Kinanthropometry and Exercise Physiology Laboratory Manual: Tests, Procedures and Data
Kinanthropometry is the study of human body size, shape and form and how those characteristics relate to human movement and sporting performance. In this fully updated and revised edition of the classic guide to kinanthropometric theory and practice, leading international sport and exercise scientists offer a clear and comprehensive introduction to essential principles and techniques. Each chapter guides the reader through the planning and conduct of practical and laboratory sessions and includes a survey of current theory and contemporary literature relating to that topic. The book is fully illustrated and includes worked examples, exercises, research data, chapter summaries and guides to f...
The Young Athlete
This essential new volume in the Encyclopaedia of Sports Medicine series, published under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee, provides a thorough overview of the unique physiologic characteristics, responsiveness to training, and possible health hazards involved in the training, coaching, and medical care of young athletes. Intense involvement in competitive sports often begins during childhood. During adolescence, many athletes reach their peak performance and some may participate in World Championships and Olympic Games at a relatively young age. The Young Athlete presents the available information relevant to exercise and training in youth, reviewed and summarized by auth...
Exercise and Sport Science
Written by experts in exercise physiology, exercise science, and biomechanics, this volume focuses specifically on exercise science in relation to athletic performance and to the diagnosis, management, and prevention of athletic injuries. The text is logically organized into sections on energy metabolism, exercise physiology, organ system responses to exercise, general concerns in applied exercise science, sports biomechanics, and applied sports physiology. The biomechanics and sports physiology sections focus on particular sports, to determine specific diagnosis and treatment aspects. The book also includes chapters on exercise in children and the elderly, environmental influences on physical performance, overtraining, chronobiology, and microgravity.
Pediatric Sports Medicine for Primary Care
This book combines the needs of pediatric, adolescent, and young adult athletes with practical, clinically useful information needed by primary care practitioners to guide and treat this athletic population. Chapters follow a standard format completely supported by easy-to-use illustrations and tables. Comprehensive and detailed, its focus is on the content necessary to pass the CAQ in Sports Medicine offered by the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) and the American Board of Family Practitioners (ABFP).

Developing Power
You only need a glimpse of a power forward grabbing a rebound or running back changing direction and turning up field to realize the importance of power for optimal athletic performance. Developing Power, Second Edition, is the definitive resource on training for power so you can sprint, jump, throw, change direction, or strike with explosiveness. Written by the National Strength and Conditioning Association, Developing Power provides the latest research-based recommendations for assessing and training for muscular power. You’ll learn how to apply assessment protocols for jumps, throws, and ballistic exercises and how to apply the results to design programs to address specific athletic nee...
Genetics and Sports
This publication reviews past, current and future applications of genetic research in the fields of exercise science and sports medicine. It highlights ethical concerns, potential clinical applications and exploitation of genetic information. The authors, an interdisciplinary group of experts comprising clinicians, exercise scientists, human geneticists and other biological scientists, present an integrated and holistic understanding of the field to the reader. Several chapters of the book address the issue of nature and nurture in determining athletic ability and etiology of sports injuries. Other chapters are dealing with genetics and performance research during premolecular and molecular ...
Ecohydrology & Hydrobiology
The international journal Ecohydrology & Hydrobiology (E&H) has been created to promote the concept of Ecohydrology, which is defined as the study of the functional interrelations between hydrology and biota at the catchment scale. Ecohydrology extends from the molecular level to catchment-scale processes and is based on three principles: • framework (hydrological principle) - quantification and integration of hydrological and ecological processes at a basin scale; • target (ecological principle) - necessity of enhancing ecosystem absorbing capacity and ecosystem services; and • management tool (ecological engineering) – the use of ecosystem properties for regulation the interplay be...
