Fitness nuovo stile di vita. Consigli
by Lucas Graham Elena StellaPiù che mai la gente di tutto il pianeta si sta allenando ogni giorno di più. Questo potrebbe sembrare contraddittorio se si pensa che, secondo le statistiche, sono aumentati i casi di malattie cardiovascolari e diabete. Ma è proprio per questo che la gente sta adottando misure al rispetto, conoscendo gli effetti devastanti di una cattiva alimentazione e sedentarietà. La proliferazione di discipline sportive e la tendenza al fitness sono state motivate in gran parte dall’effetto globale delle reti sociali, che hanno reso virali gli effetti positivi dell’esercizio e del mangiare in modo appropriato. Fitness per tutti i gusti In base alla tua età, struttura, tempo e gusti potrai trovare una disciplina fitness adatta a te. Difatti, ce ne sono persino di personalizzate in base ai tuoi parametri nutrizionali e fisici. Dalla sposa che si sta preparando per entrare nel suo vestito a chi insegue, prima che arrivi l’estate, il “corpo da spiaggia” di cui sente la mancanza, uomini preoccupati per il loro aspetto e coppie che desiderano mantenersi in salute: tutti possono fare esercizio.
Fitness, Technology and Society: Amusing Ourselves to Life (Routledge Research in Sport, Culture and Society)
by Brad MillingtonThe fitness industry is experiencing a new boom characterized by the proliferation of interactive and customizable technology, from exercise-themed video games to smartphone apps to wearable fitness trackers. This new technology presents the possibility of boundless self-tracking, generating highly personalized data for self-assessment and for sharing among friends. While this may be beneficial – for example, in encouraging physical activity – the new fitness boom also raises important questions about the very nature of our relationship with technology. This is the first book to examine these questions through a critical scholarly lens. Addressing key themes such as consumer experience, gamification, and surveillance, Fitness, Technology and Society argues that fitness technologies – by ‘datafying’ the body and daily experience – are turning fitness into a constant pursuit. The book explores the origins of contemporary fitness technologies, considers their implications for consumers, producers, and for society in general, and reflects on what they suggest about the future of fitness experience. Casting new light on theories of technology and the body, this is fascinating reading for all those interested in physical cultural studies, technology, and the sociology of sport.

Fitte kinderen, sportieve tieners: over de invloed van bewegen en sport op de gezondheid van jongeren
by Han C.G. KemperWat is nu precies de invloed van bewegen en sport op de gezondheid en fitheid van jongeren? Dit boek geeft actuele, wetenschappelijke informatie over fysiologische aspecten van groei, ontwikkeling en rijping van jongeren. Daarmee biedt het inzicht in de effecten van lichaamsbeweging op hun gezondheid. Fysiologische en anatomische verschillen tussen opgroeiende jongeren, jongens en meisjes worden op een heldere wijze uitgelegd. Waarom bijvoorbeeld hebben verschillen in proporties van kinderen (met kortere armen, benen en groter hoofd) invloed op het lichamelijke prestatievermogen? Tegelijk wordt afgerekend met een aantal vooroordelen. Zo groeien pubers niet uit hun krachten en leveren fysiek vroegrijpe kinderen niet de grootste sporttalenten op.De auteur behandelt niet alleen alledaagse activiteiten als fietsen, wandelen en traplopen, maar ook het sporten op school en in de vrije tijd. Alle vormen van lichaamsbeweging worden uitvoerig en kritisch besproken. Hoe kun je het activiteitenpatroon van jongeren beïnvloeden? Zowel objectieve beweegmonitoren en hartslagentellers als hippe beweeggadgets worden op waarde geschat. Ook de ethische kanten van (top)sportbeoefening door kinderen en talent scouting bij jongeren worden voor het voetlicht gebracht. De auteur sluit af met een pleidooi voor een ¿beweegvriendelijke¿ woon- en leefomgeving met veilige voet- en fietspaden. Een integrale aanpak van de bewegingsarmoede bij jongeren kan de nadelige invloed van te weinig lichaamsbeweging op de gezondheid voorkomen.Fitte kinderen, sportieve tieners is bestemd voor iedereen die beroepsmatig geïnteresseerd is in het bewegen van jongeren. Daaronder vallen kinder-, school- en jeugdartsen, fysiologen, fysiotherapeuten, vakleerkrachten bewegen en sport en sporttrainers, maar ook psychologen, pedagogen en ouders of verzorgers.

Five Ancestor Fist Kung-Fu
by Alexander L. CoSimple, direct, and deadly - it's the art of ngo cho kun, or fists of the five ancestors. In its approach to iron body training, its reliance on the sam chien stance, and its special emphasis on hard and soft techniques, this Fukien style of kung-fu is believed to be the root of the Goju-ryu and Uechi-ryu Okinawan karate systems. During the declining years of the Ching dynasty, Sijo Chua Giok Beng combined the salient features of five styles from five masters into the formation of ngo cho kun, a distinct blend of both external and internal Chinese martial arts. Aside from being an effective form of self-defense, diligent practice of ngo cho kun can balance the body's metabolism, strengthen internal organs, and improve general well-being. Ngo cho kun is at once historically significant and practical for modern-day self-defense needs. Five Ancestor Fist Kung-Fu is a must for those who are interested in the historical connection between kung-fu and karate, or who wish to expand their self-defense repertoire.

Five-Plus Tools: The Past, Present, and Future of Baseball through the Eyes of a Scout
by Dave Perkin"Five-Plus Tools" is a scouting term that refers to a rare and elite type of amateur baseball prospect. A player with five-plus tools grades out well above average in all five skill areas, known as tools: hitting, power, running, throwing, and fielding.While most baseball fans critique players who are already on the professional level, a scout needs to find raw talent and figure out if they're the "future." In Five-Plus Tools, Dave Perkin, who was a professional scout and is currently the Major League Baseball Draft correspondent for Sports Illustrated, breaks down not only what all scouts are looking for, but also how amateur players are evaluated and recognized.Broken up into three sections, Perkin teaches the inner details of amateur scouting, using field reports on athletes he's scouted over the years. Once the understanding of what a scout looks for is understood, Perkin delves into the current major leaguers and gives scouting insight on their game, skills, and influence on the sport. Finally, the hot-button issues in baseball are covered, including such points as Sabermetrics, baseball analysis, and an explanation of why few of yesterday's heroes could succeed in modern baseball.
