Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you are new to exercise or a competitive athlete, at some point in your training you will hit the dreaded plateau. After a period of progression, suddenly you hit a wall. Your weight loss stalls. Your performance stagnates. Your body and your mind are in a rut and you may be tempted to just give up. While everyone hits a plateau, our bodies are not the same. Generic training programs may work initially but inevitably your body will stop responding in the same way. You have your own unique body, and to identify your greatest opportunities for improvement, you will find lots of low-tech, high-effectiveness tests to help you identify which training methods to use. Chances are you've already tried some different training methods, but you might be frustrated because they haven't worked as well as you'd like. The truth is no matter what your level is, there will always be weaknesses, just because strengthening previous weaknesses and making them into strengths will open up other weaknesses. The encouraging thing about that is that you can always progress, and by using the diagnostic tests that are covered in the book, you'll know exactly where to look to make progress. But generic programs are not the answer to consistent and continual progress. This book covers tests for 10 different fitness qualities: Fat Loss Muscle Mass Strength Power Speed Muscular Endurance Aerobic Endurance Anaerobic Endurance Flexibility Coordination Filled with flowcharts and illustrative pictures you will understand and be able to easily apply the content to customize a program that works for you. Say good-bye to plateaus as you learn how to reach your ultimate potential. Whether you are a beginner starting a weight loss program, an athlete or a coach who must tailor training programs, this book will teach you to how to work with your body and your unique needs to design a program that will help you keep reaching your goals. This book is for you if: You want to know how to improve running speed You want to learn how to increase muscular strength You want to figure out how to run long distances and improve your cardio endurance You want to increase your vertical jump You want to lift heavier weights ...and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1980s, Robert Haas fueled a diet revolution with his number one bestseller Eat to Win. Now, with Eat to Win for Permanent Fat Loss, he shows you not only how to lose weight and dramatically improve your performance in all areas of life, but also how to keep the fat off--forever. Based on cutting-edge research on how and why our bodies use carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, Haas created a "Mediterrasian" diet that combines the best and healthiest aspects of diets from the regions where people live the longest. His approach features a ratio of 50 percent carbohydrates, which includes grains, fruits, and vegetables; 25 percent protein; and 25 percent fat. Haas also provides the specific reasons why this is the ultimate ratio for maximum energy, fitness, and permanent fat loss. Eat to Win for Permanent Fat Loss offers a remarkably flexible, healthy food plan that encourages both the use of the new "functional" foods, such as tofu hot dogs and soy-chicken nuggets, and treats that most diet plans forbid entirely, such as chocolate, wine, and coffee. In fact, Haas tells you why enjoying chocolate and coffee every day could actually make you healthier, providing both satisfaction and valuable phytonutrients that prevent illness. It's the kind of eating plan that works for the entire family. As for exercise, Haas's recommendation is just as simple: Burn a minimum of 300 calories--the equivalent of 45 minutes of walking--throughout the day, through any activity you choose. Haas’s combined diet and exercise program changes lives.

Book excerpt: From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Behind Every Lie and The Night Olivia Fell comes an unforgettable and heart-wrenching novel about the lengths one woman will go to save her son. Emma loves her life. She’s the mother of a precocious kindergartener, married to her soulmate—a loyal and loving police detective—and has a rewarding career as a doctor at the local hospital. But everything comes crashing down when her son, Josh, is diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Determined to save him, Emma makes the risky decision to sell opioids to fund the life-saving treatment he needs. But when somebody ends up dead, a lethal game of cat and mouse ensues, her own husband leading the chase. With her son’s life hanging in the balance, Emma is dragged into the dark world of drugs, lies, and murder. Will the truth catch up to her before she can save Josh? A timely and moving exploration of a town gripped by the opioid epidemic, and featuring Christina McDonald’s signature “complex, emotionally intense” (Publishers Weekly) prose, Do No Harm examines whether the ends ever justify the means...even for a desperate mother.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human beings are the 'all-rounders' of the natural world – while they aren't naturally the quickest, biggest or strongest creatures, they can achieve more amazing physical feats than any other animal. Nowhere is this ability more pronounced than in sporting performance, the ideal area for studying the mechanics of a human – our biomechanics. But all too often the study of sports biomechanics can become bogged down in pure mathematics, tables and graphs that bear little resemblance to what you see on the field of play. In this comprehensively revised third edition of bestselling Sports Biomechanics, Professor Anthony Blazevich answers real-world questions using easily accessible language and fully updated, clear and concise diagrams. Each chapter is devoted to a single area of the subject and details scientific underpinnings of sports performance; this edition features a new chapter on human gait (walking and running) as well as new information on the latest topics in sport biomechanics. An absolutely essential resource for any student, athlete or fitness professional involved in the field of sports biomechanics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For coaches, athletes and students of biomechanics, the new edition of Sports Biomechanics: The basics answers real-world questions in sports using easily comprehensible language and clear and concise diagrams. Each chapter is devoted to answering questions in a single area of sports biomechanics with the scientific underpinnings of sports performance clearly explained. Biomechanics is simply the science of 'mechanics', a particular section of physics, as it relates to the human body. In the sport sciences, biomechanists do just about everything, including improving aerodynamics of vehicles, improving swim stroke technique to maximise swimming propulsion, and optimising running technique to increase running speed or efficiency. Biomechanics is a core subject on all sports science courses, and undergraduates must complete this module in their first (and often second) year. Because of the use of maths and physics to explain biomechanical concepts, students often find it difficult to grasp the basic elements of biomechanics. Anthony Blazevich's book is designed to explain to students the key concepts of biomechanics, using clear examples, tying all theory to practical examples to help students relate the biomechanics principles to improving in their coaching and performing.
