Triathlon for the every woman : you can be a triathlete. Yes. You.
\"Meredith Atwood was a tired, overworked wife and mom who never thought she'd run a mile, let alone swim, bike, and run. But after trial, error, tears, chafing, and a lot of grit, she went from stressed-out lawyer to an IRONMAN 70.3 triathlete in just over a year. Now a triathlon coach and four-time IRONMAN triathlete, Meredith shares her hard-won widsom and tips, anecdote, and laughs. In Triathlon for the Every Woman you'll find: a basic blueprint for getting started that will inspire you to find your motivation. Lists of equipment necessary to do your first (or next!) triathlon-what you don't need, what you do, and how not to go broke getting it. Expert nutrition advice that won't starve, shame, or sabotage you. Compact and easy-to-implement training plans that won't kill you. Practical advice on how to fit triathlon into your busy life.\" -- Page 4 of cover.

Boxing for MMA : building the fistic edge in competition & self-defense for men & women
This manual serves a dual purpose. First, it is a boxing primer to review (or discover) the boxing basics including stance, footwork, punches and combinations; and the filp side: defenses and counters for each fistic attack. Second, it takes these boxing skills and shoots them through an MMA prism that addresses the realities of mixed martial arts competition or combat. This guide will be your go-to resource for absorbing the boxing game and blending those skills into your MMA fighting arsenal.--Publisher.

Training for the new alpinism : a manual for the climber as athlete
Applying training practices from other endurance sports, the authors demonstrate that following a carefully designed regimen is as effective for alpinism as it is for any other endurance sport and leads to better performance. They deliver detailed instruction on how to plan and execute training tailored to your individual circumstances, translating training theory into practice to allow you to coach yourself to any mountaineering goal.--Publisher.

Sprint versus isolated eccentric training: Comparative effects on hamstring architecture and performance in soccer players
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of hamstring eccentric (NHE) strength training versus sprint training programmed as complements to regular soccer practice, on sprint performance and its mechanical underpinnings, as well as biceps femoris long head (BFlh) architecture.
In this prospective interventional control study, sprint performance, sprint mechanics and BFlh architecture variables were compared before versus after six weeks of training during the first six preseason weeks, and between three different random match-pair groups of soccer players: \"Soccer group\" (n = 10), \"Nordic group\" (n = 12) and \"Sprint group\" (n = 10).
For sprint performance and mechanics, small to large pre-post improvements were reported in \"Sprint group\" (except maximal running velocity), whereas only trivial to small negative changes were reported in \"Soccer group\" and \"Nordic group\". For BFlh architecture variables, \"Sprint\" group showed moderate increase in fascicle length compared to smaller augment for the \"Nordic\" group with trivial changes for \"Soccer group\". Only \"Nordic\" group presented small increases at pennation angle.
The results suggest that sprint training was superior to NHE in order to increase BFlh fascicle length although only the sprint training was able to both provide a preventive stimulus (increase fascicle length) and at the same time improve both sprint performance and mechanics. Further studies with advanced imaging techniques are needed to confirm the validity of the findings.

Effect of short-term exercise with different programs on prevention of sarcopenia in postmenopausal women: A Quasi-Randomized Controlled Trial
Physical exercise is an effective measure to prevent sarcopenia. However, the effects of Nordic walking based on high-intensity interval training (HIIT NW) and conventional strength training (ST) on the parameters related to sarcopenia in postmenopausal women remain unclear. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effects of 12-week HIIT NW and ST on body composition and physical function performance in postmenopausal women.
The participants were 71 women aged between 60 and 79 years old without sarcopenia. Participants were randomly assigned to the HIIT NW group (12-week Nordic walking training, 3 × /week), the ST group (12-week strength training, 3 × /week), and the control group. The body composition was determined by using Otupole InBody 720. Test the hand grip strength with a digital hand force gauge. The strength of the extensor and flexor muscles of the knee joint was measured using Biodex System 4 Pro™. This study also employed common methods for measuring functional performance and conducted two measurements of blood creatinine and creatine kinase.
Compared with the control group, significant improvements were observed in parameters such as Time Up and Go (TUG) and knee joint flexor strength (KFS) in both the HIIT NW group and the ST group. In the ST group alone, significant enhancements were noted in parameters including walking speed (GS) and hand strength on the left side (HS-L). Following the intervention, the HIIT NW group exhibited a marked increase in limb lean mass, which led to a significant rise in the skeletal muscle index (SMI) (p < 0.001). However, the body fat mass (BFM) and body mass index (BMI) decreased significantly in the ST group (p < 0.001 and p = 0.005, respectively). No significant changes were observed in the control group.
Both HIIT NW and ST interventions can effectively prevent sarcopenia in postmenopausal women. The former focuses on improving lower limb strength, while the latter focuses on improving upper limb strength. In the short term, the HIIT NW intervention model is more beneficial for postmenopausal women with normal weight, while the conventional ST intervention model is more conducive to the overweight population.

Efectos de un programa de entrenamiento en estrategias de aprendizaje
This article shows a Training Program on Processing Strategies, following Beltran's work on learning processes, strategies and techniques (1993, 1996, 1997,1998). In this investigation the learning strategies (SO, SE, OE, SOE) were simultaneously applied to first-year secondary school students of social and natural sciences. The evaluation model was almost experimental, with a non-equivalent group control. The results were evaluated before and after the treatment. The data analysis was based on an ANCOVA, with the following variables: the treatment (experimental -learning strategies- and control) as intersubject variable; the postest results as dependant variables and the pretest test variables, as covariant. The results of this research show that the treatments that included the three processing strategies (SOE) were more effective than those with only two simultaneous strategies (SE, SO, OE), both with regard to the control group of the several investigation variables and the two mentioned areas.
