Product Description
When human muscle fatigues, athletic performance becomes impaired. For those individuals suffering muscle or metabolic diseases the effects of muscle fatigue can make everyday tasks difficult. Understanding the scientific processes responsible for skeletal muscle fatigue is therefore central to the study of the physiology of sport, exercise and health.
Written by a team of leading international exercise scientists, this book explores the mechanisms of muscle fatigue and presents a comprehensive survey of current research on this important topic. Examining the wide variety of protocols, assessment methods and exercise models used to study muscle fatigue, the book explores the differential effects of fatigue as influenced by:
- age
- gender
- fitness and training
- the use of ergogenic aids
- medical conditions including cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and glycogenosis
Human Muscle Fatigue covers both clinical and applied approaches in sport and exercise physiology and devotes an entire section to the conceptual framework underpinning research in this area, helping readers from a wide range of backgrounds to engage with the topic. Accessible and detailed, this book is a key text for students and practitioners working in exercise and sports science, medicine, physical therapy and health.

Muscles and Meridians is a unique book that breaks new conceptual ground in the realm of human movement. Exploring the connection between evolutionary biology and Chinese meridians, the volume offers a novel and effective system of diagnosis and treatment of common musculoskeletal disorders.
- Describes a new model of human movement – the Contractile Field model
- Offers a rare and serious attempt to look at whole person movement patterns – akin to ‘Anatomy Trains’ but with a stronger link to vertebrate evolution and development
- Suggests that much of our endemic back and leg pain is due to a loss of ease in postures that are ‘archetypal’ to mankind
- Offers a profound new understanding of the world’s oldest medical map, the Chinese meridian map
Product Description
Facial nerve surgery inevitably leads to partial pareses, abnormally associated movements and pathologically altered reflexes. The reason for this “post-paralytic syndrome” is the misdirected reinnervation of targets, which consists of two major components. First, due to malfunctioning axonal guidance, a muscle gets reinnervated by a “foreign” axon, that has been misrouted along a “wrong” fascicle. Second, the supernumerary collateral branches emerging from all transected axons simultaneously innervate antagonistic muscles and cause severe impairment of their coordinated activity. Since it is hardly possible to influence the first major component and improve the guidance of several thousands axons, the authors concentrated on the second major component and tried to reduce the collateral axonal branching.

In business, sports and life, it takes more than knowledge and good technique to achieve great performances with consistency. The challenges you need to win aren’t always terrific plays, perfect golf shots, record sales or great new ideas. Instead, in any arena in life, it is command of the emotional challenges that separates winners from wannabes, contenders from pretenders.
Contenders who achieve consistently outstanding results all demonstrate key characteristics and practice specific winning techniques that you can learn. The inconsistent performance of pretenders in business, sports and life can be traced to common missteps that you can avoid.
If you are a leader who wants to lead more effectively, a worker who wants to achieve more, an athlete who wants to win more, or you want better performance in all areas of your life, you need this book.
Filled with practical and innovative high-performance tools like the Emotional Spiral, the Emotional Inventory and the Emotional Caddie, You are a Contender! Build Emotional Muscle to Perform Better and Achieve More in Business, Sports and Life will teach you how to make the move from sometimes-star to consistent performer. It will show you how to train your emotional muscles to handle any experience and challenge with strength and confidence.

The breakthrough new fitness program for readers who want big gains in little time
“I had one little miniworkout. I couldn’t believe how short the workout was, and how good I felt afterward. . . . This technique is going to change your life.” –Tony Robbins, author of Awaken the Giant Within
Bodybuilding pioneer John Little smashes through conventional training approaches with his revolutionary workout program supported by science and based on 15 years of empirical research. The Max Contraction Training program maximizes muscle fiber stimulation in the shortest amount of time– leading to faster workouts and more impressive gains. Little reveals:
- Groundbreaking techniques that MAXimize muscle fiber stimulation four times more efficient than conventional training
- Ideal exercise structuring in a workout routine
- Optimal time frames to train muscles for maximum growth
- False information put out by supplement companies
