Krafttraining mit Seilzug- und Fitnessgeräten

This book addresses the possibilities of specialized training using cable machines (technique) and fitness equipment (strength building). Integrative neuromuscular coordination is an important factor in transferring skills to athletic performance. Training in muscle chains significantly enhances techniques that correspond to neuromuscular patterns. The volume is divided into a large theoretical section and three practical parts. The theoretical part deals with training science, functional biomechanical relationships of the musculoskeletal system, and training programs. Recovery and age structure are also taken into account. The practical chapters are divided into fundamental strength training exercises using cable machines, fitness equipment, and small weights. Exercises targeting joint instabilities are also included. Each chapter also considers the corresponding stretching techniques. The sports-specific section presents technique-related cable and strength exercises for athletics, swimming, basketball, soccer, handball, tennis, squash, and badminton.
