Content in this edition is organized by independent units (Metabolic, Cardiovascular-Respiratory, Neuromuscular-Skeletal, and Neuroendocrine-Immune), offering maximum teaching flexibility for faculty and ensuring a consistent, efficient, and effective learning experience for students. New Literature Search exercises reinforce the scientific basis of each discipline and boost students’ information literacy. Current research incorporated throughout the text keeps students up to date with emerging topics and the latest approaches to exercise physiology. Focus on Application and Focus on Research boxes strengthen students’ ability to recognize the impact of research on practice and apply basic concepts to relevant scenarios. Clinically Relevant boxes familiarize students with information, situations, or case studies they may encounter during internships or professional practice.  Check Your Comprehension boxes reinforce the ability to work through problems, interpret circumstances, analyze information, and deduce answers as you move through each chapter.  Example boxes enhance problem-solving and calculation skills. Definition boxes help students master key terminology. Summaries highlight essential chapter takeaways at a glance. Links to Online Resources help students make the most of their study time and ensure understanding.

"Fisiologia applicata allo sport", giunta ormai all'ottava edizione americana, ha raggiunto una notevole diffusione e si confe

Fully revised and updated for the second edition, with a new section on the older patient and expanded advice on physiotherapy and rehabilitation programmes, the Oxford Handbook of Sport and Exercise Medicine is an indispensable companion for any professional working in sport and exercise medicine. Sport medicine is an evolving discipline. This handbook brings together the common problems and diagnoses with a focused summary of the latest strategies, management plans, and evidence-based protocols. Authored by leading figures in sport and exercise medicine, this handbook is specially designed to cover the curriculum for postgraduate sport and exercise medicine exams. It presents the core knowledge in a concentrated and concise format. Arranged by system, it focuses on the needs of the patient and offers an immediate guide to all aspects of diagnosis and treatment, exercise benefits, and epidemiology. Practical, accessible, and clinically based, this is the single global handbook for the undergraduate, postgraduate or experienced specialist.

This First Edition, based on the National Academy of Sports Medicine(TM) (NASM) proprietary Optimum Performance Training (OPT(TM)) model, teaches future sports performance coaches and other trainers how to strategically design strength and conditioning programs to train athletes safely and effectively. Readers will learn NASM's systematic approach to program design with sports performance program guidelines and variables; protocols for building stabilization, strength, and power programs; innovative approaches to speed, agility and quickness drills, and more! This is the main study tool for NASM's Performance Enhancement Specialist (PES).

This book provides an in-depth explanation of coaching science using both theoretical and practical models for training, across a wide range of sporting disciplines. It uniquely encompasses the increasing number of available research and review publications, supported by practical examples. The editorial and author team include Olympic and World Championship medalists from a variety of sports, enabling them to offer a unique perspective on the presentation of coaching science.

L'idea di scrivere questo manuale è venuta agli autori a seguito della recente apertura di corsi di laurea o facoltà universitarie in Scienze Motorie. In genere, i libri di biochimica a disposizione degli studenti trattano la biochimica generale, a volte la biochimica degli organi, ma raramente si occupano di esaminare quello che succede in seguito all'attività fisica e all'allenamento. La sempre maggior diffusione dell'attività sportiva richiede l'aiuto della scienza per l'elaborazione di schemi di allenamento, di comportamenti alimentari, ecc. D'altro canto, un approccio scientifico ai problemi potrebbe ridurre l'approccio "magico" all'attività sportiva, spesso osservabile e che, oltretutto, può essere pericoloso per l'atleta che lo segue.

This new educational and clinical reference provides a comprehensive discussion of general medical conditions and associated pathologies confronting athletes, coaches, and athletic trainers of all levels. Featuring NATA Educational Competencies, it covers evaluation techniques and equipment, pharmacological principles, complete coverage of all body systems and conditions, and special populations. Red flags for serious or life-threatening conditions are highlighted throughout, as well as implications for practice and participation in sports and competition. An accompanying DVD provides 230 minutes of video displaying narrated procedures, animations of important concepts, and self-assessment exercises designed to reinforce the skills and information presented in each chapter of the book.

Edizione italiana della principale e più aggiornata opera dedicata alla fisiologia dello sport e dell'esercizio fisico. Willmore e Costill, scienziati americani, dimostrano anche grandi qualità di divulgatori esponendo in questo trattato un'aggiornata teoria sulla fisiologia dello sport e dell'esercizio fisico. 7 grandi sezioni in 21 capitoli per spaziare dal controllo muscolare del movimento ai concetti base dell'attività fisica per la salute attraverso lo studio dei meccanismi energetici, funzioni cardio-respiratorie, performance ed ottimizzazione della prestazione sportiva. Termini chiave, quesiti di verifica, bibliografie e letture consigliate completano questo manuale e lo rendono utile per la specializzazione universitaria.

The book collates the relationships between exercise and the environment in a single volume. The human interacts with environmental factors in complex ways. The aim of this text is to provide a comprehensive coverage of the environmental influences that impact on the individual when exercising or competing in sport. The main environmental factors are considered in turn, the physiological reactions to discrete environmental stresses are described and methods of adaptation or coping are explained.

The second edition of this broadly based book continues to examine and update the basic and applied aspects of strength and power in sport from the neurophysiology of the basic motor unit to training for specific activities. Authorship is, again, international and includes leading physiologists and clinicians.

Brukner and Khan's Clinical Sports Medicine is the bible of sports medicine. The text explores all aspects of diagnosis and management of sports-related injuries and physical activity such as the fundamental principles of sports medicine, diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries, enhancement of sports performance and dealing with special groups of participants. Each chapter has been comprehensively reviewed and updated and there are 12 new chapters which cover topics such as military medicine, prevention of sudden cardiac death and the integration of evidence into clinical practice. The contributing authors are renowned experts in their field and are based all around the world. The fourth edition is enhanced by a new companion website featuring Clinical Sports Medicine Masterclasses Online. Readers will gain access to this secure site via a pincode included with the book. The site will include video clips of clinical examinations, interviews with leading experts and will be updated regularly.
