Some promises to be fulfilled, some questions to be answered.
\nOne of the questions I got is related to the determination of muscle fibre composition by the simple Bosco jump test. The algorithms for this were unfortunately not published in articles or journals, but included as an integrated part in the software of the MuscleLab system that I worked with throughout the years. The untimely passing away of Carmelo Bosco probably also prevented him for publishing it, since he was an innovative and productive researcher.\u00a0\u00a0 I am not aware about any other system having this feature and I doubt there every will be considering the amount of biopsies to be taken and jump tests to be done.<\/p>\n
This week, for the purpose of insurance, I had to take pictures of all my books, (at least the ones that are in my\u00a0 in the office, since my house became too small to contain all of them). That gave me a chance to finally make the list of favourites below.
\nSince I promised people to give a list of my favourite and easy-to-read books about different subjects.
\nHere we go: some of the them I have mentioned already in former posts. Oops, I see there are quite a few books in German language, but before 40 years of age it easy to learn a second language, so hurry up. I did not check the availability of the older books, nor if there are any new editions.<\/p>\n
