The Use of Technology in Sport
The development and implementation of new technology devices to help professionals, athletes, and non-athletes improve their physical fitness, performance, health, and well-being have emerged in the last few years. This book briefly overviews the current state of the art in technology applied to sports, providing examples, literature syntheses, and recent applications to sports, focused on the most important evidenced-based developments in this area. Attention is drawn to issues and unusual matters that may arise when it comes to technological innovation applied to sport. For the reader, this could be a different perspective on technological progress in physical activity.
Sports Science and Human Health
In this era of sedentary lifestyles and disruption, sports science can propose solutions to human health matters. There is no doubt about the positive impact of sports on the physical as well as mental health of an individual, by extrapolation to the society at large. But with the advent of the latest technologies in the sports domain, the body of knowledge about sports science and human health is reaching new heights. The “Sports Science and Human Health - Different Approaches” book aims to expose worldwide research and development works in an explicit manner. Readers will appreciate the diversity of the topics, ranging from the use of machine learning in sports science to the psychological impact of sports and sports for peace initiatives. A large section is dedicated to wearable devices like biomechanical devices to gauge motor skills, and other smart devices to assess player performance. Beyond awareness, the multidisciplinary nature of this book is a source of inspiration for the scientific community.

The first part of the text focuses on the foundations of SDP, addressing its history, sociological aspects, specific goals—such as development, inclusion, sport participation, and conflict resolutio...
Interactive Sports Technologies
Building on the unfolding and expanding embeddedness of digital technologies in all aspects of life, Interactive Sports Technologies: Performance, Participation, Safety focuses on the intersection of body movement, physical awareness, engineering, design, software, and hardware to capture emerging trends for enhancing sports and athletic activities. The accessible and inspiring compilation of theoretical, critical, and phenomenological approaches utilizes the domain of sports to extend our understanding of the nexus between somatic knowledge and human-computer interaction in general. Within this framework, the chapters in this volume draw upon a variety of concepts, processes, practices, and elucidative examples to bring together a timely assessment of interactive technologies’ potential to facilitate increased performance, participation, and safety in sports. This collection of chapters from international authors presents diverse perspectives from a wide range of academic and practice-based researchers within a comprehensive coverage of sport disciplines.
O Vaqueiro e a Senhora das águas
Nesta obra, Daniel se apropria da história do vaqueiro e reafirma seu compromisso social por uma sociedade mais igualitária, sua luta por justiça social e por uma convivência equilibrada entre o homem e o mundo natural. Vai apontando valores humanos que deveriam nortear as ações dos indivíduos e da coletividade, a convivência entre os homens e os outros seres vivos e tenta chamar atenção para o que perdemos no caminho. Será que ainda há tempo de refazer o caminho, e desta feita tomar as decisões que não nos tragam a esse quase fim do mundo? Daniel veste o gibão do velho vaqueiro, Tenório, e tenta, como o vaqueiro de outrora, enfrentar os desafios que se lhes colocam pela frente. Talvez, como Dom Quixote, precise enfrentar grandes moinhos de ventos, mas tem a convicção certeira de que vale a luta.
