publications, Of which Sandow's is one. These are well worth taking in regularly and studying carefully, and they are very widely read, but somehow by themselves they do not produce enough effect upon the public. People rush through the pages, and then little remains in the memory. The same applies to the hundreds of Magazines which are published every year. In them are many valuable and interesting statistics, which, however, it is almost impossible to remember a week after one has read them.
