Idrottsmedicin och idrottsskador

En anatomisk resa fylld av råd och tips!

Känslan av lätthet när man tar sig fram i en rasande fart med kroppens kraft. För att inte tala om lyckoruset som sprider sig. Så här kan det kännas när ett träningspass  vare sig det är löpning, cykling, innebandy, padel eller något annat känns som bäst. Värre är det när vi tvingas avbryta passet på grund av överbelastningsskador. Skador som kan hålla i och begränsa oss inte bara i ett par dagar, utan i månader, till och med år, om vi inte behandlar dem rätt. Baksidan av träningen, som många fasar.   

I Skadebibeln går fysioterapeuten Jessika Törnblom Drangert till botten med de vanligaste idrottsskadorna. Hon berättar varför vi ska undvika att träna för länge, för ofta och för hårt. Varför vi ska skynda långsamt med nya träningsformer och-upplägg. Kroppen i synnerhet med åren behöver återhämtning. Men du får också veta varför du inte kan vila dig i form och att din kropp är fantastisk: till och med när du har skadat dig. Häng med på en anatomisk resa från foten upp till nacke och huvud, med skador som hälsporre och stressfraktur, tennisarmbåge och diskbråck. Du kommer att få veta allt om varför dessa uppkommer och hur du blir av med dem. Den senaste vetenskapen varvas med exempel ur verkliga livet och idrottsstjärnors karriärer. Kryddat med effektiva övningar, tips och råd som kommer att hjälpa dig att komma på fötter snabbast möjligt.     

Jessika Törnblom Drangert är legitimerad fysioterapeut med inriktning på idrottsmedicin och har en magisterexamen i medicinsk vetenskap från Karolinska institutet. Hon är utbildad dansare och arbetade på Göteborgsoperan innan hon bestämde sig för att byta bana och specialisera sig inom idrottsmedicin. Hon har varit idrottsmedicinsk expert på Friskispressen och Runner's World och även gett ut romaner i spänningsserien Eldcirkeln. 

"Väl underbyggda goda råd vid akuta lägen förmedlas, liksom enkla till svårare övningar för att underlätta och påskynda en rehabilitering. Skadebibeln är en användbar bok inte bara för idrottslärare och fysioterapeuter och liknande yrkesgrupper. Den kan även fungera bra som självhjälpsbok för alla med träningsambitioner. Betyg 4/5: Mycket bra." Bibliotekstjänst

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 

The only research-based guide for connecting a plant-based diet with peak athletic performance, featuring interviews with professional athletes who've made the switch from meat to plants.

The Plant-Based Athlete by Matt Frazier and Robert Cheeke reveals the incontrovertible proof that the human body does not need meat, eggs, or dairy to be strong. Instead, research shows that a consciously calibrated plant-based diet offers the greatest possible recovery times, cell oxidation, injury prevention, and restorative sleep, and allows athletes to train more effectively, with better results.

However, committing to a plant-based diet as an elite athlete, first-time marathoner, or weekend warrior isn't as simple as swapping vegetables for meat. Even the slightest food adjustments can impact performance. That's why Matt Frazier, founder of No Meat Athlete, and Robert Cheeke, founder of Vegan Bodybuilding, wrote this groundbreaking book, to guide those interested in making this important shift in how to do so with the best, most transformative results.

The Plant-Based Athlete offers readers:

An instant classic and mainstay on health and fitness shelves everywhere, The Plant-Based Athlete is the ultimate invitation for joining the growing community of athletes who use plants to power their workouts and their every day.

Readable. Comprehensive. Up-to-date. The one book to have for day-to-day answers in sports medicine.
