I don’t get paid to write these reviews, nor do I keep the units sent to me – they all go back after a period of time ranging between 30 and 60 days (in this case, it goes back next week). Finally, at the end of the day I’m an athlete just like you, I want the same things out of the equipment I buy. Of course, at the end of the day – some are struggling with being overweight. Even have to focus on weight to ensure they are at the top of their game. For runners, it’s often noted that each pound is 2 seconds per mile while running for example (10 pounds shaved off would mean 9 minutes in a marathon).Īnd cyclists always struggle to find the perfect balance between weight and muscle mass. From a race performance standpoint, weight is hands down one of the biggest factors of speed. It’s just that some of the features most closely fit into tools and products that many runners or triathletes already have. Tanita's Healthy Edge Software is offered at no cost to you to Measure, Analyze, and Graph your results from the BC-1000 Radio Wireless Scale and other. It’s really a product for anyone trying to lose weight (or maintain/gain weight). Now, this isn’t just a product for serious athletes. I normally weigh myself every morning anyways, so this would be easy. And we all know what happens during Christmas So what better time to test out a scale than post-holiday cookies, in January? So back before Christmas I pinged the fine folks from Tanita and they got me all hooked up with a loaner scale. In this first chapter a very short inroduction of each part is presented based on the summaries of the papers.Over the past few months I’d been receiving a number of e-mails and comments from ya’ll as to what I thought of the scale and its touted integration with Garmin devices. Part III deals with health and fitness issues. Part II includes papers that relate to sport marketing, sponsorship and sport events. The present collection of papers is organized in three parts. A notable example is the paper on the John Paul II’s views on femininity and sport. The rest of the papers, which I found them extremely useful in enhancing my knowledge of sports, are useful for all of those that have a thirstiness for encyclopedia knowledge. All studies look at sport and health activity from various disciplines and most studies are empirical, using simple descriptive and in some cases more advanced statistical analysis to test various, sports related, hypotheses. Even though the papers might look that come from everywhere in the sports and fitness studies, they share, however, a common methodology. The title of the book, amalgam, explains, to a great extent, the common denominator that unifies all papers presented in this collection. This book is useful for all those, experts and non-experts, that have an interest in sports as an economic and health activity. The first was organized in collaboration with the Panhellenic Association of Sports Economistes & Managers and the Greek Scientific Journal Oikonomia & Athlitismos.
Both conferences took place in Marathon and Athens Greece on June 29th & 30th 2006.
All papers come from the two sports conferences that were organized in 2006: the 6th International Conference on Sports: Economic, Management & Marketing Aspects and the 2nd International Conference on Physical Education, Coaching & Health Fitness. This volume includes selected sports related papers that were presented at ATINER’s conferences in 2006.
