En este libro el lector podrá encontrar desde las historias más emocionantes, hilarantes y de sacrificio que rodean este juego en nuestro país.

Perceived Exertion Laboratory Manual
by Michael Gallagher Jr. Luke Haile Robert J. Robertson This manual provides laboratory-based learning experiences in perceptually and psychosocially linked exercise assessment, prescription, and programming. The primary pedagogic outcome is the ability to use applied theory and practice in perceptual and psychosocial exercise assessment and program design to promote the adoption and maintenance of a physically active lifestyle, enhancing overall health fitness. Perceptual and psychosocial variables are presented in individual, stand-alone laboratory modules that can supplement existing curricula such as exercise and sport psychology, exercise physiology, exercise testing and prescription, and exercise training and conditioning. In addition, the complete modular set has a conceptual flow that allows its presentation as an entire, laboratory-based course. The laboratory modules are divided into three primary units: assessment (theoretical constructs, scales and procedures, tests), prescription (self-regulation, performance), and program evaluation. The manual uses a unique format in which case studies are embedded in the conceptual flow of each lab module facilitating translation of laboratory results to real-world application. The manual concludes with a discussion of perceptually and psychosocially linked exercise prescription and programming applications in public health, such as program monitoring and adherence.
Perceptions of East Asian and Asian North American Athletics (East Asian Popular Culture)
by Cynthia Wang Steve Bien-AiméThis book highlights inconsistencies within the field of sports scholarship and provides an opportunity to open up and extend conversations about the intersection of sports media and race — particularly surrounding athletes of East Asian descent. Despite the growing influence of East Asian and Asian American/Canadian athletes, they are still underrepresented in Western media and in scholarship. This anthology adds much-needed literature to sports, popular culture, East Asian, and Asian American studies. The prominence of sports in global popular culture makes the intersections explored in this collection a crucial addition to existing conversations about both sports and East Asian/Asian American/Canadian studies.
Percutaneous and Minimally Invasive Foot Surgery
by Cyrille Cazeau Yves StiglitzThis book on percutaneous and minimally invasive foot surgery comprehensively covers one of the most innovative topics in orthopedic surgery, discussing decision-making based on foot biomechanics and presenting step-by-step descriptions of each surgical procedure. The chapters are divided into four sections, the first of which lays the groundwork for further reading by providing a comprehensive overview of the biomechanical approach. The second part then guides readers through making appropriate choices in order to ensure stable corrections and allow immediate full weight-bearing and fast rehabilitation without compromising patient outcomes. In the third part, leading surgeons in the field describe each procedure step-by-step with the help of operative pictures, while the last part addresses technical postoperative issues, such as postoperative dressing and cast management, as well as complications and how to reduce them. All chapters are richly illustrated and clearly highlight the key points for successful surgery and minimized risks. Unique in its focus on percutaneous and minimally invasive foot surgery, this book offers an invaluable resource for postgraduate students, residents, orthopedists wanting to specialize in foot surgery, as well as practicing orthopedic surgeons and podiatrists.
Perder Peso Em Uma Semana
by PEDRO HUGO GARCÍA PELÁEZ Sara Maria Silva Oliveira- Com os exercícios neste livro pode emagrecer desde o primeiro dia. - 5 quilos por semana sem esforço. - Nas primeiras sessões irá desaparecer a gordura da barriga, algo incómodo já que é como levar uma mochila na barriga. - O corpo está desenhado para se mover de forma harmónica e se o mover dessa maneira irá conseguir um corpo perfeito. - Com as calculadores online que lhe permitem calcular a frequência natural de oscilação das diferentes partes do seu corpo, introduzindo as variáveis do seu próprio corpo, como massa, longitude, etc e que lhe dão a frequência de forma automática. - Diferentes exercícios como nadar ou pedalar. - Ao nadar o nosso corpo pode-se assemelhar a uma tábua, e há que movê-lo de determinada forma na água, para que entre em ressonância com o nosso próprio impulso. - Ao pedalar numa bicicleta estátiva, as nossas pernas são pêndulos físicos que há que mover em harmonia com o seu próprio peso, longitude e raio. - Os nossos braços podem ser usados como molas de constante elástica muito grande, quase indeformáveis para fortalecer a parte superior do nosso corpo. Extrato do capítulo 2: A perda de peso começa-se a sentir desde o primeiro dia e não é necessário demasiado esforço, entre cinco a dez minutos por dia é suficiente. Antes de avançar quero dizer que caso se sinta mal com algum dos exercícios descritos neste livro, pare de o fazer e consulte um médico, eu só trato de pôr ao serviço do exercício físico as ferramentas físicas que conhecemos. Faz uns dois anos que tive esta ideia, como se caísse do céu, e é que o corpo humano se pode assemelhar a uma tábua, o exemplo é um pouco macabro, mas quando uma pessoa se mete num caixão vemos que também não sobra muito espaço. Um caixão tem uma frequência natural de flutuação como é o caso de um barco que só depende dos seus lados. Os gregos já sabiam que quando mergulhamos um corpo este experimenta uma forç
Perdere peso in una settimana
by Daniela Giovannetti PEDRO HUGO GARCÍA PELÁEZIo ho un modo di dire: "Tutto quello che non si può misurare non serve a molto". Quello che spiegherò in questo libro non è una scoperta scientifica, ma semplicemente un'applicazione della meccanica classica ai movimenti delle braccia, delle gambe, ecc... La meccanica classica è la meccanica di Newton ed è la meccanica dei corpi grandi, non entreremo nel merito di considerazioni relativiste o di meccanica quantistica di nessun tipo. Fondamentalmente darò gli strumenti necessari per sfruttare il tempo nel quale bisogna muovere le varie parti del corpo per entrare in risonanza con la frequenza naturale delle parti stesse. Se non capite il fenomeno della risonanza, dovrete credere a ciò che sto per raccontare, ma proverò a fornire alcuni esempi in modo da capire meglio questo fenomeno. Tecnicamente si entra in risonanza con un oscillatore fisico, come un'altalena o le braccia, quando c'è un'altra forza che spinge con frequenza praticamente identica alla frequenza naurale dell'oscillante fisico, e ne deriva che l'ampiezza tende a infinito quando entrambe le frequenze sono praticamente identiche. Per esempio, quando una persona spinge un bambino sull'altalena (tralasciamo l'attrito delle catene dell'altalena) e questa forza ha la stessa frequenza di quella naturale dell'altalena, che si può considerare come un pendolo, arriva un momento in cui la forza cinetica si impone e infine il bambino vola via, con l'ampiezza del movimento dell'altalena che si ingigantisce enormemente (speriamo che nessuno lo sperimenti). Alcune precauzioni derivano da questo e si usano anche nell'esercito: quando un battaglione passa su un ponte, lo si fa rallentare visto che la forza che produce il movimento all'unisono della truppa entra in risonanza con la struttura del ponte e questo potrebbe crollare; prendiamo anche l'esempio del soprano che emette una nota continuata con la stessa frequen
Peredo Total
by Daniel Peredo"Si algo tenemos que agradecerle a Peredo los peruanos no son solamente sus entrañables contribuciones retóricas "frases y muletillas que el hincha pelotero trasladaba con naturalidad de la pantalla a la pichanga", sino el haber configurado un personaje sin antecedentes." Renato Cisneros "En un país donde se celebra la exaltación y se repite el exabrupto, Peredo fue capaz de ser analítico cuando la caída exigía llorar una catástrofe y optimista cuando el sentido común aconsejaba dudar." Jerónimo Pimentel Peredo Total reúne los textos que Daniel Peredo, el periodista deportivo más querido e influyente del Perú, publicó en El Bocón, Once y El Comercio. Son casi treinta años de reporteo de campo de un periodista completo y versátil, que destacó tanto en el teclado como en la cabina radial y la pantalla televisiva. El libro, en ese sentido, refleja en cada capítulo una variante de su repertorio: crónicas, entrevistas, opiniones e historias. En todas las piezas es posible apreciar las virtudes que hicieron de Peredo el periodista emblemático de su generación: memoria, agudeza, narración y análisis. Esta historia es también la del fútbol peruano y, por supuesto, la de todos los que escuchamos, por uno u otro medio, su voz y su emoción.
Perfect
by Lew Paper"If you want to live inside the most famous statistical afternoon in baseball history, Perfect is. . . well, let's just say 'ideal'. " -Chuck Closterman, Esquire On October 8, 1956, New York Yankees pitcher Don Larsen took the mound for game five of the World Series against the rival Brooklyn Dodgers. In an improbable performance that the New York Times called "the greatest moment in the history of the Fall Classic," Larsen, an otherwise mediocre journeyman pitcher, retired twenty-seven straight Dodger batters to clinch a perfect game and, to date, the only postseason no-hitter ever witnessed in major league baseball. Here, Lew Paper delivers a masterful pitch-by-pitch account of that fateful day and the extraordinary lives of the players on the field- seven of whom would later be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Meticulously researched and relying on dozens of interviews, Paper's gripping narrative recreates Larsen's feat in a pitching duel that featured legendary figures such as Mickey Mantle, Jackie Robinson, Yogi Berra, and Roy Campanella. More than just the story of a single game, Perfect is a window into baseball's glorious past.

Perfect Eloquence: An Appreciation of Vin Scully
by Ron RapoportWhen Vin Scully passed away in 2022, the city of Los Angeles lost its soundtrack. If you were able to deliver a eulogy for him, what might it include? What impact did he have on you? What do you carry forward from his legacy? Sixty-seven essayists—one representing each season of his career calling games for the Los Angeles Dodgers, from 1950 through 2016—reflect on the ways his professional and private life influenced them. The contributions include a range of stories and remembrances from those who knew and followed him. The consensus of the contributions is that Scully&’s actions spoke louder than his well-recognized words. This collection includes fellow broadcasters as well as historians, players, journalists, celebrities, and others connected to the game of baseball, with each piece introduced by sports journalist Tom Hoffarth. Readers can consider Scully&’s life through common themes: his sincerity, his humility, his professionalism, his passion for his faith, his devotion to his family, his insistence on remembering and giving context to important moments in the history of not just the game but the world in general, all wrapped up in a gift for weaving storytelling with accurate reporting, fellowship with performance art, humor, and connection.

Perfectly Awful: The Philadelphia 76ers' Horrendous and Hilarious 1972-1973 Season
by Charley RosenDuring the 1972–1973 basketball season, the Philadelphia 76ers were not just a bad team; they were fantastically awful. Doomed from the start after losing their leading scorer and rebounder, Billy Cunningham, as well as head coach Jack Ramsay, they lost twenty-one of their first twenty-three games. A Philadelphia newspaper began calling them the Seventy Sickers, and they duly lost their last thirteen games on their way to a not-yet-broken record of nine wins and seventy-three losses. Charley Rosen recaptures the futility of that season through the firsthand accounts of players, participants, and observers. Although the team was uniformly bad, there were still many memorable moments, and the lore surrounding the team is legendary. Once, when head coach Roy Rubin tried to substitute John Q. Trapp out of a game, Trapp refused and told Rubin to look behind the team’s bench, whereby one of Trapp’s friends supposedly opened his jacket to show his handgun. With only four wins at the All-Star break, Rubin was fired and replaced by player-coach Kevin Loughery. In addition to chronicling the 76ers’ woes, Perfectly Awful also captures the drama, culture, and attitude of the NBA in an era when many white fans believed that the league had too many black players.
Performance Analysis in Game Sports: Concepts and Methods
by Martin LamesThis book offers a comprehensive overview on the methods and concepts of theoretical and practical performance analysis. Observational systems for action detection and tracking systems for position detection are introduced, starting from basic methodological principles. The issue of reliability testing is addressed for both methods, and examples of successful applications are provided.The distinction between theoretical and practical performance as essential conceptual achievement is explained in two separate chapters. Most recent theoretical models of game sports are presented, including the dynamical systems perspective, stochastic modelling, and contingency or chance as part of the game. The practical chapter introduces the concept of comprehensive performance analysis as appropriate background. It deals with qualitative methods used for assessing player and team performances, strategy development, and methods and principles of video tactic training for successful transfer of the results of analyses. The book will be of value to all with an interest in the dramatically increasing impact of performance analysis in game sports.
