Description
McGill: Ultimate Back Fitness and Performance:
Dr. McGill's writing style makes the book easy to read, yet it remains a thorough and rich resource.
If you're only looking for pictures of different exercises, you should buy a different book. If, on the other hand, you want to know why, how, and when specific exercises work, and how to create a program with logical progression, then this is the book for you.
Get ready for a new approach. Ultimate Back Fitness and Performance debunks myths!
The book begins by identifying and correcting faulty movements, moves on to improving stability, then endurance, and concludes with training in strength, power, and mobility.
Examples are provided for each stage of the rehabilitation program for back pain, along with a program designed to improve athletic performance.
Each step is clearly illustrated and includes detailed instructions. In addition, the book offers general approaches for assessing the physical demands of individual activities and sports, and for identifying critical components that require special attention for each individual’s back.
The 5th edition includes a chapter on transition training. Many people can build a foundation for performance but fail in the transition to specific training.
Guidelines for transition training are described, and the concept of “superstiffness” is introduced with new exercises based on his latest studies.
Tips for implementing this effective principle are also described with examples:
- Eliminate energy losses
- Overcome roadblocks
- Increase speed
- Achieve ultimate performance.
Practical sections include a "squat clinic," and as is typical in Dr. McGill's Books , the advice Books evidence-based.
Please note that this book is intended to guide you through a range of the best training progression methods for improving back strength in the safest possible way. It is written for professionals and others interested in the subject.
"Low Back Disorders" (McGill's second book) is designed for professionals to assist with patient assessments, injury prevention, and the development of therapeutic exercise programs.
