Biomechanics of Cycling
Bicycles have been a common device to enhance physical fitness level in gyms and training centers along with solid use in competitive sport. For that reason, biomechanics of cycling has grown as a research field with many publications addressing different perspective of the interaction between the cyclist and his bicycle. The most common end point of research on biomechanics of cycling is optimization of performance and reduction of injury risk. One goal of this book is to meet the growing need for a comprehensive presentation of contemporary knowledge on biomechanics of cycling which will positively influence the activity of cycling in a global fashion. In order to accomplish this purpose, ...
Muscle Recovery After Exercise, Training and Competition: Physiological Indicators and Non-invasive Monitoring Techniques
The desire to improve muscle function and prevent overuse injuries from exercise and throughout training has led to the development of various methods to aid recovery and track readiness to perform. Ergogenic aids such as cold-water immersion, massage, and dynamic recovery procedures may have positive effects but the results of the related research remain equivocal. Furthermore, novel interventions in this scenario, like compression garments, ice vests, and photobiomodulation therapy are promising but need more evidence-based data to support their effectiveness. Similarly, to properly monitor individual physical conditioning, there is a growing interest toward unobtrusive measures to accurat...
Application of Infrared Thermography in Sports Science
This book addresses the application of infrared thermography in sports, examining the main benefits of this non-invasive, non-radiating and low-cost technique. Aspects covered include the detection of injuries in sports medicine, the assessment of sports performance due to the existing link between physical fitness and thermoregulation and the analysis of heat transfer for sports garments and sports equipment. Although infrared thermography is broadly considered to be a fast and easy-to-use tool, the ability to deliver accurate and repeatable measurements is an important consideration. Furthermore, it is important to be familiar with the latest sports studies published on this technique to understand its potential and limitations. Accordingly, this book establishes a vital link between laboratory tests and the sports field.
Os desafios da pandemia à produção científica em Ciências do Movimento Humano
O volume 1 da coleção "A pesquisa científica e seus desafios nas Ciências do Movimento Humano" focaliza o impacto da pandemia de covid-19 sobre a vida pessoal e profissional de pais, mães e filhos/as que também são docentes e pesquisadores/as. Diante da realidade pandêmica que assolou o mundo, a pós-graduação foi atingida no seu cerne, e os projetos de investigação tiveram que ser reinventados, cancelados, suspensos ou reformulados. Um pouco da visão de quem faz pesquisa em diferentes campos de atuação é retratado neste volume, expondo os diversos contextos que foram absorvidos por uma realidade digna de filme de ficção. O livro apresenta também as estratégias utilizadas para que as pesquisas científicas fossem levadas a cabo no campo das Ciências do Movimento Humano.
The Vegan Athlete's Nutrition Handbook
Using the latest research in sports nutrition, this handbook helps athletes maximize their performance, expedite recovery, and optimize their health through balanced, plant-based eating. Debunking the myth that a plant-based diet and high-intensity athleticism just don’t mix, The Vegan Athlete's Nutrition Handbook is a comprehensive guidebook for anyone looking to dive deep into the science behind plant-based eating and peak performance. Making the choice to switch to a plant-based diet shouldn't mean giving up your gains — in fact, incorporating more plant-based foods may even give you an athletic advantage — provided you know how to properly fuel your body while eating vegan. The Veg...
