The
Stress of Life
  The
Stress of Life is the landmark book so often quoted by the
I.A.R.T. and other fitness organizations. It is a major contribution
to stress physiology and exercise science and is an indispensable
guide you won't be able to put down. Extremely easy to understand,
this is a must read for those who wish to understand the effects
of how exercise makes inroads into functional and recovery ability.
Chapters include:
- Precursors of the stress concept (what
is stress, the toil of disease, homeostasis: the staying power
of the body)
- The birth of the General Adaptation Syndrome
(G.A.S.)
- Blueprint for the dissection of stress
(the facts, abstracts and definitions, and materials and techniques)
- Dissecting a biological mechanism (interrelations
in the endocrine system, basic mechanisms of stress reactions,
and the essence of the stress response)
- Stress and inflammation (forms, structure,
and purpose of inflammation, and the regulation of inflammation:
relations between L.A.S. and the G.A.S.)
- Synoptic view of the whole stress mechanism
- The nature of adaptation (adaptation is
always a concentration of effort at the site of demand, implications
of the spatial concept of adaptation)
- Diseases of the kidney, the heart, and
the blood vessels
- Inflammatory diseases
- When scientists disagree (on scientific
debate, debates about the stress concept)
- Stress and the relativity of disease
- Unification through the stress concept
(stress and adaptation, stress and growth, stress and specificity)
- The stressors of daily life (occupation,
climate and environment)
- Medical implications of the stress concept
- Psychosomatic implications
- Philosophic implications
