Performance Analysis in Sport
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact.
The Role of Physical Fitness on Cardiovascular Responses to Stress
Cardiovascular responses to physical and/ or mental stressors has been a topic of great interest for some time. For example, significant changes of cardiovascular control and reactivity have been highlighted as important mechanisms for the protective effect of exercise as a simple and effective, non medical therapy for many pathologies. However, despite the great number of studies performed to date (e.g. >54,000 entries in Pubmed for “cardiovascular stress”), important questions of the role stress has on cardiovascular function still remain. For instance, What factors account for the different cardiovascular responses between mental and physical stressors? How do these different componen...
Science of Sport, Exercise and Physical Activity in the Tropics
The Greek philosopher Aristotle first suggested the earth could be divided into types of climatic zones, based on their distance from the equator. The region nearest the equator was termed the Torrid Zone and was considered uninhabitable. However, almost half of the world's population now live, exercise and regularly compete in this Torrid Zone, which in modern times, we recognise as the tropics. This book is the first text to report the mechanisms, interventions, implications and practical considerations of sport, exercise and physical activity in the tropics. Tropical conditions impose a unique blend of challenges to human physical performance and these areas are thoroughly interrogated in this monograph. Pertinent commentaries of physiology, behaviour, sports and physical activity considerations in hot, humid, tropical conditions are provided. These are additionally supported by peer-reviewed cutting edge research articles to maximise performance in the tropics.

Improving Practice and Performance in Basketball
Despite being one of the most popular sports worldwide, basketball has received limited research attention compared to other team sports. Establishing a strong evidence base with high-quality and impactful research is essential in enhancing decision-making processes to optimize player performance for basketball professionals. Consequently, the book entitled Improving Performance and Practice in Basketball provides a collection of novel research studies to increase the available evidence on various topics with strong translation to practice in basketball. The book includes work by 40 researchers from 16 institutions or professional organizations from 9 countries. In keeping with notable topic...
Exercise Physiology
Exercise Physiology builds on the successful Powers foundations with a new edition developed specifically for students in Australia and New Zealand. Written by exercise physiology researchers and academics from across Australia and New Zealand, this brand new resource provides access to the best content, aligned with ESSA (Exercise and Sports Science Australia) and Australian nutrition guidelines. With a focus on local sports, such as rugby, AFL and netball, examples are more applicable and chapters also include local statistics, guidelines and units of measurement to help students visualise the theory.With its clear and engaging style, this book is easy-to-read, but with a level of depth an...
Post-Exercise Recovery: Fundamental and Interventional Physiology
Physiological responses after maximal and submaximal exercise are routinely monitored in a plethora of diseases (e.g. cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, asthma, neuromuscular disorders), and normal populations (e.g. athletes, youth, elderly), while slower or irregular post-exercise recovery usually indicates poor health and/or low fitness level. Abnormal post-exercise recovery (as assessed via blunted post-exercise heart rate dynamics) helps to predict the presence and severity of coronary artery disease, while differences in recovery outcomes in athletes might discriminate between fit and unfit individuals. Disturbances in post-exercise recovery might be due to acute or persistent c...
The Science and Practice of Rugby Training
This book links the increasingly important science behind the training and recovery of rugby players with easy to understand and practical examples of how this knowledge can be implemented on the training field or in the gym. The book is unique in the way that it outlines simple tools and techniques to improve rugby player performance. The book covers the latest scientific evidence on common training practices and theories and sums up their practical use for rugby players. The book will be an invaluable resource for those interested in the scientific training approach to team sport players including coaches, strength and conditioning personnel, physiotherapists, and sport doctors along with students and sports enthusiasts. In addition, while the practical examples used in the book are specific to rugby players, the scientific knowledge within the book would be useful to many athletes and coaches thereby increasing the scope of the book to many sports.
Home Advantage in Sport
This is the first book exploring the concept of home advantage (HA), the well-known beneficial effect that players and teams derive from performing at home in all sports throughout the world. Despite the fact that the existence of HA dates back to the origins of organized sport in the late 19th century, its root causes and how they operate and interact with each other are still unclear and remain the topic of intense research involving many disciplines, all with the potential objective of improving team and individual performance. This book covers a broad review of HA divided into three different sections: (i) Section 1 focuses on the theory of HA in sport (the concept of this phenomenon, it...
