Book Overview:
......You can’t develop functional strength
without stability. Strength Ball Training shows
you how to combine Swiss ball and medicine
ball exercises to develop greater strength and
stability and enhance your sport performance.
......Because strength balls provide an
unstable environment in which to train, they
prepare you to meet the unique demands of the
sport environment. This environment is where
interaction with teammates and counteraction
to opponents, read-and-react situations, and
body contact can all force your body into
unpredictable, unstable positions. By using
stability balls in your training program, you
can improve performance, reduce the risk of
injury, improve balance, and build strength
in the abdomen and lower back.
......Written by strength and conditioning
experts, Strength Ball Training is your complete
guide to using Swiss balls and medicine balls.
The book describes how to incorporate the balls
into a program, and it provides hundreds of
exercise variations to make training fun and
interesting.
