Shipwreck at the bottom of the world : the extraordinary true story of Shackleton and the Endurance
Describes the events of the 1914 Shackleton Antarctic expedition when, after being trapped in a frozen sea for nine months, their ship, Endurance, was finally crushed, forcing Shackleton and his men to make a very long and perilous journey across ice and stormy seas to reach inhabited land.

Anthropometric and physiological profiles of highly trained sailors in various positions and levels
This study aimed to analyze anthropometric and physiological profiles of highly trained sailors and the differences between sailors regarding various training levels. Forty-two sailors (22 male, 22.4 ± 3.8 years; 20 females, 21.3 ± 3.6 years) were divided into helmsmen and crew groups, and the high- and low-level were distinguished. Sailors completed height, sitting height, legs length, weight, BMI, VO2max, 30 s all-out sprint, isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP), countermovement jump, bench pull, core endurance tests. The results showed the crew had higher height, sitting height, weight, VO2max and lower trunk flexor endurance test times compared to the helmsmen (
p
< 0.05). The helmsmen had higher relative peak power/force in the 30 s all-out sprint and IMTP tests compared to the crew, whereas the crew had better absolute strength in bench pull, with significant differences between female sailors (
p
< 0.05). The high-level sailors showed more sailing experience than low-level sailors (
p
< 0.05). In conclusion, highly trained crew tend to be taller and heavier, while helmsmen have better trunk flexor endurance. For female sailors, helmsmen have better lower-body power and strength and crew have better upper-body strength. Sailing experience is a reliable variable to distinguish sailors’ levels. The specific anthropometric and physiological profiles of sailors in various positions can assist sailing coaches in athlete selection and intervention training.

Endurance and neuromuscular changes in world-class level kayakers during a periodized training cycle
This study was undertaken to analyze changes in selected cardiovascular and neuromuscular variables in a group of elite kayakers across a 12-week periodized cycle of combined strength and endurance training. Eleven world-class level paddlers underwent a battery of tests and were assessed four times during the training cycle (T0, T1, T2, and T3). On each occasion subjects completed an incremental test to exhaustion on the kayak-ergometer to determine maximal oxygen uptake (
V
O
2max
), second ventilatory threshold (
V
T2), peak blood lactate, paddling speed at
V
O
2max
(PS

) and at

T2 (PS

), stroke rate at

and at

and at

T2. One-repetition maximum (1RM) and mean velocity with 45% 1RM load (
V

) were assessed in the bench press (BP) and prone bench pull (PBP) exercises. Anthropometric measurements (skinfold thicknesses and muscle girths) were also obtained. Training volume and exercise intensity were quantified for each of three training phases (P1, P2, and P3). Significant improvements in

in BP (14.4%) and PBP (10.0%) were observed from T0 to T3. A 12-week periodized strength and endurance program with special emphasis on prioritizing the sequential development of specific physical fitness components in each training phase (i.e. muscle hypertrophy and
V
T2 in P1, and maximal strength and aerobic power in P2) seems effective for improving both cardiovascular and neuromuscular markers of highly trained top-level athletes.

إنديورانس : رحلة استكشاف تحولت إلى أعظم مغامرة للبقاء على قيد الحياة
هذا الكتاب يعتبر واحدا من أعظم قصص البقاء على قيد الحياة في التاريخ، حيث يسرد القصة الملحمية لرحلة المستكشف البريطاني إرنست شاكلتون وطاقمه أثناء رحلتهم إلى القطب الجنوبي في عام 1914. أبحرت سفينة إندورانس من إنجلترا متجهة إلى القارة القطبية الجنوبية، حيث كان المستكشف القطبي إرنست شاكلتون يخطط لعبور آخر قارة مجهولة سيرا على الأقدام، وبعد أن شقت طريقها لمدة ستة أسابيع عبر ألف ميل من الجليد، ولم يعد يفصلها عن وجهتها سوى يوم واحد فقط، أصبحت سفينة إندورانس عالقة في جزيرة من الجليد. وعلى مدى عشرة أشهر، انحرفت سفينة إندورانس الراسية في الجليد باتجاه الشمال الغربي قبل أن تسحقها الرياح في النهاية.

A New Type of Marine Solar-energy Sail System
In this paper, a new type of marine intelligent solar-energy sail system is designed. According to the state and environmental parameters of the ship, it can increase the illuminated area of the sail by changing the sail attitude, realize the intelligent control of the sail, realize the efficient utilization of wind energy and light energy, and effectively increase the endurance capacity and application range of the clean energy ship. The promotion of the research results can greatly save the operation cost of cruise ships, have greater economic and environmental benefits in the long run, and conform to the concept of sustainable development.

South : the story of Shackleton's last expedition, 1914-1917
\"Hailed as \"a rousing read\" by The New York Times, this breathtaking chronicle of Antarctic exploration was written by expedition leader Sir Ernest Shackleton. In 1914 the explorer and his crew were stranded at the South Pole when their ship became encased in ice and crushed. This account of their two-year struggle in one of the world's most uninhabitable regions ranks among the greatest true stories of the human will to survive\"-- Provided by publisher.

Performance changes in world-class kayakers following two different training periodization models
This study was undertaken to compare training-induced changes in selected physiological, body composition and performance variables following two training periodization models: traditional (TP) versus block periodization (BP). Ten world-class kayakers were assessed four times during a training cycle over two consecutive seasons. On each occasion, subjects completed an incremental test to exhaustion on the kayak ergometer to determine peak oxygen uptake (
V
O
2peak
),
V
O

at second ventilatory threshold (
V
O

V
T2), peak blood lactate, paddling speed at
V
O
2peak
(PS
peak
) and
V
T2 (PS
V

), power output at
V
O
2peak
(Pw

) and
V
T2 (Pw

), stroke rate at
V
O
2peak
(SR
peak
) and
V
T2 (SR
V
T2
) as well as heart rate at
V
O
2peak
and
V
T2. Volume and exercise intensity were quantified for each endurance training session. Both TP and BP cycles resulted in similar gains in
V
O
2peak
(11 and 8.1%) and
V
O
2
V
T2 (9.8 and 9.4%), even though the TP cycle was 10 weeks and 120 training hours longer than the BP cycle. Following BP paddlers experienced larger gains in PS
peak
, Pw
peak
and SR
peak
than those observed with TP. These findings suggest that BP may be more effective than TP for improving the performance of highly trained top-level kayakers. Although both models allowed significant improvements of selected physiological and kayaking performance variables, the BP program achieved similar results with half the endurance training volume used in the TP model. A BP design could be a more useful strategy than TP to maintain the residual training effects as well as to achieve greater improvements in certain variables related to kayaking performance.
