Isometrisches Krafttraining

Isometric training is an ancient method that has unfortunately fallen into obscurity, yet it can significantly improve strength and muscular endurance. This type of training is static, meaning it involves no movement. The unique aspect of isometric training is that it requires no special equipment. In addition to the resistance provided by one's own body, walls, tables, or door frames can also be used for training. A sequence of just a few minutes of exercises is sufficient to strengthen the muscles. This allows for training anytime and anywhere, all while being gentle on the joints, as isometric exercises only exert minimal strain on them.

The book is aimed at all athletes looking to enhance their strength or muscular endurance, as well as individuals with limited time who still want to maintain their fitness level. The isometric method is very time-efficient and has proven effective over many years, notably endorsed by martial arts legend Bruce Lee.

In addition to a clear explanation of the method with its various roots and applications in Kung Fu, yoga, and strength training, readers will find numerous exercises for every muscle group, illustrated and accompanied by valuable tips. The exercises are diverse, ranging from very simple ones that even those who are not keen on sports can do to strengthen themselves, to more challenging ones that are particularly interesting for calisthenics enthusiasts. Training plans for various sports or even for the office perfectly complement the book.
