Corbatta
by Alejandro WallLa vida y la caída de Oreste Osmar Corbatta, el famoso wing derecho de Racing, figura mítica del fútbol argentino, narrada por uno de los más destacados periodistas deportivos jóvenes: Alejandro Wall. Oreste Osmar Corbatta hizo un gol de antología. Fue contra Chile en 1957, en la cancha de Boca. No hay registros fílmicos. Bastaron una secuencia fotográfica más el relato de los hinchas, los periodistas y los jugadores testigos de la obra para que ese gol entrara en la historia del fútbol argentino. Corbatta fue tal vez nuestro Garrincha. Wing derecho, analfabeto y alcohólico. Ídolo en Racing -club en el que se hizo conocido y ganó dos títulos-, también bicampeón con Boca, y estrella en una selección argentina en la que brilló junto a otros cracks. Después fueron el exilio en Colombia, el regreso a San Telmo y su refugio en el sur. Y al final se mezclaron la angustia, el ocio y el alcohol. Poco a poco, lo había perdido todo. Vivía debajo de la tribuna de Racing y se paseaba como un zombie por las calles de Avellaneda. Entonces se convirtió en un mito. Alejandro Wall reconstruye aquí ese recorrido, y el relato de la búsqueda de la figura y su fantasma.
Core: A Science-Backed Approach to Exercising and Understanding Our Central Anatomy
by Owen LewisA holistic, in-depth guide to understanding 'core' strength for therapists, movement professionals, and serious enthusiasts seeking advanced insights into functional training for mental and physical healthHealth magazines, gym-class instructors, and YouTube fitness experts frequently speak of the importance of a strong &“core,&” the muscles at our body&’s center that provide stability and support our movement. We know that improved core function can reduce symptoms of low back pain and pelvic pain, incontinence, and breathing issues. But while the core may be well-known, it is still poorly understood: there is no universally agreed-upon definition of the core or the muscles it comprises. Core adopts a holistic yet practical approach to demystifying the core, considering this crucial muscle group for its physical importance to bodily movement as well as our emotional and spiritual center. Physical therapist Owen Lewis digs into a wide range of metaphors and frameworks used to understand the core—from the Japanese concept of hara, a central storehouse of energy, to the set of specific muscles referenced in fitness studios everywhere. While physical therapy and core-exercise regimens tend to emphasize strength building and stable posture, Lewis argues for an approach that is also flexible, fluid, and adaptable: the same exercises may not be appropriate for every person, and may need to be changed up over time. In some cases, a &“weak&” core may be the result of muscles that are overworked and stressed, and &“good&” posture may create more pain than it prevents. Lewis clearly explains how the core works to manage and transfer the force of movement through the center of the body, building on principles of biotensegrity (how the tension and compression of different muscles creates a balanced structure which distributes stress and strain). The final chapters of the book provide a range of useful, functional training exercises suitable for lay readers but especially helpful as examples for therapists and trainers to use with clients.Lewis emphasizes functional training and underlying principles over a static list of exercises, providing the groundwork for tailored, individual training to improve core function. Supplemented throughout with color photos and a diverse range of models, Core makes it easy to understand the anatomy of this crucial region of the body, as well as key principles for more effective and safe exercises and training regimens.

Students in athletic training, coaching, or other health care fields will find current information covering the breadth of theory and application of athletic training, including evidence-based practice, prevention and health promotion, clinical examination and diagnosis, acute and emergency care, therapeutic interventions, and health care administration. It also presents advanced topics of pathophysiology and psychological response to sport injury to better prepare students for continued study. Compared to other introductory athletic training texts, Core Concepts in Athletic Training and Therapy is the only text that aligns with the newest athletic training education competencies from the National Athletic Trainers' Association (2011). Written by a team of respected athletic training educators with experience at the professional and collegiate levels, the text breaks new ground by condensing key concepts to a comprehensive level while not overwhelming students with content that will be addressed in depth in advanced courses. Numerous features assist students in learning the fundamentals: - Each of the six parts opens with a discussion of the competencies that are covered in that part and concludes with a reference list of those competencies by description and number, making it easy to monitor the knowledge required. - A companion web resource contains 41 clinical proficiency exercises, carefully chosen to complement the introductory level of the text and align with required educational objectives. The modules may be completed online or printed, and cross-references at the end of each chapter guide students to the appropriate modules to apply the chapter content. - Case studies sprinkled throughout the text demonstrate real-world situations and include critical thinking questions that underscore principles of rehabilitation and exercise. - Full-color photographs depict specific conditions and techniques, giving students an accurate picture of real practice. - For instructors, a complete set of ancillaries assists in preparing and presenting lectures, leading class discussion, and planning assignments and assessments. In addition, Core Concepts in Athletic Training and Therapy is the first text to offer a complete chapter on evidence-based practice, the newest educational competency required of entry-level athletic trainers by the NATA. The rest of the text introduces general information about life as an athletic trainer, such as training, education, licensure, certification, employment opportunities, and the roles in a sports medicine team. The core of the text then focuses on required knowledge and skills related to injury prevention, injury recognition and classification (including region-specific examination strategies, basic objective tests, physical exam strategies, and injury mechanisms), acute care, therapeutic interventions, and the role of pharmaceuticals in the healing process. To round out the text, it addresses health care administration and discusses strategies for the management of athletic training programs. With learning features and a web resource that integrate clinical learning into an introductory course, Core Concepts in Athletic Training and Therapy is the essential resource for current and future athletic trainers. Long after its first use, it will prove a valuable reference for athletic training students as they progress through the curriculum, prepare for certificiation, and begin careers in the profession.
