Book excerpt: The biggest story in track and field this past decade has been the astounding breakthrough of the African runners in international competition. Here is the most complete and incisive book yet published. Here is the most complete and incisive book yet published on this phenomenal success story. What are the African runners really lik and how do they approach competition. It altitude training is the secret behind the success of the African runners (as so many believe), how is it that of all the people in the world who live at altitude, the only high altitude dwellers who collectively have made any mark in the track world are runners from the East African tableland? what explains the incredible success story of Kenya’s Katenjin and Kisii tribes, who have accounted fro all 45 of Kenya’s Olympic and Commonwealth Games medals since ‘63 (Kenya has more than 30 tribes in all). Can the Kalenjin and Kissii be a “race” of super-runners genetically? Is ther any scientific evidence to support the widely-held theory that athletes living at high altitudes have a natural physiological advantage over sea-level natives in the endurance running events? These and a long list of other subjects are covered in this book by such writers s Philip Ndoo (himself one of Kenya’s finest runners), John Manners, Bob Hancock (a coach on the ‘72 Olympic team), Dr. Jack Daniels, Geoff Fenwick, Dave Prokop and David Lewis (Ben Jipcho’s former coach). A special bonus for readers will be Tom Sturak’s in-depth story on Filbert Bayi - undoubtedly the most complete story yet written on the Tanzanian superstar. Illustrated with numerous action photographs. The African Running Revolution is a book no track fan should miss.

Book Synopsis East African Running by : Yannis Pitsiladis
Download or read book East African Running written by Yannis Pitsiladis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-01-24 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes East African middle and long distance runners the best in the world? How should contemporary academia approach this question? The success of East African distance runners has generated a plethora of studies but much of the 'evidence' presented to support hypotheses is anecdotal, arguments being led by non-academics who use popular media as their medium rather than relying on scientific publications. This has resulted in many stereotypical arguments being advocated. Within the academic community, research has also been restricted by its isolation within either the natural science or social science communities. East African Running: Towards a Cross Disciplinary Perspective, presents a rare collaboration between researchers from the sports sciences and social sciences to explore the questions raised by the phenomena of East African success on the track. The text includes: psycho-social and economic explanations physiological and genetic explanations attempts to provide unified theories bringing together ideas from natural and social sciences Includes contributions from John Bale, Jim Denison, Timothy D. Noakes and Craig Sharp.

Book excerpt: 1997 British Society of Sports History - Lord Aberdare Literary Prize for Sports History The record-breaking achievements of Kenyan athletes have caught the imagination of the world of sport. How significant really is Kenya in the world of sports? This book, the first to look in detail at the evolution and significance of a single sport in an African country, seeks to answer these and many other questions. Kenyan Running blends history, geography, sociology and anthropology in its quest to describe the emergence of Kenyan athletics from its pre-colonial traditions to its position in the modern world of globalized sport. The authors show the qualities of stamina and long distance running were recognized by early twentieth century travellers in east Africa and how modern running was imposed by colonial administrators and school teachers as a means of social control to replace the indigenous fold traditions.

A 30 minute jog can log more than 5,000 foot strikes; its because of this volume of movement that efficient

Download or read book The Black Jacobins written by C.L.R. James and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2023-08-22 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful and impassioned historical account of the largest successful revolt by enslaved people in history: the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1803 “One of the seminal texts about the history of slavery and abolition.... Provocative and empowering.” —The New York Times Book Review The Black Jacobins, by Trinidadian historian C. L. R. James, was the first major analysis of the uprising that began in the wake of the storming of the Bastille in France and became the model for liberation movements from Africa to Cuba. It is the story of the French colony of San Domingo, a place where the brutality of plantation owners toward enslaved people was horrifyingly severe. And it is the story of a charismatic and barely literate enslaved person named Toussaint L’Ouverture, who successfully led the Black people of San Domingo against successive invasions by overwhelming French, Spanish, and English forces—and in the process helped form the first independent post-colonial nation in the Caribbean. With a new introduction (2023) by Professor David Scott.
Book Synopsis Catch Me If You Can by : Filbert Bayi
Download or read book Catch Me If You Can written by Filbert Bayi and published by Meyer & Meyer Sport. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Half a century ago, Filbert Bayi revolutionized how the middle-distance races were run. During that heyday of athletics competition, before pacers were hired to take the lead, the unheralded Tanzanian served as his own rabbit. The innovative Bayi set a blistering pace that dared formidable challengers from around the globe to 'catch me if you can.' After a singular career that included two world records and Olympic and Commonwealth Games medals, Bayi took the same assertive approach into post-racing life as an educator and sports administrator. He still embodies excellence in a school and foundation that bear his name as he strives to improve his country and community. In telling his long-awaited story, Bayi recounts hardships as well as enduring friendships with great rivals like John Walker. Over nearly 70 years, his experiences consistently reflect the three values he treasures most — sacrifice, commitment and confidence — setting an unforgettable example for anyone, anywhere, to follow.

Book Synopsis A Motorcycle on Hell Run by : Seth M. Markle
Download or read book A Motorcycle on Hell Run written by Seth M. Markle and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1964 and 1974 Tanzania came to be regarded as a model nation and a leading frontline state in the struggle for African liberation on the continent and beyond. During this time, a number of African American and Caribbean nationalists, leftists, and pan-Africanists traveled to and settled in Tanzania to join the country that many believed to be leading Africa’s liberation struggle. This historical study examines the political landscape of that crucial moment when African American, Caribbean, and Tanzanian histories overlapped, shedding light on the challenges of creating a new nation and the nature of African American and Caribbean participation in Tanzania’s nationalist project. In examining the pragmatic partnerships and exchanges between socialist Tanzania and activists and organizations associated with the Black Power movements in the United States and the Caribbean, this study argues that the Tanzanian one-party government actively engaged with the diaspora and sought to utilize its political, cultural, labor, and intellectual capital to further its national building agenda, but on its own terms, creating tension within the pan-Africanism movement. An excellent resource for academics and nonacademics alike, this work is the first of its kind, revealing the significance of the radical political and social movements of Tanzania and what it means for us today.
