Functional Training (book)
Functional Training (book)

Functional training is the training concept of the future. Already an integral part of athlete training in the USA, this method – which has its roots in physiotherapy – is also becoming increasingly popular here. Indeed, the German national football team used functional training to prepare for the World Cup as early as 2006. It involves training entire muscle groups through free movements and simple equipment such as exercise mats or medicine balls – rather than just individual muscles, as is the case with weight machines in the gym. Each exercise simultaneously improves the stability and mobility of the core – our centre of strength, from which all movements originate – as well as the athlete’s coordination, reaction time and balance. Typical movement patterns for the respective sports are perfected and weaknesses specifically addressed, thereby also helping to prevent injuries. This comprehensive standard reference work, aimed at athletes, coaches and therapists, combines a well-founded theoretical section with numerous illustrated exercises that can be adapted to all sports. About the author: Michael Boyle is one of the world’s leading experts in performance optimisation in sport and functional training. He works with professional athletes across a wide range of sports, providing training and rehabilitation support, and is a sought-after consultant and speaker. His two books, *Functional Training* and *Advances in Functional Training*, are regarded as standard works in the field.Read an extract

Functional Training for Women (book) Functional Training for Women (book)
Functional Training for Women (book)

Tone your body, improve your posture, burn fat – at home or at the gym To be slim, fit and completely happy with your body, you don’t need time-consuming muscle training on bulky weight machines. Valerie Bönström, founder of the Mrs Sporty women’s sports club, and Katharna Brinkmann, author of *Yoga-Faszientraining* (riva 2016), personal trainer and yoga teacher, show that there is another way: functional training. This can be practised anywhere and is ideally suited to the female body and its needs. Functional training mobilises, stabilises and strengthens. With minimal time investment, excess weight, back pain, tension and joint problems disappear. This is because the individual muscle groups are always trained in the context of their movements – and this can be done whenever a few minutes can be found between family, work and other commitments. This book shows how busy women can integrate this kind of training into their daily lives in a practical and realistic way. About the authors Valerie Bönström has turned her passion for sport into her profession: In 2004, together with her husband Niclas, she founded Europe’s largest women’s fitness club, Mrs. Sporty; in 2012, Pixformance Sports GmbH was added to the portfolio with its award-winning, innovative equipment. With ambition, humour, passion and a sense of fun, she manages to balance her professional ambitions with her family life, which includes three young children. The fact that she and her franchise partners at Mrs. Sporty focus exclusively on functional training is, for her, a logical given. Katharina Brinkmann holds a Master’s degree in Health Management and Prevention, specialising in stress management and workplace health management. She is a co-founder of YOU – Personal Training and works as a personal trainer and yoga teacher in Offenburg. She also works as a sports therapist at a specialist psychosomatic clinic. She writes specialist articles for Functional Training Magazine and Trainingsworld and is, amongst other things, a consultant for fascial training and yoga for the German Gymnastics Federation (DGymB). Early in her career as a trainer, she worked for many years at Mrs. Sporty and at a women’s-only gym, where she gained extensive experience in group training.

100 metres in 8 seconds? (book)

100 metres in 8 seconds? (Book) How scientists predict the limits of sporting performance In 1912, the world record for the 100-metre sprint stood at 10.6 seconds. It was not until 56 years later that Jim Hines broke the 10-second barrier. Usain Bolt set a new world record in 2009: 9.58 seconds! But how fast can a human actually run? Will a runner in the future manage to cover 100 metres in less than 9 seconds? When will this milestone be reached? And what biological, physical and environmental conditions must be in place to achieve such peak performances? Taking the current world records as his starting point, John Brenkus uses statistics, physics and physiology to explain the limits of sporting excellence in a clear and accessible way, and identifies a figure for each sport that athletes can approach but can never exceed. For years, coaches, experts and sports enthusiasts have been speculating about human peak performance. This book now provides the answer. Brenkus, John John Brenkus has been studying the unique performance characteristics of the world’s best athletes in depth for years. He is a co-founder of the production company BASE Productions and was involved in creating the innovative series *Fight Science* for the National Geographic Channel.
