The book contains the proceedings of the Fourth International Congress on Science and Skiing, which was held at St. Christoph am Arlberg, Tyrol, Austria. The conference was organized and hosted by the Department of Sport Science at the University of Salzburg, Austria, and by the Christian Doppler Laboratory "Biomechanics in Skiing", Salzburg, Austria. It was also part of the programs of the steering group "Science in Skiing" of the World Commission of Sports Science and contains a broad spectrum of current research work in alpine and nordic skiing and in snowboarding. In the proceedings of this congress, the keynotes and invited lectures as well as the oral presentations are published. The manuscripts were subject to peer review and editorial judgement prior to acceptance.

The book contains the proceedings of the Seventh International Congress on Science and Skiing, which was held at St. Christoph am Arlberg, Tyrol, Austria, in December 2016. The conference was organized and hosted by the Department of Sport Science at the University of Salzburg, Austria. This book offers a broad interdisciplinary spectrum of current high quality research in Alpine and Nordic skiing and in snowboarding. Four keynote speakers and ninety-seven oral presenters have been invited to submit a paper for this volume. The entire scope of relevant topics in skiing is covered by these presentations. In order to maintain a high scientific standard required of this book, a peer review process was utilized in the selection of the papers. In the proceedings of this congress, the keynotes as well as the oral presentations are published. The manuscripts were subject to peer review and editorial judgment prior to acceptance.
Get the Summary of Matt Fitzgerald's 80/20 Running in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. "80/20 Running" by Matt Fitzgerald introduces a training philosophy where 80% of running is at low intensity and 20% at moderate to high intensity. This approach, supported by historical evidence and scientific research, suggests that most runners overtrain at moderate intensity, which is less effective for improving performance. Fitzgerald explains that runners often suffer from "intensity blindness," not realizing they are exerting more effort than necessary...
The book contains recent research about physiology, psychology, nutrition and training aspects of Marathon Running of different age, gender and performance level. The basic knowledge of marathon running with explanations of the physiological and psychological mechanisms induced by marathon training with the associated adaptations and subsequent improved physiological capacities are presented in a reader friendly format for researchers and practitioners. The book includes a full range of useful practical knowledge, as well as trainings principles to guide the reader to run marathon faster. After reading the book the reader is able to develop training plans and owns the knowledge about up-to-date scientific results in the fields of physiology, psychology, nutrition in marathon running.
This book provides an overview of current activities in the fascinating area between computer science and sports, presenting the state of the art in utilising the latest developments in computer science to support sports coaches and athletes. It covers a broad range of topics reflecting the diversity of this interdisciplinary field, including concepts in informatics like expert systems, modelling, simulation, machine learning, robotics, and sensor integration. Further, it describes applications of computer science in sports, such as alpine skiing, badminton, football, rowing, and table tennis, as well as interesting applications areas of sport like dementia, physiology, training, and space flights. The appeals to informaticians interested in the application field of sports as well as for sports scientists and practitioners looking for advanced methods in their particular sport.
The Routledge Handbook of Biomechanics and Human Movement Science is a landmark work of reference. Now available in a concise paperback edition, it offers a comprehensive and in-depth survey of current theory, research and practice in sports, exercise and clinical biomechanics, in both established and emerging contexts. Including contributions from many of the world's leading biomechanists, the book is arranged into five thematic sections: biomechanics in sports injury, orthopedics and rehabilitation health and rehabilitation training, learning and coaching methodologies and systems of measurement. Drawing explicit connections between the theoretical, investigative and applied components of sports science research, this book is both a definitive subject guide and an important contribution to the contemporary research agenda in biomechanics and human movement science. It is essential reading for all students, scholars and researchers working in sports biomechanics, kinesiology, ergonomics, sports engineering, orthopaedics and physical therapy.
