Knots in Orthopedic Surgery: Open And Arthroscopic Techniques
by Mustafa Karahan João Espregueira-Mendes Umut Akgun Pietro S. RandelliThis well-illustrated book presents the state of the art in suture materials and provides clear, step-by-step guidance on how to tie the most frequently used knots. The opening section addresses terminological issues and describes how the biological and mechanical properties of suture materials may impact on healing potential. The basics of knot biomechanics are explained, highlighting the risk of failure of knots and sutures if their capacities are exceeded. Subsequent sections give precise instructions on the tying techniques for the various open and arthroscopic knots, including the square knot, the surgeon’s knot, half hitches, and sliding and non-sliding knots. The special instruments available to facilitate the tying of arthroscopic knots are thoroughly discussed, equipping the surgeon with the knowledge required to ensure optimal handling of the soft tissues and manipulation of sutures in arthroscopic surgery. A literature review on suture materials and arthroscopic knots completes the coverage. This book is published in cooperation with ESSKA. It will be a valuable instruction manual for surgeons in training and will supply more experienced surgeons with an excellent update that will further enhance their practice.

Game Changers: How a Team of Underdogs and Scientists Discovered What it Takes to Win
by João MedeirosAt the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Great Britain ranked thirty-sixth in the medals table, finishing below countries like Algeria, Belgium and Kazakhstan. It was their worst ever record, a dismal performance labelled a national disgrace. But then something happened. In Sydney in 2000 and then Athens in 2004, Team GB achieved a much more respectable tenth place. By 2016, in Rio, they finished second, above China and Russia, with sixty-seven medals. How have they so convincingly reversed their fortunes?In Game Changers we meet the coaches and sports scientists who rethink how sport is analysed and understood, how athletes train and perform under pressure. In Liverpool in the 1980s, a motley group - a mathematician, a physiologist, a psychologist and a former Olympic basketball player - began to pioneer new ways of tracking performance. Over the decades that followed, performance analysis came of age, becoming an essential component of any elite team, from English Premier League title winners Manchester City to America's Cup high-performance sailing teams. Using a hybrid of scientific method and trial-and-error, scientists have uncovered the tenets of accelerated learning, the mechanics of physiological adaptation, the organisational principles behind elite teams, the understanding of how hormones and environment affect performance. These discoveries are not confined to athletic endeavours - they are universal and reveal what it takes to win not only in sports, but are applicable across a wide range of disciplines, including business, leadership and education.

A Viagem de Recrutamento
by Lexy Timms João Rossi ParreirasA pretendente a atleta universitária Aileen Nessa acredita que o processo de recrutamento está sendo mais do que intimidante. Como a top 10 mundial nos 100 metros com barreiras aos 18 anos não foi por acaso, mesmo achando que uma corrida onde tudo se encaixa perfeitamente, pode sim sê-lo. As universidades americanas parecem não acreditar nisso. As cartas chegam de todo o país. Enquanto ela enfrenta o desafio de diferenciar entre o genuíno comprometimento para com ela e promessas vazias de treinadores caçadores de talento, Aileen parte rumo à Universidade Estadual de Gática, uma instituição da Divisão Um, para uma viagem de recrutamento. Sua melhor amiga a desafia para ir somente para ver os bonitos rapazes que aparecem no panfleto da universidade. O programa atlético da universidade possui um dos melhores corredores com barreiras do país. Tyler Jensen é o campeão da NCAA* em barreiras e Jim Thorpe o reconhecido top defensive back do futebol americano. Seus incríveis olhos azuis como o oceano e seu sorriso confiante fazem Aileen gaguejar e esquecer porque ela está visitando a UEG. Seu convite de acolhê-la caso ela decida estudar em Gática é uma proposta tentadora que a faz se perguntar se ela está fazendo um pacto com um anjo ou com o próprio diabo. *Associação Atlética de Faculdades Nacional.

Será que puxar tudo ao limite preencherá o vazio que ela tenta tão deseperadamente precisa ou tudo virá abaixo antes dela chegar à primeira barreira?
Perceived Exertion Laboratory Manual
by Michael Gallagher Jr. Luke Haile Robert J. Robertson This manual provides laboratory-based learning experiences in perceptually and psychosocially linked exercise assessment, prescription, and programming. The primary pedagogic outcome is the ability to use applied theory and practice in perceptual and psychosocial exercise assessment and program design to promote the adoption and maintenance of a physically active lifestyle, enhancing overall health fitness. Perceptual and psychosocial variables are presented in individual, stand-alone laboratory modules that can supplement existing curricula such as exercise and sport psychology, exercise physiology, exercise testing and prescription, and exercise training and conditioning. In addition, the complete modular set has a conceptual flow that allows its presentation as an entire, laboratory-based course. The laboratory modules are divided into three primary units: assessment (theoretical constructs, scales and procedures, tests), prescription (self-regulation, performance), and program evaluation. The manual uses a unique format in which case studies are embedded in the conceptual flow of each lab module facilitating translation of laboratory results to real-world application. The manual concludes with a discussion of perceptually and psychosocially linked exercise prescription and programming applications in public health, such as program monitoring and adherence.

Boquita
by Martín Caparrós Juan CaparrósLa historia del legendario equipo Boca Juniors vuelve a las librerías de la mano de Debate, en una edición revisada a cuatro manos por Juan y Martín Caparrós sobre el fenómeno deportivo capaz de unir a millones de personas en un sentimiento azul y amarillo. Este libro ya clásico sobre la pasión reconstruye -en una edición actualizada- la historia que iniciaron, el 3 de abril de 1905, cinco hijos de italianos del barrio de la Boca. Para eso recorre los mejores momentos de Boca Juniors en este siglo largo y trata de entender qué significa ser hincha, o mejor: ser hincha del Boca. Ser uno más de «la mitad más uno». A partir de pequeñas y grandes historias y de la palabra de futbolistas, utileros, dirigentes, intermediarios, técnicos, periodistas, académicos y barrabravas, Boquita analiza con lucidez los orígenes de una tradición, los efectos que produjo la irrupción de la plata en el ritual futbolero, la llegada de la televisión, las competencias internacionales, el antes y después que marcó Maradona, la irrupción de un empresario que quería ser presidente, los cambios en el juego, la gramática de los cantitos, tantas victorias, alguna derrota: la historia y el presente de la ilusión más resistente de los argentinos. Sobre el autor:«Caparrós es una manera de ver y entender el mundo».Carles Geli, Babelia «Caparrós es un escritor superdotado, seductor, con un talento natural para mantener el equilibro narrativo».Nadal Suau, El Cultural «El mejor cronista actual de América Latina: un soberbio entrevistador, un viajero dotado de cultura enciclopédica y de una fina ironía».Roberto Herrscher, La Vanguardia

The Bicycle Effect: Cycling as Meditation
by Juan Carlos KreimerThe bicycle is not just a vehicle used to transport ourselves, to exercise one's body or to obtain joy. It's a device which allows us to attain a much wealthier mental state than one would think possible. Once we ride it, it's possible to experience a feeling close to that achieved by meditation. The movements of the legs, the energy which arises through the body, the cadence of our breathing and the floating attention on what's happening around us and in our mind all create a similar state to the one we achieve when we sit crossed-legged, with our eyes closed, allowing our thoughts to drift simply and naturally. Zen calls it mindfulness.
La fe de ayer: Amor, fútbol y revolución
by Juan Carlos Ortecho FernándezUna historia de fútbol, amor y revolución Juan Carlos Ortecho explora en La fe de ayer la edad dorada del fútbol peruano, así como el «lado B» de los estertores finales de la dictadura militar, la transición hacia la democracia y el preámbulo del descalabro y el terror de los años ochenta en el país. Narrada desde una entrañable mirada infantil, esta novela aborda la construcción de los primeros afectos y el descubrimiento de los desencantos amorosos. Asimismo, el poder articulador que tiene el fútbol y los cambios acelerados que experimentaron la capital y una sociedad que entonces parecían condenadas a caer de manera irremisible por el despeñadero de la violencia y el pesimismo. Entre apagones, carencias y un clima de creciente desintegración social y política, pero también entre jornadas deportivas memorables —de la selección nacional y el club Universitario de Deportes—, películas, programas de televisión y canciones que dejaron una huella en el imaginario nacional, y apasionantes recorridos por calles, plazas y bodegas de una Lima que ya no existe, Ortecho nos invita a ingresar al túnel del tiempo para transitar la cartografía de sus recuerdos. Allí donde confluyen los triunfos y desengaños que marcan el devenir tanto del fútbol como de la vida afectiva y familiar de toda una generación.

¡Calcio!
by Juan Esteban Constain"Constaín no ha escrito (solamente) una novela sobre fútbol. La suya es una novela erudita sin ser solemne, brutalmente divertida pero nunca chabacana". Juan Gabriel Vásquez El profesor Arnaldo Momigliano asiste en Oxford al legendario "zoológico", un exclusivo conciliábulo en el que los más respetados eruditos en el mundo clásico hacían una pausa en sus serísimas faenas para desmelenarse y divertirse en un campeonato de improvisaciones. Su tema parecía ser inocente: los juegos de pelota de la antigüedad. Pero en su intervención sugiere, nada menos que rodeado de pundonorosos británicos, que el fútbol no nació en Inglaterra sino en Italia. El divertimento académico deriva en un asunto de honor nacional, y para dirimirlo Momigliano desempolva un documento que da cuenta del primer partido de fútbol de la historia, un zafarrancho épico en la Florencia renacentista entre los soldados invasores del emperador Carlos V y los sitiados soldados leales al papa Clemente VII. Literatura Random House recupera, diez años después de su publicación, la segunda novela de Juan Esteban Constaín, una obra "extraña, original", como la saludó Arturo Pérez-Reverte cuando la conoció admirado, y también lúdica, inteligente, gratísima de leer.

Santa Maradona (Flash Ensayo)
by Juan José SebreliUn intenso repaso a la vida pública y privada de uno de los grandes iconos del siglo XX. Maradona ha sido, es y será, una figura que trasciende los límites del deporte para convertirse en un mito y una leyenda para el pueblo. A pesar de sus excesos, la figura del 10 se ha colocado en el altar de las grandes celebridades, para algunos incluso a la altura de Miguel Ángel, Gaudí o Jesucristo. En este apasionante ensayo conoceremos al deportista, al drogodependiente, al amigo de dictadores y narcotraficantes, a la figura pública que se enfrentó a políticos, periodistas e incluso al mismo Papa, al revolucionario de izquierdas que conducía Ferraris, y al rey de la noche que promovía campañas antidroga. Pocas veces una persona ha sido tanto para tantos.
The Inner Structure of Tai Chi: Mastering the Classic Forms of Tai Chi Chi Kung
by Mantak Chia Juan LiExplores the deep, internal work necessary for the effective practice of tai chi• Reveals the Taoist principles that gave birth to the Yang-style tai chi forms• Shows how tai chi can circulate powerful healing energies through the bodyTaoist adepts developed tai chi as both a martial art and a way to cultivate their physical body, energy body, and spirit body. Like all Taoist exercises, its main purpose is to form a connection to the basic energy that is the foundation of all life: chi. Until the beginning of the twentieth century, tai chi was considered a secret practice that was passed down only within a closely knit structure of family and loyal disciples. Despite its widespread growth in popularity as a martial art and health exercise, many of its underlying internal practices remain unknown.The Inner Structure of Tai Chi explores the deep, internal work necessary for the effective practice of tai chi. Designed for practitioners at every level, the book contains step-by-step illustrated instructions for mastering the 13 forms of early Yang-style tai chi, also known as Tai Chi Chi Kung. The authors demonstrate the relationship of the inner structure of tai chi to the absorption, transformation, and circulation of the three forces that animate all life--the Universal force, the Cosmic force, and the Earth force--revealing the principles and practices necessary to receive the full spectrum of physical, psychological, and spiritual benefits that tai chi can bring.
Accessibility in Sport Management: International Venue Perspectives (European Association for Sport Management Series)
by Tracey J. Dickson Simon Darcy Paul J. Kitchin Juan Luis Paramio-SalcinesThis book introduces the fundamental principles of accessible and inclusive sport venue management, with a focus on people with disability. It offers a social‑ecological analysis of how governments, businesses, the disability social movement, sports organisations, and their stakeholders can, and should, make sport more accessible and inclusive.Using a critical disability studies perspective, this book highlights recent global human rights initiatives, challenges, and ongoing resistance to the drive for accessibility in sport venue management. Drawing on the latest research, it takes a step‑by‑step look at the sporting experience – including pre‑experience planning, travel to and from an event, the built environment, the experience itself, and online participation – and considers how each phase might be made more accessible and inclusive, and how commercial and social justice considerations intersect.Addressing the needs of participants, consumers, employees, volunteers, and organisations, this book is essential reading for any student, researcher, practitioner, or policymaker with an interest in sport management, disability sport, event management, corporate social responsibility, disability studies, or human rights.
