Der Muskel im Sport

The Muscle in Sports presents all important muscles for the first time in this format. The book is divided into four main sections; each section explores the musculature in a different context. The anatomical section provides a detailed overview of all important muscles through detailed graphics. Origin, insertion, course, and function are clearly presented and thoroughly described. The physiological section explains the functioning of the muscular systems. The third section focuses on training theory aspects, taking into account anatomical and physiological relationships. From this, practical concepts for all types of muscle training are developed. The fourth section addresses preventive and rehabilitative aspects: the effects of healthy and damaged musculature on the overall organism, treatment methods, and the significance of musculature for sports and training.
