"Forever Young?"
The demographic change presents new, primarily financial challenges for the state, politics, and the economy (level of power and domination relations). Aging (doing age) should be understood as a social construct that primarily offers self-empowerment opportunities for those who can follow the trend of age activation through sports/fitness due to higher educational qualifications and greater financial resources, and who maintain a healthy lifestyle. The goal of this project was to analyze fitness studio advertising from an intersectional and inequality-reflective perspective based on the structural categories of body/aging, gender, and class. It aimed to interview trainers with a focus on older active individuals (representation level) and to take a differentiated look at the self-techniques of older women active in fitness studios gathered through a qualitative interview study (subject level). On one hand, working on the body can strengthen one's own social positioning; on the other hand, devaluing others who do not follow the trend can give rise to a new form of 'lookism.'

A Comparison of the US Air Force Fitness Test and Sister Services' Combat-Oriented Fitness Tests
This research explores how the United States Air Force Physical Fitness Test (AFPFT) events compare to sister-services' physical fitness test events with respect to their predictability of combat capability.

Air Force Fitness Program
This paper reviews two case studies as examples to successfully implement the mandatory Air Force Physical Fitness Program (AFPT) in a 24-hour operational unit.

However, AF squadrons appear to be focused on "fit to test" versus providing airman opportunities to change their lifestyles.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Physical Fitness in the United States Air Force
The USAF implemented significant changes to its physical fitness program in 2004 upon the direction from General Jumper, AF Chief of Staff. Gen Jumper wanted to improve the program to be more compatible with the demands of being an expeditionary force. He made it clear that in addition to improving overall fitness levels, he wanted to change the AF's culture to include fitness as a way of life and make fitness part of every Airman's job requirement. This research project set out to explore whether or not the AF has reached its goals with the new fitness program and if not, make recommendations to improve. Information for this project came from many sources: personal interviews, informal polls, articles in numerous periodicals, unpublished papers and briefings used to obtain program approval, regulations from military branches and memorandums from Gen Jumper. Research showed that fitness levels improved from 2004 to 2005 and many units have made fitness part of their culture. But senior leadership will have to decide if the AF has done enough or if we need to continue to emphasize fitness activities. It appears that the AF's senior leadership is satisfied with the current condition of the fitness program.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Unprotected the Final Round
After being involved in the fight game for over fifty years, it was the perfect time to write a book number two, aimed at educating young athletes about the dos and don'ts of any sport, whether it's boxing or baseball, particularly when entering the professional ranks. I've witnessed too many professional athletes earn millions of dollars, only to end up completely broke, often before their careers have even come to a close. In today's world of sports and business, it's crucial to be informed about many details that you won't learn in traditional higher education. The industry is filled with individuals seeking to exploit young athletes, particularly in terms of finances and career management; this has been a persistent reality in boxing since the sport's inception. "Unprotected" will provide you with the insights and knowledge needed to navigate your career in a way that safeguards your future and educates you, preventing you from becoming just another athlete who makes headlines for going broke. I wish you all the best as you read this book, and I hope you find success and fulfillment in whatever path you choose in life. -- Alan Santana

Iaido Sword
A comprehensive guide to the Japanese sword art of iaidoThrough the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, Eastern martial arts-from karate to taekwondo to aikido-have grown dramatically in popularity in the West. Perhaps no other school has the solemn intensity of iaido, the powerful Japanese sword art. Iaido trains disciples above all to attain the state of being present.In his now re-released, fully illustrated Iaido Sword, author Richard Babin, M.D. provides an in-depth, practical guide to the legendary art-in particular, its Muso Shinden Ryu school-for novices and experienced martial artists alike. Babin begins with an exploration of iaido's history and lineage, from its founding in feudal Japan by Hayashizaki Jinsuke Shigenobu (1546-1621) and its origins in the sword arts of kenjutsu and iaijutsu to its more recent innovations following the Meiji Restoration. He proceeds to a detailed description of the practice, covering its etiquette and uniforms, materials, techniques and positions, safety concerns, and much else of the art's kata, or form. While the physical practice of martial arts is generally best learned through hands-on practice and the aid of an experienced instructor, Babin's manual provides an essential reference work for practitioners to consult as they develop their practice.As Babin makes clear, iaido's aims are not merely skill with a katana; within the martial art is a philosophy of discipline, self-defense, and courage that renders its training a means to a focused life. This book is also available from Echo Point Books as a hardcover (ISBN 1648374506).

Forging the Triple Crown
Horse racing's Triple Crown, much like the World Series, Indianapolis 500, and the Super Bowl, stands as one of the pinnacle achievements of American sports. Its iconic status emerged from the interweaving of three distinct races held across different states--a feat that reflects decades of human effort and equine prowess. While track operators, racing writers, owners, and trainers all contributed to this evolutionary process, it is the Thoroughbred horses that are the central figures of the event. This book traces the history of the Triple Crown, following the Thoroughbreds from their early days as juveniles and through their three-year-old season, culminating with their later accomplishments as older horses. By examining the challenges faced by each generation of foals, it reveals how the races captured the public's attention and over time morphed into massive events. The intertwined narratives of human contributions and equine accomplishments between 1918 and 1948 illuminate the remarkable evolution of horse racing.
