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. Human Kinetics DVDs are coded for universal playback
and can be played in all regions of the world.
