Running - The Science and Art of...

Cooper Barton

Running is more than just putting one foot in front of the other at a faster pace. It is a complex interplay of biomechanics, physiology, psychology, and culture. It is a pursuit that spans continents and centuries, from the endurance hunters of our ancient ancestors to the elite athletes of today's ultramarathons. 
  
But running is not just a science—it is an art. It is an expression of the human spirit, a celebration of movement, and a connection to the world around us. It is a canvas upon which we paint our goals, our fears, and our triumphs. 
  
In this book, we will delve into the science behind running: the mechanics of stride, the physiology of endurance, and the psychology of performance. We will explore the latest research and practical insights to help you optimize your training, prevent injury, and achieve your running goals. 
  
But we will also celebrate the artistry of running: the beauty of a sunrise run, the camaraderie of a group workout, and the satisfaction of pushing past your limits. We will share stories of inspiration and perseverance, reminding you that running is not just about crossing the finish line, but about the journey along the way.

So What’s Your Play? - How...

Richard J. Muscio

Millions of people watched The Battle of the Sexes in 1973, but no one knew more about the historic tennis match than a 14 year-old boy. While the world s eyes were focused on Bobby Riggs, the self-proclaimed king of male chauvinist pigs, and Billie Jean King, the defender of feminism, Richard Muscio saw the match through the headlines of the day, headlines he had carefully clipped and saved as Bobby Riggs scrapbook maker. 
Only years later would Muscio realize that Bobby Riggs, the man who said that women should belong in the kitchen, actually made America a more tolerant society. A far cry from your grade school history book, So, What's Your Play? shows how life propelled Muscio to overcome blindness and birth inspired running events. Ultimately, showing how taking action, collaboration and leaving a legacy can change your own life and help build a better, more embracing world.

The Climbing Bible: Managing...

Stian Christophersen

The Climbing Bible: Climb Injury Free is the indispensable guide to injury prevention and rehabilitation for climbers. The author, Stian Christophersen, is an internationally renowned climber who has competed and coached at international level; he is also a practising physiotherapist with over 15 years' experience, specialising in the treatment of climbing injuries.
The third book in the bestselling Climbing Bible series, it describes the most common climbing injuries that the author frequently encounters in his clinical practice, and examines how they can be diagnosed and treated – and even prevented from occurring in the first place. It is designed to be scientifically strong, yet presented simply, so that it can make an important contribution to the knowledge base that healthcare professionals refer to when treating climbers, yet also be easily accessible to climbers who do not have a healthcare background.
The book is split into three parts and features anatomical illustrations along with exercise and action photos. The first part gives an essential overview of factors which can influence injuries and rehab, such as sleep, training load, warming up, differences related to age and gender, and strength training. Part two focuses on the common injuries experienced by climbers – including pulley injuries, elbow tendinopathies and hamstring ruptures, as well as growth plate injuries in young climbers – and advice about how to rehab or prevent these common injuries. And the third part explores the fascinating subject of pain science – what the sensation of pain really means, and how we interpret and can influence our experience of pain.
