Inside Youth Sports
Discover what every athlete--and parent-- needs to know about the youth sports industrial complex, from training and injuries to developing bodies and navigating league politics, through the eyes of a father-daughter team that has been in your shoes. Over the last two decades, the youth sports market has quietly risen from a cottage industry to one with a valuation of nearly $40 billion. While the industry thrives on the aspirations of children - and their parents - towards college scholarships, it is well-known that reaching that level is rare. Organized sports benefit individuals and society in a myriad of ways, yet youth athletes and their parents often struggle with the financial, physical, and personal costs provided by well-meaning yet misguided influencers in the space. Inside Youth Sports is an in-depth dive into youth sports, the playing experience, and the science behind the muscles, mechanics, and minds of developing kids. Featuring alternating narratives between Buel D. Rodgers - an international leader in the field of muscle biology - and his daughter, Meilani - an elite youth athlete who competed at the national level in soccer and track - this instructive and insightful guide explores the physiology and psychology of child and adolescent athletes, how youth athletes manage the emotional burden and individual challenges of competition as well as the people, places and market surrounding play. Complex biological processes like puberty, the biology of gender, muscle and exercise physiology as well as rehabilitation myths and mythologies are carefully and tactfully detailed for a broad lay audience. Detailed interviews with legendary coaches Anson Dorrance and Geno Auriemma, the winningest soccer and basketball coaches in NCAA history, offer further strategies for parents and players alike.

The Obesity Solution Formula
This groundbreaking work examines the powerful synergistic effects of three evidence-based interventions-intermittent fasting, low-carbohydrate high-fat diets, and resistance training-on obesity management. Through rigorous experimental design and comprehensive analysis, the research demonstrates how these approaches target different physiological mechanisms to combat the global obesity epidemic.The study tracked obese individuals aged 35-45 years through an 8-week intervention program, measuring numerous health markers. Results revealed that while each intervention independently produced positive outcomes, the combination of all three strategies yielded the most significant improvements across nearly all health parameters. The research provides compelling evidence that integrating timed eating windows, strategic macronutrient manipulation, and systematic resistance exercise creates a comprehensive framework for addressing obesity's complex causes and consequences.This book offers both scientific validation and practical implementation strategies for health professionals, fitness enthusiasts, and individuals struggling with weight management.
