Sinopsis

"Trailblazing Women in Sports" presents a comprehensive exploration of female athletes who shattered barriers and redefined competitive athletics from the early 1900s to today. The book masterfully weaves together three crucial narratives: the systematic obstacles women faced in sports, their fierce battles for equality, and their groundbreaking achievements across various athletic disciplines.

 
Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, readers witness how figures like Gertrude Ederle, who conquered the English Channel in 1926, set the stage for generations of female athletes to follow. The narrative progresses chronologically, beginning with women's historical exclusion from organized sports and moving through pivotal moments like the implementation of Title IX in 1972.

 
Drawing from extensive historical records, personal interviews, and sports federation archives, the book illuminates how these pioneers transformed not just their respective sports but society at large. The inclusion of statistical data and first-hand accounts provides readers with both quantitative evidence of progress and intimate insights into the personal struggles these athletes endured.

 
What sets this work apart is its ability to connect sports history with broader social movements, demonstrating how athletic achievements catalyzed advances in women's rights, civil rights, and gender equality. The book concludes by examining contemporary challenges, including the ongoing fight for wage equality and media representation, while offering practical lessons in leadership and advocacy that readers can apply to their own lives.

 
This thoughtful blend of historical documentation and personal narrative makes it an invaluable resource for both sports enthusiasts and students of social change.

    What if everything you know about pain is wrong? 
     
    For starters, pain is not synonymous with being “injured.” It’s also not evidence that your biomechanics are “flawed” or your body is “imbalanced.” And most important, pain doesn’t always mean you have to see a doctor. 
     
    In Pain & Performance, Ryan Whited and Matt Fitzgerald present a radically new way for athletes to understand and manage pain that exposes the shocking lack of evidence for modern medicine’s approach to pain and injury management. Based on many years of research and a greater appreciation of the complexity of pain as a lived experience, Whited’s revolutionary “Training as Treatment” method puts you in control of your pain experience as you build mental and physical resilience.  
     
    Learning this simple, three-step process will start you on a path to better performance and a more fulfilling athletic journey with less downtime, fewer visits to clinicians, less anxiety about pain and injury, and less time and money wasted on treatments that don’t work. 
     
    An elite boulderer and son of a chronically injured professional horse jockey, Whited brings a pragmatic approach to a complex process. As a trainer, he has spent decades guiding athletes from breakdowns to breakthroughs at Paragon Athletics, a magnet for pain-affected runners, climbers, and recreational athletes who’ve grown frustrated with the medical system. Pain & Performance makes Whited’s unparalleled knowledge of pain science and physiology available to anyone seeking to stay out of the doctor’s office and on track toward their goals. 
     
    "Training as Treatment is a fresh and innovative approach to understanding and working with pain rather than against it. By helping athletes face fear and reframe pain, Ryan Whited facilitates a shift in mindset that fosters a healthy, lifelong relationship to sport and performance.”—Rob Krar, coach and ultrarunning champion 
     
    This audiobook contains a supplemental PDF with a Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire and a link to video demonstrations of exercises to get started on a Training as Treatment plan.

    To take Arne Haase as a role model: Germany's oldest marathon runner is still doing 20 kilometers twice a week at the age of 90. And it doesn't have to be that sporty. But wouldn't the Haase model be a nice vision of you in your old days, being "trapped" in the body of a 45-year-old?For millions of people, regular exercise is part of their lives. But almost all of us run the wrong way. To stay mobile from now until old age, we can make up our minds for a fundamental change. E.g. we mostly, unconsciously run as if we were training for a competition. From the age of 40, our strength and joints start to deteriorate.So what can we change in order to enjoy it forever? Change our running attitude, running mindfully, reduce our biological age: Food for thought from philosophy, psychology and coaching leads to a lifestyle that keeps you strong and healthy forever. One reading session and you're off and running!"Living in the long Run" is neither a motivational guide nor a training companion: just read it, put it down and start a new life! The inspiring narrative running coach invites you to take things radically slowly, but to take the first small step towards almost infinity. Because endurance matters.Running properly starts in your mind!In order to still be strong at the age of 90, author Dr. Patrick Krause tears down the performance patterns from our sporting past as well as our modern society; running (or any other fitness sport) should ultimately glide into the flow beyond all logic of increase - our bones will be grateful!How does that kind of "stress-reduced running" work? More like a meditation to go with the flow - and that's also how the book is written. Because running properly starts in your mind! This means eliminating opponents such as some fellow runners and potential tempo tyrans like watches and apps, which focus on competition and the logic of improvement. It's about consciously taking every mental and athletic step.

    Endurance is the ability to sustain physical activity for an extended period without succumbing to fatigue. In sports, endurance is a critical factor for success, especially in disciplines that require prolonged exertion, such as long-distance running, cycling, swimming, and rowing. While many athletes focus on speed and strength, endurance plays a fundamental role in determining overall performance and efficiency. 
    There are two primary types of endurance: aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic endurance refers to the ability of the cardiovascular system to supply oxygen to muscles over an extended period. This is vital for sports where sustained, moderate-intensity efforts are required. Activities such as marathons or triathlons demand superior aerobic capacity. On the other hand, anaerobic endurance is associated with high-intensity efforts that are of shorter duration, relying on energy systems that do not require oxygen. This type of endurance is essential for sports that involve bursts of intense effort, such as sprinting or weightlifting. 
    The role of genetics in endurance is often debated, as it plays a significant part in an athlete’s ability to develop stamina. Studies have shown that some individuals are naturally predisposed to better endurance due to factors such as muscle fiber composition and cardiovascular efficiency. These genetic traits may give some athletes an advantage, but training and lifestyle choices remain pivotal in enhancing endurance.

    On Thursday, August 28, 1947, a 30-year-old millionaire named Manuel Laureano Rodriguez—Manolete—and a Miura bull named Islero killed each other. The Death of Manolete recounts the extraordinary life and demise of this young bullfighter, from the childhood that made the Spanish boy and the sacrifice that made the man to the girl who brought him love and the acclaim that brought him incredible success. A symbol of Latin pride, valor, and chivalry, Manolete fired the Latin imagination as no one had done since El Cid. But the crowds owned him, and on one fateful afternoon in the town of Linares, he did their bidding—and an untimely death put out the brightest flame in Spain.
