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...
Mental Practice: Clinical and Experimental Research in Imagery and Action Observation
There is now strong evidence demonstrating that the brain simulates action and other functions. Such action simulation can be evoked through conscious mental rehearsal of movement or imagery, but also through passive action observation watching movements in others. Furthermore, there is evidence to suggest that mental rehearsal of movement, or mental practice, can produce improvements normally attributed to practising actual movements. It is currently assumed that such improvements are due to neural activation associated with action simulation. However the neuroscience of mental practice efficacy is still poorly understood. The aim of this research topic is to clarify the underlying mechanis...

Too Flexible to Feel Good
Hypermobility affects a whopping 10 to 25 percent of the population (meaning it's more common than being left-handed, standing over six feet tall, or having a third nipple), and it can cause symptoms ranging from minor discomfort to debilitating pain. In this epic new book, fitness experts Adell Bridges and Celest Pereira redefine how to manage hypermobility, providing a practical roadmap that will enable you to harness your bendiness and feel fantastic.
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder is a condition most often characterized by severe shoulder pain and functional restriction of the shoulder motion in multiple directions. About 4% of the general population will develop a frozen shoulder, with numbers rising to 59% in patients with diabetes mellitus. It curiously only develops between the age of 40 and 60 years, affects more women than men and seems to be more common in patients with sedentary jobs. Disease duration varies between 1 and 3 years and consequently has a large impact on the health and economic well-being of individuals and society. Frozen Shoulder: Present and Future provides readers with insight into one of the most mysterious diseases of the human body. One day you’re perfectly fine, and the next day you’re hit by unbearable shoulder pain, which sets in motion many sleepless nights: welcome to the mysterious world of frozen shoulder. Presents evidence-based treatment of frozen shoulder Includes a section on future perspectives and ongoing research Written by international renowned experts
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.
