Great athletes make difficult moves look effortless with a
combination of skill, strength, and balance. Traditional
conditioning builds a fitness base, but modern sports training
takes into account athletic movement patterns. The "Athletic Body
in Balance" book and DVD first of its kind to show you how to train
for smooth, fluid movement and prevent muscle imbalances, mobility
restrictions, stability problems, and injuries.
Physical therapist and sports conditioning expert Gray Cook has
proven the effectiveness of his approach through the performances
of athletes in the NFL, NBA, NHL, WNBA, and Reebok(R) University's
sports training system. Whereas other books concentrate on
maximizing your strengths, the "Athletic Body in Balance" book
focuses on exposing and overcoming your weaknesses to form a
foundation for long-term training gains. Cook will help you
identify functional weaknesses; correct imbalances; explore your
potential; and refine sport-specific movement skills such as
jumping, kicking, cutting, and turning. You will see where
conditioning is breaking down and how to get your body back on
track.
The "Athletic Body in Balance DVD" then covers five assessment
tests to help you find the imbalances in movement patterns, sample
corrective exercises to improve mobility and stability, and ways to
integrate these exercises into a regular training program. The
tests include
-deep squat--assessing the mobility and stability of the hips,
knees, and ankles
-hurdle steps--evaluating bilateral mobility and stability of
the hips, knees, and ankles
-in-line lunge--determining hip mobility and stability,
quadriceps flexibility, and ankle and knee stability on both sides
of the body
-straight leg raise--gauging hamstring flexibility
-seated rotation--measuring uppertrunk stability during a
combined upper- and lower-body movement
Move more efficiently and achieve real gains in performance with
the "Athletic Body in Balance" book and DVD.
