Engagement and relevancy are central concerns for any science educator, especially in middle school classrooms. Teachers need a myriad of resources to help them make connections between scientific concepts and the student interests and experience. The proposed book provides an approach to physical science instruction in the middle grades that is interesting and inviting to students, covering classroom instruction and pedagogical applications, as well as practical classroom activities that integrate author-created action sports videos. Bill Robertson has produced and self-distributed a 4-part video series and accompanying curriculum guide that focuses on concepts in physical science that integrate action sports. Bill acts as both the narrator and a performer in the series, which also includes top extreme athletes in BMX and skateboarding. These athletes perform high ...

This technically oriented book on medicine as applied to extreme sports offers broad coverage of the field extending well beyond the usual focus on major trauma and acute injuries. In addition to the injuries and diseases associated with individual extreme sports, this book also addresses the topics of psychology, dermatology, ophthalmology, infectious diseases, physiology, nutrition, training, injury prevention strategies, rehabilitation, doping, treatment in hostile environments, and legal aspects. Innovative and less frequently considered topics are also discussed, such as recent advances in protective equipment and materials, the effects of exposure on whole-body vibration, and cold exposure risk management. More than 60 of the most authoritative experts from across the world have contributed to this book, drawing on their personal experiences and including practical examples whenever relevant. Both subject matter and illustrations have been selected with the utmost care, the latter including photographs of world-class athletes.The book’s multidisciplinary approach to the subject ensures that it will be relevant to a wide readership.

Taking us on an ethnographic journey into the spatially transgressive practice of parkour and freerunning, Parkour, Deviance and Leisure in the Late-Capitalist City: An Ethnography attempts to explain and untangle some of the contradictions that surround this popular lifestyle sport and its exclusion from our hyper-regulated cities. While the existing criminological wisdom suggests that these practices are a form of politicised resistance, this book positions parkour and freerunning as hyper-conformist to the underlying values of consumer capitalism and explains how late-capitalism has created a contradiction for itself in which it must stoke desire for these lifestyle practices whilst also excluding their free practice from central urban spaces. Drawing on the emergent deviant leisure perspective, this book takes us into the life-worlds of young people who are attempting to navigate the challenges and anxieties of early adulthood. For the young people in this study, consumer capitalism's commodification of rebellious iconography offered unique identities of 'cool individualism' and opportunities for flexibilised employment; while the post-industrial 'creative city' attempted to harness parkour's practice, prohibitively if necessary, into approved spatial contexts under the buzzwords of 'culture' and 'creativity'. This book offers a vital contribution to the criminological literature on spatial transgression, and in doing so, engages in a critical reappraisal of the evolution of the relationships between work, leisure, identity and urban space in consumer capitalism.

Défier la gravité, mettre sa résistance à l'épreuve, recourir à des produits dopants, se frotter à des environnements hostiles ou à des adversaires violents : autant de formes diversifiées d'un d'engagement corporel radical, perceptible à travers certaines pratiques sportives contemporaines. Comment expliquer ces comportements ? Que signifient-ils pour leurs adeptes ? Quand dépasse-t-on le seuil du socialement acceptable ? Enfin, quels sont les modes de régulation mis en œuvre ? Le présent ouvrage, première synthèse du genre sur le sujet, apporte des éléments de réponse à ces questions, à travers une revue des connaissances sociologiques disponibles sur l'engagement dans des modalités risquées de pratique sportive, et sur la manière dont les dangers sont produits, identifiés et collectivement pris en charge. De nombreuses études de terrain viennent illustrer les perspectives théoriques présentées, concernant des pratiques aussi variées que les sports de glisse et de combat, en passant par les sports collectifs, le cyclisme ou encore la fréquentation de la montagne. La question du dopage figure aussi en bonne place parmi les sujets développés. L'ouvrage s'adresse aux étudiants comme aux enseignants-chercheurs des filières Sociologie et STAPS qui disposeront d'un accès facilité et thématique à l'abondante littérature traitant des risques sportifs. Les adeptes de "sports à risque", institutionnels, gestionnaires de sites de pratique et simples curieux y trouveront également des éléments de compréhension d'un phénomène qui suscite un intérêt croissant
