What we eat has a huge impact on our physical and mental health,
and on our performance in our chosen sport, whether we're
elite-level athletes or enthusiastic amateurs. But, with so much
information out there, how do we choose a way of eating that is
right for us? More Fuel You is a clear and authoritative guide to
making the most of your nutrition. Leading sports dietitian Renee
McGregor looks at fuelling needs for sporting participation,
training and competition, and analyses some popular diet options,
including low-carbohydrate, vegan and intermittent fasting. But
this is not just another sports nutrition book. Renee recommends a
holistic view: by understanding the human body and being
self-aware, you can find the ideal nutritional approach for you
personally. Significantly, Renee also discusses areas of sports
nutrition in populations that are often overlooked, including
women's health and the menopause, healthy ageing, and the inclusion
of individuals who don't necessarily conform to the stereotype of
an athlete, such as people living with chronic health conditions.
Whatever your race, genetics, gender, age, socio-economic status,
body type or ability, it's important to be your own athlete, fuel
appropriately for your body and enjoy what you do. Whether you're a
world-class or real-world athlete, if you're serious about sport
and nutrition, you can't afford not to read this book.
This booklet is for those suffering from exertion or 'stress'
incontinence. It describes a new approach based on a planned series
of exercises aimed at restoring the bladder. The anatomical causes
of this type of incontinence are clearly explained and illustrated.
There is no substitute for the self-discipline of exercises, but
the book also deals with two other important points: correct
breathing and balanced diet which will not lead to constipation or
to being overweight. There is also a section on preparations for
counteracting the incontinence that may result from pelvic surgery.
Doctors and physiotherapists will be able to recommend this booklet
to their patients.

Lifelong Motor Development, Sixth Edition, is a comprehensive,
science-based text covering background, theory, and research in the
field of physical growth and motor behavior across the life span,
as well as the practical application of these concepts. The Sixth
Edition focuses on the concept that the study of motor development
is the study of change. In order to truly understand the
multicausal and complex nature of motor development, this book was
created and continues with the goal of introducing students to not
a single theoretical explanation, but the most prominent theories
and views that underscore our understanding of change in motor
development. This approach helps the Sixth Edition maintain its
place as still the most scientific, contemporary, and applicable
text of its kind.

Two decades have now passed since the revolutions of 1989 swept
through Eastern Europe and precipitated the collapse of state
socialism across the region, engendering a period of massive
social, economic and political transformation. This book explores
the ways in which young people growing up in post-socialist Eastern
Europe and the former Soviet Union negotiate a range of identities
and transitions in their personal lives against a backdrop of
thoroughgoing transformation in their societies. Drawing upon
original empirical research in a range of countries, the book's
contributors explore the various freedoms and insecurities that
have accompanied neo-liberal transformation in post-socialist
countries - in spheres as diverse as consumption, migration,
political participation, volunteering, employment and family
formation - and examine the ways in which they have begun to
re-shape different aspects of young people's lives. In addition,
while 'social change' is a central theme of the issue, all of the
chapters in the collection indicate that the new opportunities and
risks faced by young people continue both to underpin and to be
shaped by familiar social and spatial divisions, not only within
and between the countries addressed, but also between 'East' and
'West'. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Journal of Youth Studies.
