La corsa è un fantastico allenamento cardiovascolare che inonda il corpo di endorfine energizzanti e, per la sua natura ritmica e ripetitiva, è considerata da molti un antistress naturale. Il risvolto negativo della ripetitività del movimento sta nel fatto che alcuni gruppi muscolari vengono sovraccaricati e altri trascurati, dinamica che può provocare squilibri muscolari e infortuni. "Yoga per la corsa" mira a compensare tali squilibri attraverso posizioni yoga che permettono di distendere e allungare i punti irrigiditi dalla corsa in modo rapido e mirato. Mettete in pratica queste tecniche singolarmente o come parte di una sequenza dinamica per diventare corridori più forti e più resistenti agli infortuni. Imparate a respirare in modo più profondo ed efficace per riuscire ad allenarvi più a lungo. Ottenete il controllo della mente per combattere le distrazioni negative in gara o durante l'allenamento. "Yoga per la corsa" è una risorsa pratica e funzionale, dedicata a chi vuole prendersi cura di sé per dare il massimo nella corsa e nella vita. Le posizioni di allungamento e rafforzamento, così come le tecniche di respirazione e di recupero, sono presentate con lo stile e il rigore propri dei manuali di allenamento, prestando particolare attenzione all'impatto diretto che esse hanno sulla performance atletica.

This proposed new major reference brings together available data on approximately 200 of the most commonly used herbal medicines in highly structured, rigorously scientific monographs. Although our texts on herbal medicines and drug interactions include the major well-known interactions, this text is able to treat the subject in considerably more detail.

The combined knowledge, experience, and input of all clinicians and researchers in the field will best serve that purpose. Cardiovascular Computed Tomography is the first textbook to cover the heart, cardiovascular and peripheral vascular systems and will provide the reader with the necessary background information to perform cardiac CT on symptomatic patients and asymptomatic individuals for the accurate assessment of underlying disease.
