Functional Exercise Anatomy and Physiology for Physiotherapists
by Cetin Sayaca Özden Özkal Abdulhamit Tayfur Filiz Erdem Eyüboğlu Mahmut CalikThis book aims to create a bedside resource for physiotherapists and exercise specialists dealing with a defined movement problem and plan and apply functional therapeutic exercises that can be diversified for the patient.For physiotherapists, exercise is undoubtedly the greatest weapon in treating diseases and improving health. Functional exercise approaches aim to improve physical performance and activities of daily life by adapting exercise prescriptions to the movements that the individual makes frequently in daily life or in sports. The daily activities vary from person to person due to our different habits and lifestyles. Therefore, functional exercise training should be designed differently for everyone. When designing a functional exercise prescription, physiotherapists should consider previous injuries or surgeries that may limit physical activity, as well as general health, muscular strength, endurance and strength, aerobic capacity, and activities that the patient should do in daily life. The functional exercise prescription should be customized considering both the fragility of the patient due to injury or surgery, and the strengths of the patient such as sports/exercise history and healthy eating habits.The book consists of four different parts: the concepts of exercise and physical activity, exercise types, and prescriptions are presented in the first part. The second part is dedicated to musculoskeletal anatomy specific to functional exercise, while the third part explores functional exercise-specific systems physiology and illustrates the compliance of each system with exercise, basic exercise physiology information, and the evaluation and treatment of individuals who are healthy and have diseases that affect each system. Finally, the book has the part of a special topic dealing with nutrition/nutritional supplements affecting recovery in the rehabilitation process after injury or surgery and supporting physical performance during exercise/sports. This book will be of interest to physiotherapists as well as health and sports professionals.

Functional Exercise Prescription: Supporting Rehabilitation in Movement and Sport
by Eyal LedermanIn Functional Exercise Prescription, Eyal Lederman presents a revolutionary new approach for exercise prescription that uses the individual's own movement repertoire. The book demonstrates how daily activities (the life gym) can be amplified to provide the necessary movement challenges to support movement rehabilitation in many musculoskeletal and pain conditions. Hence, all activities can become remedial without the need to prescribe unfamiliar exercise; in other words, 'how to exercise without exercise' or 'how to rehabilitate without exercise'.People recover from most musculoskeletal and pain conditions through three key processes: repair, adaptation, and alleviation of symptoms. The author explains how to identify the individual's recovery process and how to select the appropriate daily or sporting activities, and, how they can be modified to support recovery.Functional Exercise Prescription is a dramatic departure from the traditional strength and conditioning models that have been used for rehabilitation. The book explores the limitation of these models and explains how they can be replaced by functional daily activities ('functioncise'). It provides the practitioner with practical tools to construct a tailor-made plan for each individual to help expedite and optimize their recovery. Most rehabilitation can be constructed from a small familiar set of daily or sports activities.All human physical activity is exercise. Life is your gym.
Functional Kinetics: Observing, Analyzing, and Teaching Human Movement
by Susanne Klein-VogelbachSusanne Klein-Vogelbach's acclaimed textbook describing her concept of functional kinetics!The well-known physiotherapist presents her theory concerning the systematic observation and analysis of human movement. The purpose of functional kinetics is to improve observation, analysis and instruction of human movement. The physiotherapist must be able to analyse movement in order to find and define the functional problem. She or he must be able to effect the required change in movement, whether through manipulation, instructing the patient how to move or both.The ideas outlined in this book are basic to physical therapy and rehabilitation and should be familiar to every active therapist.

Fundamental Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise
by James WatkinsFundamental Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise is an engaging and comprehensive introductory textbook that explains biomechanical concepts from first principles, showing clearly how the science relates to real sport and exercise situations. The book is divided into two parts. The first provides a clear and detailed introduction to the structure and function of the human musculoskeletal system and its structural adaptations, essential for a thorough understanding of human movement. The second part focuses on the biomechanics of movement, describing the forces that act on the human body and the effects of those forces on the movement of the body. Every chapter includes numerous applied examples from sport and exercise, helping the student to understand how mechanical concepts describe both simple and complex movements, from running and jumping to pole-vaulting or kicking a football. In addition, innovative worksheets for field and laboratory work are included that contain clear objectives, a description of method, data recording sheets, plus a set of exemplary data and worked analysis. Alongside these useful features are definitions of key terms plus review questions to aid student learning, with detailed solutions provided for all numerical questions. No other textbook offers such a clear, easy-to-understand introduction to the fundamentals of biomechanics. This is an essential textbook for any biomechanics course taken as part of degree programme in sport and exercise science, kinesiology, physical therapy, sports coaching or athletic training.

Funktionelle Anatomie: Grundlagen sportlicher Leistung und Bewegung
by H.-J. Appell C. Stang-Voss"Was man nicht weiß, das eben brauchte man, und was man weiß, kann man nicht brauchen. " Dieses Wort aus Goethes "Faust" spiegelt ange sichts des heterogenen Schrifttums zu den anatomischen Grundlagen des Sports wohl treffend die Lage wider, in der sich Lehrende und Ler nende in diesem Bereich befinden. Die hauptsächlich für Mediziner ver faßten Lehrbücher der Anatomie behandeln das Fach überwiegend nach deskriptiven und topographischen Gesichtspunkten, andere "Sportanatomien" scheinen gelegentlich im Bestreben nach Praxisnähe allzu populärwissenschaftlich verlaßt. Dies war Anlaß genug, den außerordentlich umfangreichen Stoff der Anatomie des Bewegungs apparates, des Nervensystems (soweit für die Motorik wichtig) und der Organsysteme unter funktionellen Gesichtspunkten für den Sport dar zustellen. Die gewählte Vorgehensweise beschränkt sich nicht nur auf das "Wie", sondern versucht - wo möglich und nötig -, auch das "Warum" zu erläutern. Notwendigerweise mußten Kompromisse zwi schen Vollständigkeit und Übersichtlichkeit gemacht werden. So wur den die histologischen Grundlagen nur für die Gewebe des aktiven und passiven Bewegungsapparates ausführlicher behandelt und in den ande ren Kapiteln, sofern zum Verständnis der Funktion erforderlich, nur kurz umrissen. Die Darstellung des Zentralnervensystems orientierte sich eng an der Motorik, wobei die Abhandlung anatomischer Einzel heiten hinter den physiologischen Funktionszusammenhängen zurück stehen mußte. Auch das Kapitel über die Organsysteme konnte nur jene berücksichtigen, die für weiterführende Studien zur Anpassung des Organismus an Leistung innerhalb der Sportmedizin von Bedeutung sind. Die Beantwortung der Fragen nach biochemischen und komplexen physiologischen Prozessen muß den Lehrbüchern jener Disziplinen vor behalten bleiben.
