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.
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.
FASTER
Triathlon is among the world's most gear-intensive sports. The gear you select and how you use it can mean big results--or bigger disappointment. FASTER takes a scientific look at triathlon to see what truly makes you faster--and busts the myths and doublespeak that waste your money and race times. In this fascinating exploration of the forces at play in the swim-bike-run sport, astronautical engineer and triathlete Jim Gourley shows where to find free speed, speed on a budget, and the gear upgrades that are worth it. FASTER offers specific, science-based guidance on the fastest techniques and the most effective gear, answering questions like: Which wetsuit is best for me? What's the best wa...
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 Performance During the Exercise
Over the years, there has been a growing interest in the study of issues related to the psychophysiological processes underlying sports performance. A relatively recent perspective is supported by the concept that the brain acts as a central regulator of performance during exercise. This phenomenon is called pacing and is based on the premise that prior knowledge about the activity plays a fundamental role for individuals to self-regulate their efforts throughout the exercise. However, knowledge regarding this topic remains scarce, and further clarification is needed. This chapter reports new perspectives in relation to the existing evidence regarding the role of the brain as a central regulator of performance, questioning the complex interdependencies and interrelations between fatigue and physical exercise in the light of a psychophysiological perspective. A broader understanding of the cognitive basis of the psychophysiological phenomenon during the exercise is needed, bringing together concepts such as pacing behavior, decision-making, self-regulation of effort, prior knowledge of the duration of the task, and perception of effort.

Warming-Up for Resistance Training and Muscular Performance
Warming-up is an indispensable component of any type of training, aiming to prepare the body for the intensity required by the following exercises. The use of different types of warm-up seems to produce different results, mainly because of the effects on force production. However, the research is not clear and further research is needed. The present study aimed to analyze and discuss the main results of the literature regarding the effects of warm-up on force production, as well as to analyze those responses during resistance training and maximal strength assessments. Additionally, based on the outcomes, we intended to suggest some practical recommendations for sports-related professionals a...
