ADVANCES IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORTS SCIENCE


Book Description

Weight training refers to any type of training that involves the body moving in same direction against a force that resists that movement and is supplied by some type of weight including free weights and weight machines [8]. Weight training using near one-repetition (1RM) weight at low velocity has been found to improve the muscle’s ability to generate force, but the increase in strength may not be effective at velocities that stimulate the speed of sport performance [3]. Muscular strength is much different from muscular endurance. Strength is a measure of how much force your muscles can exert, while endurance is the measure of how many times your muscles can repeat a specific exertion of force. Unlike muscular endurance which is controlled by slow twitch fibers, strength is determined by fast twitch fibers which focus more on quick bursts of energy rather than long, drawn out ones.

Regulation of Coronary Blood Flow


Book Description

Research centering on blood flow in the heart continues to hold an important position, especially since a better understanding of the subject may help reduce the incidence of coronary arterial disease and heart attacks. This book summarizes recent advances in the field; it is the product of fruitful cooperation among international scientists who met in Japan in May, 1990 to discuss the regulation of coronary blood flow.
