In summary, understanding exercise anatomy is crucial for optimizing workouts and achieving fitness goals. It allows individuals to target specific muscle groups, prevent injuries, customize workouts, and enhance the mind-muscle connection. Add weight in approximately 10% increments and person attempts a single rep each time, resting for at least one to two minutes in between each attempt. It gives to reader a Visual and Anatomy example of what part of body the selected exercise works . I think is a great option to anyone how is interest in how the body functions and what those excerise are good for a group of muscle.En dat is ook het uitgangspunt voor dit boek.

Anatomy of strength training at a glance: Strengthening areas and muscle names at a glance [Japanese Edition] American Heart Association Journal. Resistance Exercise in Individuals With and Without Cardiovascular Disease. Available from: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/01.cir.101.7.828. [Last accessed: 26-05-2020] Understanding the anatomical structure of muscles and how they function during exercises enhances the mind-muscle connection. This connection refers to the ability to focus on the targeted muscle group during an exercise. By knowing anatomy, individuals can visualize and concentrate on contracting the intended muscles, which may help to get more efficient workouts and better results.One Repetition Maximum (1RM) is defined as the maximal weight an individual can lift for only one repetition with correct technique. The first section - human physiology - introduces you to the wonder that is skeletal muscle and the mechanisms that underpin strength training's demands on the body. It will help you understand how muscles work and grow, and how the resistance work stimulates muscles to develop strength and size, alongside its positive impacts on bones and connective tissue. It also explains how the body powers muscular work and shows you how to calculate your own daily macronutrient requirements. Lastly, you're given an overview of the benefits to the brain, and the crucial role it plays in attitude and mental health.

Progression/Periodization: Overloading should occur at an optimal level and time frame to maximize performance. While 1RM is a very useful tool, it does have limitations. Measuring your 1RM is not simply a matter of grabbing the biggest weight and getting a person to perform a rep. By definition, you will be stressing this muscle to its maximum and placing person at risk of an injury if you don't do it correctly. You need to prepare to do it properly. For e.g. A great educational book to spread your knowledge in the science of exercise, very helpful to build your training plan and make sure every muscle is included. Weight machines – devices that have adjustable seats with handles attached either to weights or hydraulics. Presently, almost 70% of American adults are overfat and at increased risk for chronic diseases and other health problems. Regular endurance exercise is performed by less than 5% of the adult population (USA).

This is a very good reference book for people who want to know more about exercises and their target muscle groups. But what makes it different than googling an exercise or watching a video is that most of the search result content or video content do not show in detail why an exercise is better for strengthening a muscle group over another. This book shows that by depicting the targeted muscle groups in very detailed images.
