Download or read book Strength and Conditioning for Rugby Union written by Joel Brannigan and published by Crowood. This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rugby Union as a sport has seen continual evolution over the years, and never more so than since the game officially became professional in 1995. While on the pitch tactics have seen more formalized approaches to skill acquisition, it is off the pitch where the biggest changes have occurred and no area has developed more than strength and conditioning. Players have gone from traditionally training for 'fitness' as an add-on to their rugby training to seeking out structured athletic training interventions. Furthermore, with modern rugby players being physically bigger and faster, the need to ensure that they are more robust and free from injury has led to the demand for a more scientific approach to the prescription of strength and conditioning. In Strength and Conditioning for Rugby Union, ex-international player Joel Brannigan presents the underpinning science of strength and conditioning in rugby. Using the fundamental principles of training, he details a structure of assessing rugby players that in turn will allow appropriate training inverventions to be planned out and, most importantly, coached to a wide range of rugby playing levels. Aimed at coaches and players at all levels of the game, sport science support staff, students and academics and fully illustrated with 210 colour images and diagrams.

Download or read book Foundations of Combinatory Logic written by Haskell Curry and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-19 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Curry's PhD dissertation Introduction to Combinatory Logic, represents a first major work on a new subject. Curry's interest in the subject started when he noticed the complicated form of substitution in Principia Mathematica and set about trying to find a simpler form of this rule. This led him by 1926 to some of the combinators. In 1928 Curry went to G\"ottingen and completed his dissertation in 1929 under the direction of David Hilbert. This book is a translation of the dissertation. Curry's dissertation was the first publication to give a complete formal development of combinatory logic as a formal system in which the terms are built up from variables and a number of constants (combinators including B, C and K) by means of application. The proof of the consistency of the system faced the major difficulty that the only reduction relation Curry had was what we now call weak reduction. This made it impossible to prove the Church-Rosser Theorem, which is now the standard way one proves the consistency of systems of this kind. Instead, Curry was looking at sequences based on what we now call weak contractions with strings of variables added on the right. After his dissertation, Curry developed further ground-breaking ideas that continue to be very influential. These include, functionality (which became the basis of what we now call type assignment), the correspondence between types and implication formulas (the beginning of the idea of "propositions as types") and generalised functionality (a form of dependent types in modern type systems). Curry's ideas continue to influence developments in mathematics, logic and computation. We hope that making his original thesis available in English will help make his ideas clearer. We have made use of all information we could find by Curry, mostly from marginal notes in his copy of the dissertation, indicating corrections to the original German.

Download or read book Making the Rugby World written by Timothy John Lindsay Chandler and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the expansion of rugby from its imperial and amateur upper-class white male core into other contexts throughout the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The development of rugby in the racially divided communities of the setter empire and how this was viewed are explored initially. Then the editors turn to four case studies of rugby's expansion beyond the bounds of the British Empire (France, Italy, Japan and the USA). The role of women in rugby is examined and the subsequent development of women's rugby as one of the fastest growing sports for women in Europe, North America and Australasia in the 1980s and 1990s. The final section analyses the impact of commercialisation, professionalisation and media on rugby and the impact on the historic rugby culture linked to an ethos of amateurism.
