Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exercises for Perfect Posture is the complete guide to achieving healthy posture, providing everything from fitness programs and exercises designed to realign your spine and strengthen your shoulders, neck and back as well as guidance on how to redesign your work space to be more ergonomic. Good posture is foundational to good health. Poor posture can lead to shoulder discomfort, neck pain, and even chronic conditions such as carpel tunnel syndrome if left uncorrected. Yet the modern lifestyle and the modern workplace together make it very difficult to maintain healthy, natural posture throughout the day. Humans were not meant to spend all their time sitting down, and the “disease of inactivity” has reached near-epidemic proportions. Exercises for Perfect Posture corrects deficiencies in your posture through resistance exercises, flexibility, and cardiovascular activities that will fit any schedule. Exercises for Perfect Posture also includes: · A detailed overview of how exercise can improve your posture · Clear, informative pictures of safe, effective exercises · Detailed instructions on how to perform each movement · A complete fitness approach to restoring posture · A training log to track your progress Featuring expert-approved fitness techniques, with options ranging from resistance training to mobility movements, Exercises for Perfect Posture is the all-in-one resource for anyone looking to stand up straight and face life head-on! Exercise can improve your posture and health. With more and more people finding themselves working desk jobs and other largely seated, sedentary positions, the issues resulting from poor posture are only becoming more prevalent. The downsides of improper posture set the stage for health and mobility risks later on in life. Exercises for Perfect Posture provides the physical and preventative education necessary to improve posture and health through a comprehensive fitness program for all ages.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction and objective Resistance training (RT) shows beneficial effects on the physical health and fitness, i.e. muscle growth, changes in body composition, increase in strength. In RT programs for novice participants, machines are favored. The purpose of this RCT is to compare progression in strength, girth measures and functional movement quality, when following a RT program using free weights only, machines only, or free weights after machines. More specifically, the effects on the upper back region will be focused on. Methods Forty-two previously untrained healthy young adult men participated in a strength training program from which 30 participants completed the full 10 weeks. The subjects were randomly classified in 3 training groups; Free Weight Group (FWG) (n=12), Machine Group (MG) (n=10) or Combined group (n=8). A pre-, mid- and post-test were conducted to evaluate strength (1RM), girth measures and movement quality (Functional Movement Screen). The program consisted of 2 sessions per week, using 3 sets per exercise at a 10 RM intensity. Results The results showed a significant increase in strength, girth measures and functional movement quality related to the upper back region, except for rotatory stability in the Combined group. No significant difference was observed between the 3 training groups. Conclusion An equal increase in strength, girth measures and functional movement quality was noted using free weights only, machines only, or free weights after machines. Because of the general benefits using machines, the same training effects and a positive transfer from machines to free weights, starting a training program with machines switching to free weights can be recommended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover How to Enhance Your Muscles, Lose Weight and Stay Fit the RIGHT WAY! Do you wish to build your muscle mass and increase your strength? Do you wish to burn fat by following a workout plan without leaving your comfort zone? Are you willing to flip the page on your health to maintain overall body fitness? If your answer is yes, then this book is all you need! Resistance bands have grown in popularity recently as a way to generate resistance to gain strength. This implies you can enjoy the effects of increased strength without having to devote hours lifting weights in the gym. Resistance bands provide ease of usage at home or on the go and are portable and affordable, all of which are partly responsible for why they are very popular in the health and fitness space. Anyone can use resistance bands irrespective of their fitness levels since different bands offer different resistance levels (light, medium, or heavy), thereby engaging your muscles at different degrees of intensity. Athletes and the average person can build strength with resistance bands, which is comparable to working out with dumbbells or weight machines. Even more so than weightlifting, resistance band exercises can enhance the stabilizing muscles. This muscle group is crucial because it protects us from injury and assists our major muscles and joints when in motion. Also, resistance bands are widely used for rehabilitative purposes since bolstering the body's major muscles can enhance movement and stability. While resistance bands are mostly adopted by younger adults, senior citizens, on the other hand, can also take advantage of the benefits derived from using them at home, especially when they cannot easily access a gym. Resistance band exercises are not only risk-free for senior citizens, but they can also lower fragility. At all levels, balance, flexibility, and body composition (reduced body fat and increased muscle) can all be improved with resistance bands; all of which are discussed in the pages of this book Below are some of the highlights discussed in this book; 1. Types of resistance bands and their benefits 2. Resistance band colors and the levels of resistance they provide 3. General safety precautions for resistance band exercises 4. Warm-ups exercises for resistance bands 5. Workout routine you can adopt when exercising 6. Workout programming sets and reps for each resistance band exercise 7. Muscle building, weight loss, and body fitness exercises with pictorial illustrations for each muscle group, such as the legs, glutes, shoulders, chest, back, arms, core, etc. …and so much more! Building muscle, losing weight, and staying fit have been made easy with this resistance band exercise guide. So, what more are you waiting for?

Book excerpt: The concept of Functional Patterns is a train of thought that has been building upon itself over the course of my entire lifetime. I was taught at a very young age to question authority and everything around me by my highly skeptical parents. My parents were extremely hard workers who were very resourceful with the little money they had. They lived by the "practice what you preach" motto in every sense they could. The apple didn't fall very far from the tree and I have embodied (to the best of my ability) what I was fortunate enough to be taught at a very young age. The Functional Patterns method didn't start with the memorization of techniques. It started at a base of reasoning that has seemingly been missing from the industry of health today. When ego checking experiences of life mixed with the values I had already wired in from my childhood, a different approach towards looking at the human organism emerged.

Download or read book The Effect of Using Machines Or Free Weights for Resistance Training on Progression and Postural Control Specifically on the Shoulder Region written by Yassine Vansant and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction and objective Machines and free weights are two forms of external resistance which are used in todays training programs. Free weights have higher stability requirements compared to machines which follow a fixed path and require less effort of the stabilizing muscles (Schwanbeck, 2009) (Willoughby DS, 1990).The purpose of this study is to examine the difference in progression in strength and postural control in a resistance training program specifically for the shoulder region between these two forms of external resistance. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups, one training with free weights, one with machines and one where the participants trained with machines the first 5 weeks and switched to free weights after the intermediate evaluation. There will be referred to this group as the switch group. The first research question is whether there is a difference in progression in strength and postural control. Secondly, the purpose is to examine the effect on progression in strength and postural control when making a transition from machines to free weights. Methods To this end, the three groups were tested pre, intermediate and after the training program. To evaluate progression in strength and postural control, 1RM-testing and the FMS test battery was used. Circumference measurements were measured according ISAK guidelines. Results Results indicate a significant progression in strength in every group and for all the exercises (p0,028). For body weight, circumference measurements and relevant FMS-tests there was not always a significant difference within groups (p>0,05) although relevant circumferences for the shoulder all increased significantly (p0,045) along with the overall FMS-score (p0,002). No significant differences (p>0,05) were found between the 3 groups. Conclusion All 3 groups made a significant improvement in 1RM-tests, implying that when using free weights, machines or a combination of the two, there is a significant rise in strength. Circumference measurements concerning the shoulder region all increased significantly along with the overall FMS-score which could point to an improvement of the dynamic stability. The switch group which trained with machines the 5 first weeks and switched to free weights after the intermediate evaluation showed similar progression in strength and postural control compared to the other groups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Respiratory Muscle Training: theory and practice is the world’s first book to provide an "everything-you-need-to-know" guide to respiratory muscle training (RMT). Authored by an internationally-acclaimed expert, it is an evidence-based resource, built upon current scientific knowledge, as well as experience at the cutting-edge of respiratory training in a wide range of settings. The aim of the book is to give readers: 1) an introduction to respiratory physiology and exercise physiology, as well as training theory; 2) an understanding of how disease affects the respiratory muscles and the mechanics of breathing; 3) an insight into the disease-specific, evidence-based benefits of RMT; 4) advice on the application of RMT as a standalone treatment, and as part of a rehabilitation programme; and finally, 5) guidance on the application of functional training techniques to RMT. The book is divided into two parts – theory and practice. Part I provides readers with access to the theoretical building blocks that support practice. It explores the evidence base for RMT as well as the different methods of training respiratory muscles and their respective efficacy. Part II guides the reader through the practical implementation of the most widely validated form of RMT, namely inspiratory muscle resistance training. Finally, over 150 "Functional" RMT exercises are described, which incorporate a stability and/or postural challenge – and address specific movements that provoke dyspnoea. Respiratory Muscle Training: theory and practice is supported by a dedicated website (www.physiobreathe.com), which provides access to the latest information on RMT, as well as video clips of all exercises described in the book. Purchasers will also receive a three-month free trial of the Physiotec software platform (via www.physiotec.ca), which allows clinicians to create bespoke training programmes (including video clips) that can be printed or emailed to patients. Introductory overviews of respiratory and exercise physiology, as well as training theory Comprehensive, up-to-date review of respiratory muscle function, breathing mechanics and RMT Analysis of the interaction between disease and respiratory mechanics, as well as their independent and combined influence upon exercise tolerance Analysis of the rationale and application of RMT to over 20 clinical conditions, e.g., COPD, heart failure, obesity, mechanical ventilation Evidence-based guidance on the implementation of inspiratory muscle resistance training Over 150 functional exercises that incorporate a breathing challenge www.physiobreathe.com - access up-to-date information, video clips of exercises and a three-month free trial of Physiotec’s RMT exercise module (via www.physiotec.ca)

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objectives: To investigate the differences between strength training with machines and free weights and the transition from machines to free weights on progression and postural control. This study was specified on the effects on m. hamstrings. Method: Thirty healthy, male participants (26,4 ± 8,4 years, 180,4 ± 7,2 cm, 79,3 ± 10,2 kg, 2340,9 ± 1444 MET min/week) between 19 and 44 years old, who didn't perform strength training in the past 12 months before the start of the study, were included. Antropometric measures, 1RM-test leg curl, 1 RM-test stiff-legged deadlift, standing broad jump (SBJ) and Functional Movement Screen (FMS) were tested before, after 5 weeks and after 10 weeks of training. The participants were randomly divided into group 1 (G1): 5 weeks machines followed by 5 weeks free weights, group 2 (G2): 10 weeks machines and group 3 (G3): 10 weeks free weigths. The participants trained 2 times a week. Mann-Whitney U Tests, Friedman tests en Wilcoxon Rank Tests with Bonferroni correction were executed during the statistic analysis. Results: Thigh circumference was in G1 significant smaller than in G2 and G3 at pre-test. G1 scored at mid-test significantly worse on SBJ compared with G3. Each group progressed significantly during the period of training for 1RM-tests leg curl and stiff-legged deadlift, SBJ and FMS-total score. Thigh circumference improved significantly only in G1 en G3. Only G2 improved significantly at inline lunge. Conclusion: Few differences were found between the groups for antropometric measures, SBJ, FMS and 1RM-tests. This means that type of weight training is not important. Studies with more participants in each group who investigate the differences between these forms of strength training on progression and postural control for a longer period of time, are necessary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete Guide to Postural Training is the first book to take a systematic approach to improving posture, from initial postural assessment to a programme of corrective exercise. Poor posture results in pain and ill health for a considerable part of the population. Only recently have people, and personal trainers, realised that improved posture can lead to enormous health and well-being benefits. Not to mention physical benefits: the average person can add half an inch to their height, 1 inch to their shoulder width and reduce their waistline by two-thirds of an inch purely by improving posture. This book is ideal for anyone who wishes to improve their posture, particularly those who wish to see health and fitness benefits or improved sporting performance. It will also prove invaluable to gym instructors and personal trainers who are dealing with increasing numbers of clients looking to improve posture and, at present, have no source of reference to work from.
