Jumpmetrics
Author: Alan Tyson
"My success on the court comes from my strong vertical and lateral abilities. Tyson and Cook will show you how to identify and correct any weaknesses you have in your jumping and cutting skills. Jumpmetrics will make you more explosive and quicker, too!" Andrea Stinson, Three time WNBA All Star Charlotte Sting
Improve your jump performance, power, and technique! Jumpmetrics is the complete program that will give you an edge in any sport involving quick first steps, cuts, and especially jumps.
Jumpmetrics contains a series of functional tests that will measure your ability to move and react and help you determine the best starting point for your training in the programs presented. The detailed programs are broken into three levels. At each level, you'll find 12 to 16 week programs to boost you to new heights of performance.
By combining traditional strength and plyometric exercises with postural, balance, and stabilization training, Jumpmetrics conditions not only the prime movers but also the stabilizing muscles and antagonists helping you move more efficiently while reducing your risk of knee injury. You'll also learn about the proper joint position during highspeed, loaded movements so that you develop better body control.
Improve your first step explosion, leaping ability, and overall quickness with the expert advice in Jumpmetrics and unleash your body's power!

Dietary Reference Intakes for Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Vitamin D, and Fluoride
Author: Institute of Medicin
Since 1941, with the publication of the first edition of Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs), the Food and Nutrition Board has been recognized as one of the most authoritative sources of information on quantitative recommendations for nutrient intakes for healthy people.. "This volume of Dietary Reference Intakes includes calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin D, and fluoride.. "For each nutrient evaluated, the book presents what is known about how the nutrient functions in the human body, what the best method is to determine its requirement, which factors (caffeine or exercise, for example) may affect how it works, and how the nutrient may be related to chronic disease or developmental abnormalities.. "Based on analysis of nutrient metabolism in humans and data on intakes in U.S. and Canadian populations, recommended intakes for each age group - from the first days of life through childhood, sexual maturity, midlife, and the later years - are proposed. The book also identifies a new reference intake, the UL (Tolerable Upper Intake Level), which if consumed consistently, may result in adverse effects.
