Entrenamiento para ciclistas. Sobrecargas máximas

Publisher: Paidotribo
ISBN: 8499109454

Pages : 343
Book Description
Entrenamiento para ciclistas. Sobrecargas máximas es un innovador programa de entrenamiento basado en la fuerza y destinado a aumentar la velocidad de los ciclistas, la longevidad deportiva y la salud general en la mitad de tiempo. Una vez de mejorar la tolerancia física recorriendo distancias más largas sobre la bici, aprenderás a hacerlo reduciendo el tiempo que pasas pedaleando e incorporando el entrenamiento de la fuerza y la potencia. Tradicionalmente, los ciclistas y los deportistas de fondo han evitado este tipo de entrenamiento, creyendo que el paso adicional del músculo los volvería más lentos; sin embargo, los autores Jacques DeVore y Roy M. Wallack te demuestran exactamente lo contrario. El programa de sobrecargas máximas recurre al levantamiento de pesas para generar potencia sostenible y mejorar la velocidad a la vez que reduce drásticamente el tiempo de entrenamiento y elimina el temido deterioro que se suele producir durante la segunda mitad de las pruebas físicas. Una sesión de sobrecargas máximas de 40 minutos, dos o tres veces por semana, remplaza un largo día sobre el sillín y obtiene resultados incluso mejores. Este programa general aporta una perspectiva única sobre la dieta, el entrenamiento con intervalos, las sesiones duras y fáciles de entrenamiento y la potencia sostenible. Respaldado por reconocidas figuras del deporte. Entrenamiento para ciclistas. Sobrecargas máximas en un libro del que no puede prescindir ningún ciclista.

La Dieta De Marin County
Author: Albert C Goldberg
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1493150456
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 467
Book Description
This book contains everything a parent needs to know to design an optimal diet for the healthy child from infancy through the teenage years. It addresses the need for a practical nutrition book that contains evidence based information rather than "faith based" reasoning passed off as "science." It addresses the daily nutritional health issues of children in a specific, truthful, and friendly way. In addition to parents, this book will be of special interest to nursery schools, elementary and high school teachers, coaches, all health care providers, family physicians, pediatricians, and nurses who work with children, including pediatric and family nurse practitioners. At the turn of the previous century, malnutritionthe lack of certain nutrients, vitamins and mineralswas a problem second only to infection in this country. Today malnutrition is more likely to be a case of overconsumption of certain nutrients. Too much has replaced too little: too much fat, too much salt, too much sugar, and too much ultra-processed food. The author reveals the solution to the problem of overconsumption in this book, which is peppered throughout with helpful, nutritious recipes, as well as examples of the food labels of many popular products, with notes on what to look out for when reading the packages of your favorite foods. Although most of Dr. Goldberg's suggestions and anecdotes come from his years of nurturing thousands of children (and their parents), he has recruited the experience of many other experts in nutrition. For the past twenty five years the author has worked in countries such as Argentina, Chile, China, Colombia, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Honduras, India, Nepal, Philippines, Peru, Venezuela, and Vietnam, where poverty, ignorance, social disintegration and war have contributed to nutritional diseases, and he has brought back with him a keen understanding of the multi-cultural effects upon diet. In 2001 Doctor Goldberg was selected as one of fifty "Unsung Heroes of Compassion"from around the world and was acknowledged personally by His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama.
