Ultimate Back Fitness and Performance

If you want to know why, how and when specific back exercises work and how to design a logical progression, this is the book for you! This fourth edition includes an update of the science that author Stuart McGill's team has been able to significantly develop over the past couple of years. The team studied elite strongman competitors, adding unique insights about performance that McGill wanted to include in this edition. This book also provides information to help design appropriate exercise programs for the back. You will learn how to assess the demands of individual activites or sports and identify the critical components in your patient's back. Also covered are performance enhancement programs for athletes recognizing and re-patterning perturbed motor programs. Stability, endurance, strength, power and agility training are also included.
