Yoga for runners / by Williamson, Lexie,author.(CARDINAL)614159;
Running is a fantastic cardiovascular workout that floods the body with 'feel good' endorphins and many runners find its rhythmic, repetitive nature a natural stress reliever and maybe even meditative. The downside of repetitive motion, however, is that it taxes a few select groups of muscles (hamstrings, quadriceps, hip flexors and Achilles) and neglects the remainder. This leads to muscular imbalances and, eventually, injury. This book addresses these imbalances by using yoga postures to both stretch and lengthen these short, tight running hotspots in a way that is time-efficient and highly targeted. Like yoga it's a union of all these physical and mental aspects that affect the performance of the runner as a whole. Practice the techniques together to become a stronger, smoother runner who is less prone to injury. Breathe deeper and more efficiently to train for longer. Gain a clear head to tackle negative distractions as you train or race, and in life generally. Sales points: 1. Specifically targeted at runners who want to use yoga to improve their performance and prevent injury. 2. Author is experienced at using yoga to help runners of all abilities. 3. Yoga is increasingly popular as a counterbalance to more intensive running training. 4. Includes poses, exercises and meditations for particular situations.

Muscle : the gripping story of strength and movement / by Meals, Roy A.,author.(CARDINAL)836068;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 229-254) and index.Discovery and description -- Molecular magic -- Skeletal muscle -- Smooth muscle -- Cardiac muscle -- Conditioning -- Human culture -- Discomforts and diseases -- Zoological survey -- Other force producers -- Cool down and stretch."Muscle tissue powers every heartbeat, blink, jog, jump, and goose bump. It is the force behind the most critical bodily functions, including digestion and childbirth, as well as extreme feats of athleticism. While most of our organs remain invisible to us, we can mold our muscles with exercise and observe the results. In this eye-opening book, orthopedic surgeon Roy A. Meals takes us on a wide-ranging journey through anatomy, biology, history, and health to unlock the mysteries of our muscles. He illustrates the molecular processes at work when our muscles contract and breaks down the three different types of muscle -- smooth, skeletal, and cardiac -- to reveal their unique and often reflexive functions in our bodies. As informative as it is engaging, Muscle explains the major advancements in medicine, from the development of the EKG machine to muscle transplants and cutting-edge gene-editing research. Meals describes the causes and treatments for common ailments like cramps and strains, as well as rare genetic disorders like muscular dystrophy. He investigates the science behind popular fitness trends, including how resistance training builds our muscles, what it means to "feel the burn," and the varied benefits of stretching, warming up, or cooling down. Along the way, Meals offers insight into the changing aesthetic and cultural conception of muscle, from Michelangelo's David to present-day bodybuilders, and detours into the animal kingdom to discover specialized muscles that control a bird's song or a whale's blowhole. Brimming with fun facts, lucid illustrations, and infectious enthusiasm, Muscle sheds light on the astonishing, essential tissue that moves us through life"--Pages 2-3 of cover
