Principles of Exercise Neuroscience
It is well-established that the human nervous system is able to modify its functions in response to activity or experience. This response has been termed ‘neuroplasticity’ and involves the reorganisation of neural circuits that control human movement. Recent evidence suggests that the primary motor cortex (M1) can experience neuroplasticity following various types of physical activity. Although neuroplasticity can be stimulated in a variety of ways, recently, it has been reported following exercise, injury and during periods of rehabilitation. This book introduces the key concepts that underpin human motor control and its application to exercise science and rehabilitation. The topics cov...
Concussion in Professional Team Sports: Time for a Harmonised Approach?
The risk of athletes sustaining concussion while participating in professional team sports raises two serious concerns both nationally and internationally. First, concussion in sport carries a public health risk, given that injured athletes may have to deal with significant long-term medical complications, with some of the worst cases resulting in Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). Secondly, sports governing bodies are now exposed to the risk of financial and reputational damage as a consequence of legal proceedings being filed against them. A good example of this, among many other recent examples, is the case of the United States of America’s National Football League (NFL), the governing body for American football, which, in 2015, committed to pay US$ 1 billion to settle the class action filed by its former professional players. This book examines how to most efficiently reduce these public health and legal risks, and proposes a harmonised solution across sports and legal systems.

Planning Gains
This guide, written by A. Wenban-Smith & B. Pearce, in its first edition advocated the partnership approach to development, an approach which has since increasingly superseded the confrontational relationship between developers and local authorities.This new edition takes account of the major changes in law and practice that have accompanied this shift. In the present work, a full introduction to the practical operation of the planning system in this new context is provided, as is guidance on whom to approach in a planning authority, how to present ideas to it, and how to handle negotiations. Case studies included.
AQA English Language B AS Second Edition
These engaging resources provide a range of teaching opportunities that develop skills such as comparing and analysing language extracts, justifying opinions and coursework planning. The books also offer current and topical examples of language use such as idioms, dialects and child language development.
Neuroplasticity Following Skill and Strength Training
The ability for the human motor cortex to change based on experience is now well accepted. Termed Neuroplasticity, convincing evidence is available to challenge the long held view of a functionally stable neocortex that is unable to change. This book presents and discusses data which was collected using the technique of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), as evidence of Neuroplasticity following short and long term skill and strength training.
