Despite being one of the most popular sports worldwide, basketball has received limited research attention compared to other team sports. Establishing a strong evidence base with high-quality and impactful research is essential in enhancing decision-making processes to optimize player performance for basketball professionals. Consequently, the book entitled Improving Performance and Practice in Basketball provides a collection of novel research studies to increase the available evidence on various topics with strong translation to practice in basketball. The book includes work by 40 researchers from 16 institutions or professional organizations from 9 countries. In keeping with notable topic...
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...
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.
This is the first book exploring the concept of home advantage (HA), the well-known beneficial effect that players and teams derive from performing at home in all sports throughout the world. Despite the fact that the existence of HA dates back to the origins of organized sport in the late 19th century, its root causes and how they operate and interact with each other are still unclear and remain the topic of intense research involving many disciplines, all with the potential objective of improving team and individual performance. This book covers a broad review of HA divided into three different sections: (i) Section 1 focuses on the theory of HA in sport (the concept of this phenomenon, it...
GAY DARKROMANCE - ERSCHÜTTERND. PROVOKATIV. DRAMATISCH. Jeder Mensch vereint eine dunkle und eine helle Seite in sich. Das Leben eines jeden bestimmt, für welche Seite er sich entscheidet. Der Selfmade-Milliardär Anthony Monroe lebt seine dunkle Seite aus. In ihm schlummert aber durchaus etwas Gutes. Dennoch lässt er niemanden hinter seine Mauern schauen, die er schon sehr früh aus Selbstschutz errichtet hat. Nach einer Kindheit, in der er Misshandlung und Leid erleben musste, und eingeführt in eine Gesellschaft mit perfiden und verwerflichen Gepflogenheiten, war es nicht anders zu erwarten. Sein Leben beginnt sich zu verändern, als er den lebensfrohen Jackson Welsh kennenlernt. Der gewitzte, freche Charmeur zeigt ihm eine andere Art zu Leben. Mit seiner flapsigen und oft vorlauten Art und Weise erlangt er schnell das Interesse von Anthony, der eigentlich noch nie eine Vorliebe für das gleiche Geschlecht hatte. Und doch macht er Jax ein mehr oder weniger unmoralisches Angebot. Was hat es mit Anthonys dunkler Seite auf sich? Lässt Jackson sich von dem Milliardär in seine Finsternis ziehen? Bitte Triggerwarnung beachten!
