Description
SUPERTRAINING discusses the theory and practice of sports science, biomechanics, physiology, medicine and psychology in sport, fitness and general health. It pays special attention to strength training in Olympic Weightlifting, Powerlifting, Bodybuilding, competitive sport and general fitness. Topics include weight & machine training, flexibility, periodisation, plyometrics, Russian training, sports restoration & massage, nutrition, mental preparation, disability training & injury management. It encourages questioning of much of the fitness and training information to which coaches, students, instructors, athletes, health professionals and the public are exposed daily, because too much dogma, inaccurate information and belief are presented as fact in the fitness, sports and health markets today. It intends that interaction among its members will serve as a valuable free source of useful information and education.
