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.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Programming Multi-Agent Systems, ProMAS 2007, held in Honolulu, HI, USA, in May 2007 as an associated event of AAMAS 2007, the 6th International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems. The 11 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited articles address current issues in the areas of agent platforms, environment and interaction, agent programming languages, and analysis of MAS.
This book presents selected tutorial lectures given at the summer school on Multi-Agent Systems and Their Applications held in Prague, Czech Republic, in July 2001 under the sponsorship of ECCAI and Agent Link. The 20 lectures by leading researchers in the field presented in the book give a competent state-of-the-art account of research and development in the field of multi-agent systems and advanced applications. The book offers parts on foundations of MAS; social behaviour, meta-reasoning, and learning; and applications.
