Este livro apresenta quatro partes principais: na primeira, após uma introdução e um capítulo versando sobre a individualidade biológica e exercício, serão abordadas as qualidades físicas principais (Força, Velocidade, Coordenação Motora, Agilidade, Flexibilidade, Resistência). Na segunda parte, os autores convidados se debruçam sobre as modalidades esportivas (Futebol, Futsal, Vôlei, Golfe e Atletismo). Obviamente, em função da sólida responsabilidade científica dos organizadores da obra, apenas foram incluídos os esportes e as qualidades físicas sobre as quais já houvesse publicações científicas, que lhes associassem à dermatoglifia. Na terceira parte do livro, os capítulos versam sobre os distintos campos de utilização da dermatoglifia: a detecção dos talentos esportivos; a preparação física de atletas e a prescrição de exercício, todos também, apresentado o assunto com as devidas interfaces com a dermatoglifia. Por fim, os últimos elementos da publicação tratam do leitor dermatoglífico e dos laudos, fechando com êxito tão importante contribuição para as ciências brasileira e mundial.
Cortisol, the main stress hormone, is a marker of the body's adaptation to challenge. Physiology and regulation of cortisol are intricately related to an individual's health, both physical and psychological. In this book, the authors present current research in the physiology, regulation and health implications of cortisol. Topics include cortisol transport across biological barriers; the biophysical correlates of cortisol activity in children exposed to natural disasters; predictions of physiological disorders by accurate measurement of the cortisol to cortisone ratios and the relationship of cortisol to physical exercise and athletic performance.
Drawing on real-world case-studies of elite sport around the world, this book shows a conceptual framework for studying and analysing high performance sport and introduces the skills and techniques that managers and administrators will need to develop effective HPS programmes.
An account of the history and evacuation of the Portuguese merchant ship, Nossa Senhora dos Martires, sunk at the mouth of the Tagus River in 1606.
Athletes’ Careers Across Cultures is the first book of its kind to bring together a truly global spread of leading sports psychology career researchers and practitioners into one comprehensive resource. This extensive volume traces the evolution of athlete career research through a cultural lens and maps the complex topography of athletes’ careers across national boundaries exploring how social and cultural discourses shape their development. The area of athlete career development has traditionally been dominated by a Western perspective, an imbalance which has had a considerable influence on the shaping of career studies more generally. Stambulova and Ryba adopt a more culturally sensit...
Sport and Exercise Psychology Research: From Theory to Practice provides a comprehensive summary of new research in sport and exercise psychology from worldwide researchers. Encompassing theory, research, and applications, the book is split into several themed sections. Section 1 discusses basic antecedents to performance including fitness, practice, emotion, team dynamics, and more. Section 2 identifies factors influencing individual performance. Section 3 discusses applied sport psychology for athletes and coaches, and section 4 includes approaches from exercise psychology on motivation and well-being. The book includes a mix of award winning researchers from the European Sport Psychology Association, along with top researchers from the U.S. to bring an international overview to sport psychology. - Includes international contributions from Europe and the U.S. - Encompasses theory, research, and applications - Includes sport psychology and exercise research - Features applied information for use with coaches, teams, and elite athletes - Identifies performance enhancers and inhibitors
Ship Hydrostatics and Stability is a complete guide to understanding ship hydrostatics in ship design and ship performance, taking you from first principles through basic and applied theory to contemporary mathematical techniques for hydrostatic modeling and analysis. Real life examples of the practical application of hydrostatics are used to explain the theory and calculations using MATLAB and Excel. The new edition of this established resource takes in recent developments in naval architecture, such as parametric roll, the effects of non-linear motions on stability and the influence of ship lines, along with new international stability regulations. Extensive reference to computational tech...
