TL;DR: This book discusses health and Fitness in Prehistory, including Inferences from the current Lifestyle of Indigenous Populations and the Post-Modern Era: Chronic Disease and the Onslaught upon a Sedentary Lifestyle.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the accuracy of thermometric estimates of heat storage can be improved by modifying the weighting factors according to environment, acclimation, and type of clothing.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the Yo- Yo test score showed a sufficient correlation with other potential means of assessing handball players, and that intra-individual changes of Yo-Yo IR1 score could provide a useful composite index of the response to training or rehabilitation, although correlations lack sufficient precision in players’ selection.

TL;DR: Comparisons of anthropometric and physiological data for the original sample of 58 boys and 52 girls with results for the 94 boys and 111 girls now aged 9-19 years show that the secular trend to an increase of stature is currently halted.

TL;DR: It is concluded that adding biweekly elastic band training to a standard conditioning regimen yields small gains in measures that likely have an important influence on handball performance, particularly the ability to sprint, change direction, and make repeated changes of direction.
