      Strength and Conditioning for Rowing

      The field of strength and conditioning has grown exponentially over the last two decades, making both collaboration with others and recognition of the impact S&C coaches can have beyond the weight room more important than ever before. This book purposefully begins by sharing professional insights from both the individuals S&C coaches work with - the event coaches - and those individuals S&C coaches work for - the athletes - to examine how collaboration towards agreed, shared and understood performance goals works in practice. The latter chapters focus on applying S&C principles within rowing populations, which are easily transferred to any athlete. This a 'performance backwards' approach to planning; exploring an adaptation approach to programming; common injuries across rowing populations; exercise selection, including specific trunk training assessment and programming; transfer of training to rowing performance, and finally, understanding the needs of Paralympic Rowers.

      Locke and the Legislative Point of View

      Toleration, Contested Principles, and the Law

      • 224 pages

      The book delves into the complexities of moral principles guiding political action, particularly addressing the "toleration paradox." Alex Tuckness highlights John Locke's insights, specifically his "legislative point of view," which contrasts with the traditional focus on consent. By examining Locke's later writings on religious toleration, Tuckness argues for a political approach rooted in principles that a reasonable legislator would support, emphasizing the need to avoid self-defeating measures in governance.
