Temperature plays an important role in sports - regarding both the
athlete's performance and health. However, until now, these
effects, e.g. thermoregulatory mechanisms as well as the variations
of body temperature during physical exertion have barely been
considered. This book presents studies and results which prove that
cold application has a positive influence on the athlete's
performance and regeneration ability. Based on the results of
international studies, and considering the control mechanisms and
principles of thermoregulation, the effects of cold application
should be utilized in training and competition.

This book describes and illustrates the normal and abnormal
postoperative appearances that may be observed following common
orthopaedic surgical procedures in patients with sports injuries.
The majority of sports injuries comprise ligamentous, cartilage,
and tendon injuries at and about the joints. While surgical repair
techniques for such injuries have advanced immeasurably over recent
years, it is essential that any postoperative abnormalities are
recognized promptly. Therefore a key aim of Postoperative Imaging
of Sports Injuries is to explain which imaging appearances are to
be expected and which are not. The book is primarily organized
according to the involved joints and covers procedures for
shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist, hip, knee, and foot and ankle
injuries. An additional chapter addresses articular cartilage
repair techniques and their normal and abnormal imaging
appearances. The authors are leading radiologists from Europe and
North America who draw on their extensive experience. The book is
copiously illustrated and readers will also have online access to
ultrasound video clips.

Part sport and part exercise, running boosts health, longevity and
mental well-being. However, running is a demanding activity that
can potentially tax the runner's body and mind. Therefore,
possessing durability for running-a fusion of toughness and
flexibility-is desirable to enhance a runner's physical and mental
experience. This book-the first of its kind to combine corrective
exercise, self-myofascial release, and yoga-empowers runners with
measures to avoid unnecessary pain, injury and burnout. It is a
comprehensive guide to creating a simple and efficient system of
personalized supplemental training in which runners learn to
identify and address areas of imbalance and overuse. These training
methods increase strength, stability, mobility, and resiliency, and
require as little as 15 minutes per day to implement. Runners can
decrease the risk of injury, improve running performance, and
maintain joint health. The result: a more durable body and mind
that will support your running-and your life-for years to come.
This book looks historically at the harm that has been inflicted in
the practice of sport and at some of the issues, debates and
controversies that have arisen as a result. Written by experts in
history, sociology, sport journalism and public health, the book
considers sport and injury in relation to matters of social class;
gender; ethnicity and race; sexuality; political ideology and
national identity; health and wellbeing; childhood; animal rights;
and popular culture. These matters are, in turn, variously related
to a range of sports, including ancient, pre- and early industrial
sports; American football; boxing; wrestling and other combat
sports; mountaineering; horseracing; cycling; motor racing; rugby
football; cricket; association football; baseball; basketball;
Crossfit; ice hockey; Olympic sports; Mixed Martial Arts; and sport
in an imagined dystopian future.
This book comprehensively discusses the basic and practical aspects
of foot and ankle surgery applied to all pathologies resulting from
instabilities of these joints, a condition that remains
underestimated. Uniquely, it not only addresses injuries to the
lateral ankle ligaments, but also examines injuries to the
deltoid-spring ligament complex, the syndesmotic and chopart joint
ligaments, as well as peritalar instability - all pathologies that
have often been neglected in the past. For each type of
instability, it describes the anatomical basics and the
biomechanical features, allowing readers to understand the injury
pattern, the subsequent symptoms and clinical findings. Further, it
offers guidance on selecting the most appropriate imaging tool for
diagnosis and planning surgical reconstruction. Written by
world-renowned pioneers in the field, and featuring a wealth of
high-quality, intraoperative pictures, the book guides readers
step-by-step through the latest, innovative technical surgical
solutions for each condition. With its consistent structure, from
the basics to the solution, its problem-oriented approach as well
as its meticulously selected iconography, this book is a must-read
for all orthopedic surgeons with an interest in foot and ankle
surgery whishing to explore this promising field. Further, it is a
valuable resource for residents, researchers and physiotherapists
wishing to gain insights into foot and ankle instability and
reconstructive surgery.
This book gathers papers presented at the 2019 Movement, Health
& Exercise (MoHE) Conference and International Sports Science
Conference (ISSC). The theme of this year's conference was
"Enhancing Health and Sports Performance by Design". The content
covers (but is not limited to) the following topics: exercise
science; human performance; physical activity & health; sports
medicine; sports nutrition; management & sports studies; and
sports engineering & technology.
Grounded in scientific and clinical evidence, this highly
illustrated new guide gives an introduction to the diagnosis and
treatment of musculoskeletal disorders using the Fascial
Manipulation (FM) method developed by Luigi Stecco - the foremost
scientifically valid method of evaluating and treating fascial
dysfunction. It describes FM's history, anatomy and physiology of
fasciae, indications and contraindications, mechanisms of action,
and details of the subjective and physical techniques used to
manage disorders. A Practical Guide to Fascial Manipulation focuses
on concepts around evaluating the fascia based on functional
testing, movement and direction in specific spatial planes, and the
location of specific areas to treat safely. With an emphasis
throughout on accessible practical information, the book is also
supported by a website - www.guidefascial.com - containing
procedural video clips and an image bank.
This book provides readers with detailed guidance on the
evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of injuries and disorders of
the elbow, including dislocation, complex instability, articular
fractures, epicondylitis and epitrochleitis, distal biceps and
triceps tendon injuries, peripheral nerve pathology, snapping
triceps syndrome, elbow stiffness, and upper limb compartment
syndrome. The choice between conservative and surgical treatment in
different settings is clearly explained, and detailed advice
offered on selection of surgical technique. A separate section
provides a deeper understanding of the most common sports-related
elbow pathologies, and their management, based on careful
correlation with the movements performed by athletes in particular
sports. Extensive consideration is also given to rehabilitation and
physiotherapy protocols. This book will be of value for all
orthopedic surgeons and other specialists who care for patients
with elbow injuries, which can represent a challenge even to the
more experienced.
This book presents the consensus findings of the ISAKOS Shoulder
Committee regarding the treatment options in patients suffering
from shoulder pain and reduced function or dead arm syndrome as a
consequence of rotator cuff injuries. The aim is twofold: to equip
readers with a precise knowledge of the presenting characteristics
of these injuries in different age groups and to describe in detail
the initial management and surgical and non-surgical approaches,
taking into account the age-specific features. Readers will find
clear descriptions of all the latest arthroscopic techniques, which
allow repair of even the largest tears. The indications for and
performance of tendon transfer procedures, biceps tenotomy,
tenodesis, hemiarthroplasty, anatomic shoulder arthroplasty,
reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, and revision surgery are
explained. Helpful guidance is also provided on the use of
strategies to promote rotator cuff healing, including stem cell
therapy and scaffolds. The authors are leading experts in the
field, and the book will be of value for all shoulder surgeons and
orthopaedic trainees and consultants, as well as sports medicine
specialists.
