The term "functional training" has been associated with a fair
amount of controversy ever since it became part of the fitness
training vernacular more than a decade ago. In Functional Training
Anatomy, noted strength and conditioning specialists Kevin Carr and
Mary Kate Feit cut through the clutter and misconceptions about
functional training and cover all aspects of how to build a
purposeful, effective, and efficient program that provides the
strength, stability, and mobility you need to support your body in
life and in sports. Beginning with a clear definition of what
functional training entails, you will learn about the importance of
mobility training and its impact on movement quality, performance,
and injury reduction. Use the warm-up activities to prepare for
high-intensity activities. Use the medicine ball and plyometric
exercises to learn to produce and absorb force. Develop power with
Olympic lifts, kettlebell swings, and jumping exercises. Improve
strength in the upper body, lower body, and core with hip-dominant,
knee-dominant, pushing, pulling, and core exercises. See the inner
workings of each of the exercises with superb full-color
illustrations that show the primary and secondary muscles and
connective tissue being used. The detailed instructions for these
multiplanar and unilateral exercises ensure you execute each one
correctly and safely. The Functional Focus element shows how the
exercises translate to specific activities, whether that be an
explosive athletic move or simply moving a box. Functional Training
Anatomy incorporates traditional and nontraditional exercises and
mobility drills that will help you increase functional strength and
reduce injury so your body is prepared to support the demands of
athletic performance and daily living. CE exam available! For
certified professionals, a companion continuing education exam can
be completed after reading this book. The Functional Training
Anatomy Online CE Exam may be purchased separately or as part of
the Functional Training Anatomy With CE Exam package that includes
both the book and the exam.
