The Science of Climbing and Mountaineering

This is the first book to explore in depth the science of climbing and mountaineering. Written by a team of leading international sport scientists, clinicians and climbing practitioners, it covers the full span of technical disciplines, including rock climbing, ice climbing, indoor climbing and mountaineering, across all scientific fields from physiology and biomechanics to history, psychology, medicine, motor control, skill acquisition, and engineering. Striking a balance between theory and practice, this uniquely interdisciplinary study provides practical examples and illustrative data to demonstrate the strategies that can be adopted to promote safety, best practice, injury prevention, re...

Post-Exercise Recovery: Fundamental and Interventional Physiology

Post-Exercise Recovery: Fundamental and Interventional Physiology

Physiological responses after maximal and submaximal exercise are routinely monitored in a plethora of diseases (e.g. cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, asthma, neuromuscular disorders), and normal populations (e.g. athletes, youth, elderly), while slower or irregular post-exercise recovery usually indicates poor health and/or low fitness level. Abnormal post-exercise recovery (as assessed via blunted post-exercise heart rate dynamics) helps to predict the presence and severity of coronary artery disease, while differences in recovery outcomes in athletes might discriminate between fit and unfit individuals. Disturbances in post-exercise recovery might be due to acute or persistent c...

The Science and Practice of Rugby Training

This book links the increasingly important science behind the training and recovery of rugby players with easy to understand and practical examples of how this knowledge can be implemented on the training field or in the gym. The book is unique in the way that it outlines simple tools and techniques to improve rugby player performance. The book covers the latest scientific evidence on common training practices and theories and sums up their practical use for rugby players. The book will be an invaluable resource for those interested in the scientific training approach to team sport players including coaches, strength and conditioning personnel, physiotherapists, and sport doctors along with students and sports enthusiasts. In addition, while the practical examples used in the book are specific to rugby players, the scientific knowledge within the book would be useful to many athletes and coaches thereby increasing the scope of the book to many sports.

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living: Anniversary Edition

As we celebrate one year since the launch of Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, in this anniversary edition we wish to showcase a collection of selected articles published across both the natural and social science specialty sections. Led by Gregoire Millet (University of Lausanne) and Richard Giulianotti (Loughborough University), Frontiers in Sports in Active Living provides a multidisciplinary platform to examine sports, physical activity, exercise training and active living from all perspectives and, as a journal, we would like to thank all our editors and authors for their contributions and support.

Optimization of Exercise Countermeasures for Human Space Flight – Lessons from Terrestrial Physiology and Operational Implementation

Human spaceflight has required space agencies to study and develop exercise countermeasure (CM) strategies to manage the profound, multi-system adaptation of the human body to prolonged microgravity (μG). Future space exploration will present new challenges in terms of adaptation management that will require the attention of both exercise physiologists and operational experts. In the short to medium-term, all exploration missions will be realised using relatively small vehicles/habitats, with some exploration scenarios including surface operations in low (<1G) gravity conditions. The evolution of CM hardware has allowed modern-day astronauts to return to Earth with, on average, relatively m...
