Book Monitoring Training and Performance in Athletes

Download or read book Monitoring Training and Performance in Athletes written by Mike McGuigan and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2017-04-19 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of athlete and team training and performance monitoring systems has grown due to technology advances. Practitioners who work with athletes from high school to elite levels in a range of sports use these systems to observe athlete data, including exercise intensity, athletic fitness, and body responses. Monitoring Training and Performance in Athletes is a compilation of evidence-based guidelines and best practices of athlete monitoring for practitioners, who are increasingly being asked to implement monitoring systems and to collect, analyze, and interpret data that ultimately result in training adjustments to optimize performance. Author Mike McGuigan, an award-winning sport scientist, blends research-based concepts with practical application strategies of monitoring training and performance in athletes. The content highlights what can be monitored, such as body stress, biochemical markers, and hormonal response; discusses reliability of modern methods, such as wearable technology and questionnaires; and helps readers understand how to interpret data to modify training programs in real time. Readers will find guidelines, approaches, and solutions for challenges in athlete monitoring for individual and team sports as well as suggestions for integrating monitoring with coaching. Numerous sidebars in the text provide real-world examples and application of the content to assist readers in understanding concepts and the cutting-edge, evidence-based research on athlete monitoring. Additionally, the full-color illustrations and photographs provide a visual interpretation of the information presented. With broad international appeal, this text outlines the most pertinent evidence-based research concepts and studies on athlete monitoring. Strength and conditioning, athletic training, and personal training professionals who work with athletes and monitor training programs will find Monitoring Training and Performance in Athletes an invaluable guide in managing monitoring systems and making adjustments in training programs based on the data to help athletes and teams achieve peak performance.

Book The Relative Effectiveness of Three Forms of Visual Knowledge of Results on Maximal Strength Output in an Isokinetic Extension flexion of the Knee

Download or read book The Relative Effectiveness of Three Forms of Visual Knowledge of Results on Maximal Strength Output in an Isokinetic Extension flexion of the Knee written by Susan Laurie Hobbel and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This experiment was conducted to study the effects of three different forms of visual knowledge of results (KR) on maximal strength output in isokinetic exercise. The task used was an isokinetic extension of the knee, followed by a corresponding flexion. Four, six-subject experimental groups completed four testing sessions conducted over a five-day period. Group one represented a no-KR control condition. Group two was provided with visual KR in the form of a continuous torque-output display during treatment sessions. Groups three and four were provided with concurrent and summary torque-time graphs as visual KR, respectively. A pre-test was completed during the first experimental session. Two consecutive testing sessions followed the pre-testing session. After a one-day retention interval, a post-test and a retention test comprised the final session. The dependent measure of maximum peak torque (MPT) was collected at each of two exercise speeds. Pre- and post-test MPT scores were analyzed using a 2 X 4 (pre-/post- X group) analysis of variance (ANOVA) for each exercise speed and movement direction. Day-to-day effects were evaluated using 3 X 4 (day 1 / day 2 / retention day X group) ANOVAs. Group means for factors yielding significant F-scores were compared using Tukey's WSD post-hoc comparisons procedure. The experimental findings indicated that post-test scores increased for all groups, in both movement directions, when compared to pre-test scores. Results also revealed that although the no-KR control group exerted significantly higher mean MPT output during treatment and retention sessions, visual KR presented concurrent with performance led to significant increases in mean MPT output when compared to visual KR presented according to a summary schedule. Four major conclusions resulted from the experimental findings. First, maximal strength output may be achieved in the absence of visual KR. Second, more precise information (such as provided by a concurrent torque-time graph) becomes more effective at low exercise speeds when sufficient time for information processing is available subsequent to the presentation of visual KR. Third, visual KR presented concurrent with performance is a more effective performance and learning variable in isokinetic exercise when compared to visual KR presented according to a summary schedule. Last, visual KR may provide a reference of performance which serves as a limiting criterion in a maximal-effort task.

Book Patellofemoral Pain  Instability  and Arthritis

Download or read book Patellofemoral Pain Instability and Arthritis written by Stefano Zaffagnini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-07-17 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite numerous studies, a lack of consensus still exists over many aspects of patellofemoral pain, instability, and arthritis. This book adopts an evidence-based approach to assess each of these topics in depth. The book reviews general features of clinical examination and global evaluation techniques including the use of different imaging methods, e.g. x-rays, CT, MRI, stress x-rays, and bone scan. Various conservative and surgical treatment approaches for each of the three presentations – pain, instability, and arthritis – are then explained and assessed. Postoperative management and options in the event of failed surgery are also evaluated. Throughout, careful attention is paid to the literature in an attempt to establish the level of evidence for the efficacy of each imaging and treatment method. It is hoped that this book will serve as an informative guide for the practitioner when confronted with disorders of the patellofemoral joint.
