As the first primer on the effects of exercise on human hypertension, Effects of Exercise on Hypertension: From Cells to Physiological Systems provides the state-of-the-art effects of exercise on the many possible mechanisms underlying essential hypertension in humans. The book contains chapters by distinguished experts on the effects of exercise on physiological systems known to be involved in hypertension development and maintenance as well as less well known aspects of hypertension such as 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure profile and oxidative stress. An emerging area, the effects of resistance exercise training on blood pressure is also covered. A unique aspect of the book is that it co...
From an evolutionary perspective, our species has relied upon physical activity for most of its history to survive and has had to escape from predators, to scavenge for food, and to use physique to work or build necessary means for everyday life. Physical activity has been part of our evolution and progress since the very beginning and, consequently, our entire body has been programmed to be active physically. In the last 20 years, scientific research has increasingly shown that our ancient survival principle has beneficial effects not only on the cells and organs involved in physical activities but on the metabolism of the entire organism, influencing the homeostasis and integration of all ...
The present work proposes a tour from quantum physics to genetic engineering, going through us and a little further. It is a subtle and deep ride that dives into mankind's biggest mysteries. The proposal is to present scientific knowledge through an accessible language, worthy of a science fiction author. However, the author uses his academic knowledge to approach the subject with seriousness, in which the theoretical base is the fruit of an extensive research aiming to bring updated information, supported by renowned books and articles. In a beautiful fusion of the complicated and the subtle, the objective is to simply challenge you to think about everything and the anti-everything, through...
If you’ve ever felt lost in the sea of contradictory training and diet advice out there and you just want to know once and for all what works and what doesn’t—what’s scientifically true and what’s false—when it comes to building muscle and getting ripped, then you need to read this book. Let me ask you a question. Do any of the following claims sound familiar? “I have bad genetics—I’m a ‘hardgainer.’” “You have to work your abs more to get a six-pack.” “When doing cardio, you want your heart rate in the ‘fat burning zone.’” “You have to do cardio for 20 minutes before your body starts burning fat.” “Don’t eat at night if you want to lose weight.”...
If you've ever felt lost in the sea of contradictory training and diet advice out there and you want to know the truth behind 12 of the most common, and most harmful health & fitness myths out there. then you want to read this book. Let me ask you a few questions. Do you believe that your genetics are preventing you from making great gains in the gym? Do you do certain exercises because they're supposed to shape your muscles? Do you stretch before lifting weights to prevent injury or increase strength? When doing cardio, do you shoot for a target heart rate zone to burn the most fat possible? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you're in good company as most people do the same. Bu...
This book contains information on recent advances in aetiology and pathogenesis of idiopathic scoliosis, for the assessment of this condition before treatment and during the follow-up, making a note of emerging technology and analytical techniques like virtual anatomy by 3-D MRI/CT, quantitative MRI and Moire Topography. Some new trends in conservative treatment and the long term outcome and complications of surgical treatment are described. Issues like health related quality of life, psychological aspects of scoliosis treatment and the very important "patient's perspective" are also discussed. Finally two chapters tapping the untreated early onset scoliosis and the congenital kyphoscoliosis due to hemivertebra are included. It must be emphasized that knowledgeable authors with their contributions share their experience and enthusiasm with peers interested in scoliosis.
