Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy, Second Edition, is
the most comprehensive resource on muscle hypertrophy in the world.
Written by Brad Schoenfeld, PhD, an internationally renowned expert
on muscle hypertrophy, this book is the definitive resource for
strength and conditioning professionals, personal trainers, sport
scientists, researchers, and exercise science instructors who are
seeking information regarding muscle hypertrophy, including the
mechanism of its development, how the body structurally and
hormonally changes when exposed to stress, ways to most effectively
design training programs, and nutritional guidelines for eliciting
hypertrophic changes. This new edition offers more than 1,000
references and applied guidelines. Two all-new chapters deliver
practical content on the measurement of muscle hypertrophy and
advanced training practices. Readers will learn various methods by
which hypertrophy is measured, including site-specific measures
(circumference measures, MRI, CT, and ultrasound), indirect
measures (underwater weighing, DXA, BIA, ADP, and skinfolds), and
histological measures (biopsy), as well as the strengths and
limitations of each modality. The new edition also provides
guidance for achieving greater training volumes with training
practices that maximize the individual’s genetic potential to
gain muscle. No other resource offers a comparable amount of
content solely focused on the science of muscle hypertrophy and its
application to designing training programs. The full-color book
offers several features to make the content accessible to readers:
Research Findings sidebars highlight the aspects of muscle
hypertrophy currently being examined to encourage readers to
re-evaluate their knowledge and ensure their training practices are
up to date. Practical Applications sidebars outline how to apply
the research conclusions for maximal hypertrophic development.
Comprehensive subject and author indexes optimize the book’s use
as a reference tool. Although muscle hypertrophy can be attained
through a range of training programs, this book allows readers to
understand and apply the specific responses and mechanisms that
promote optimal muscle hypertrophy. It explores how genetic
background, age, sex, and other factors have been shown to mediate
the hypertrophic response to exercise, affecting both the rate and
the total gain in lean muscle mass. Sample programs show how to
design a three- or four-day-per-week undulating periodized program
and a modified linear periodized program for maximizing muscular
development. Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy is an
invaluable resource for those seeking to maximize hypertrophic
gains for themselves or their athletes or clients and for those
searching for the most comprehensive and authoritative research in
the field. Earn continuing education credits/units! A continuing
education course and exam that uses this book is also available. It
may be purchased separately or as part of a package that includes
all the course materials and exam.
