The Applied Biomechanics book that will teach you the basics of Exercise Mechanics as they have never been explained to you. No exercise professional can reach a high level of competence and achieve results with the minimum risk of injury without a good understanding of the basics of Exercise Mechanics. Knowing how they act, how they are tolerated and how the Forces are produced in our body is as important for any Sports Trainer as knowing the properties of the different woods is for a carpenter. In this book, Lucas Leal explains how a good Trainer can use his knowledge in Biomechanics to create exercises and well-founded methodological processes, limiting the risk of injury as much as possible and achieving maximum effectiveness and efficiency in his training. The knowledge in Exercise Mechanics offered by the Resistance Institute will change the way you see Exercise and will give you new eyes to become an Exercise expert versus an expert in doing mindless exercises. What will you find in this book ?: ✔ Over 180 color pages with quality illustrations ✔ Principles of Physics and Mechanics with examples adapted to the human body and exercise ✔ Description of the forces and properties of the loads that enter the human body when exercising. ✔ Description of the functioning of joint mechanics and lever systems in an educational way and applied to Strength training ✔ Detailed explanation of muscle mechanics with industry-unique descriptions and illustrations. A book that will teach you to see exercise with new eyes and that has become a reference in the Exercise industry. You are only one click away from seeing the exercise with new eyes! We will not let you down!
