How about you try realtraining?...

Martin Pfeifenberger

The playground of sport..

How does efficient, effective and sustainable training really work?
Especially in this day and age, when resilience and the immune system play a greater role than ever before, the contrasts on this topic could not be wider. There are countless "experts" who promise the moon. In no other area are there more of them - except perhaps in politics.

Are content and form out of balance?
Hopes, dreams and desires are processed for marketing purposes and spread like wildfire via social media channels.
Each training method is yet more effective and efficient than the previous one, while taking less time. Self-proclaimed "biohackers" and people who have reinvented physiology are making utopian promises.
It seems that human physiology has changed proportionally with the development of the internet, at least if you believe these promises.
Human physiology has evolved over millennia and will not change significantly in the next hundred years.
This book is not a training manual, it is intended to encourage reflection, questioning and scrutiny - whether in health sports, ambitious hobby sports or competitive sports.
What conditions should be created? What do the many terms buzzing around mean? How does it all really work?
These connections and backgrounds are explained both clearly and logically in this book - why one thing works and another can't work.
Understanding the "why" is one of the most important prerequisites for functional, effective and sustainable training.
Many achievements and medals are the product of a series of coincidences, which are not all that rare - which is why many training systems persist.

The knowledge about the application of biological measurement data for physical training has been around for almost half a century - only the knowledge about the correct application is still largely a mystery.

In 551 head-to-head races between 1960 and 1986, they finished one-two an astounding 63 times (Pearson won 33, Petty 30). Each showdown attracted more media attention and new fans, helping the sport to evolve evermore rapidly.Petty vs. Pearson is the only book to examine this storied relationship, beginning with their pre-Winston Cup careers.

Petty vs. Pearson examines that relationship, including their retirements in 1986 (Pearson) and 1992 (Petty) and their lives in NASCAR beyond the driver’s seat. Throughout the riveting text, Hembree draws on original interviews with both drivers (including interviews conducted with Petty in early 2024), those who witnessed the rivalry, and NASCAR figures who came later. The result is an entertaining and essential account of two storied drivers—and friends—who bridged NASCAR’s rollicking early years and the sophisticated entertainment concern it is today.Featuring a foreword by Terry Labonte, a legendary driver in his own right, Petty vs. Pearson is a must-have for every fan’s collection.

Tales of the Autistic Village...

Josh Williamson

Tales of the Autistic Village Cricketer is the neurologically ‘different’ slant of eye-opening, blunt and frankly, funny collection of completely true memoirs that have happened in my cricketing life. Starting from 2003, it initially outlines myself as a young cricketer, and how autism affected my participation; often with chuckle-inducing results! From the humorous stories involving our Margate junior skipper, Ollie Robinson of Sussex CCC fame, to abjectly refusing to remove my footwear as I entered the Horsham pavilion, and being jovially mocked due to my compelling urge of forcing a fart and sniffing the ball before bowling! But crucially, by publishing the story of my life through this cricketing lens, it gives a frank re-telling of how cricket, and the friends met solely through it, has given a socially difficult high-functioning autistic, the chance to experience life as it is intended. From the awkward opening partnership with Zak Crawley, to my first visit to a crowded nightclub and subsequently passing out, my ‘blunt and to the point’ discussion with a stripper, and the hilarious events that transpired when I lost my virginity!

Recovery and Health - Healing...

Zane Ryder

This book contains the following three titles:
- Fitness and Recovery: Fitness is not just about looking good; it’s about feeling strong, energetic, and healthy in all aspects of your life. The foundation of fitness begins with understanding what it truly means to be fit and how to set yourself up for long-term success. It is important to recognize that fitness is not a one-time achievement, but rather a continuous journey that requires dedication, balance, and conTo build a solid foundation, you must first understand the four main components of fitness: strength, cardiovascular health, flexibility, and body composition. Strength refers to your muscles’ ability to exert force. Cardiovascular health focuses on the efficiency of your heart and lungs. Flexibility ensures that your muscles and joints can move freely and safely. Lastly, body composition relates to the ratio of lean mass to fat in your body, which affects your overall health and performance.sistency.
- Fitness for Mental Health: Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet it is often overlooked when discussing overall well-being. As the world becomes more fast-paced and demanding, people are increasingly experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression. While therapy and medication are common approaches to managing mental health, an often overlooked yet highly effective method is exercise. Physical activity has been proven to be a powerful tool in improving mental health, relieving stress, and enhancing overall well-being.
- The Science of Muscle Growth: At its core, muscle growth occurs when muscle fibers undergo stress or damage, usually as a result of resistance training. This process, known as muscle fiber microtearing, stimulates the body to repair the damaged fibers by fusing them together, making the muscle thicker and stronger over time. This adaptation process is key to building muscle mass and strength.
