Summary

The Paraendurance takes place in the countryside along trails where the competitions are tested, judged and regulated by the FISE which is affiliated to the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) which, in turn, recognizes the FISE as the only representative of Equestrian Sports in Italy. The main goals for the riders who practice Paraendurance are: to facilitate socializing, to stimulate the awareness of one’s surroundings, to favour personal gratification, to get used to physical fatigue in order to train and better motion efficiency, to improve mingling and communicating with others through the care and attention given to one’s own horse. 
The therapeutic use of the horse in the rehabilitation of mental disorders basically implies that the relationship in itself becomes the functioning instrument. This relationship is largely based on becoming aware of the other being different from one’s own self which puts into motion the process of “taking care of” by acquiring a deep ethological knowledge that will allow a true and correct communication with the horse. The psychic effort involved in reasoning out someone’s else mind functioning takes the name of meta-cognition, but in dealing with psychotic or cognitive disorders this ability fails. 
On the other hand, the relationship with the horse, the level of being in tune with it and the ability to understand it represent the main focus in building a successful combined pair within a discipline such as the Endurance. It is at this point therefore, that the Paraendurance becomes a logical sport evolution for the rehabilitation treatment of many disorders and in particular the ones of psychic nature.

    'The cold water has given me the key to unlock myself within a place I didn't know existed: the community of cold water swimmers right around the world. What binds us all together is the cold and how it makes us feel: brave enough to tackle even the toughest of life's issues.'
    Having been a keen runner and cyclist all her life, in 2017 Sara Barnes was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis and found herself facing major surgery and a future of limited mobility. Rather than obsessing about what she could no longer do, she decided to focus on what she could do and took to the water of the tarns, river pools and lakes in her home county of Cumbria. A new appreciation of being in nature and love of cold water swimming and immersion was born.
    In The Cold Fix, Sara takes the reader on an enthralling journey, from her first tentative steps into the water, to meeting other swimmers from around the world who share her passion and who can help her answer the question: what is it about cold water that proves irresistible to an increasing number of people?

    A biography of the boxing legend reveals how strategies Ali used for his successful sports career may be applied to business or personal endeavors. 
     
     Muhammad Ali is the most famous boxer in the history of the sport. Three-time World Champion and the thorn in the side of Vietnam-era America, he became a moral beacon at a time when America was on its knees. 
     
    But, for all his pronouncements, Ali rarely revealed the psychological training that went into his preparations before the fights. For the first time, Kevin Mitchell, one of the pre-eminent boxing writers of his generation, will get behind the public persona to reveal the psychological advantage that Ali was able to take to the ring. Mitchell demonstrates how the mental preparation Ali put into winning the heavyweight title three times are essential skills that can be applied to any walk of professional life. 
     
    From the classic tactic of the rope-a-dope that Ali applied to the infamous “Rumble in the Jungle” against the favorite George Foreman, to the visualization techniques Ali applied to every fight—by having the Round number he was going to knock his opponent out in written on his taped hands—Mitchell reveals how Ali can teach something to us all and how his lessons can be applied to business and personal life equally.
