Description
Compensatory exercises as the foundation of healthy and effective training
Every sport brings not only benefits but also the risks of unilateral overload. Some muscles and movement segments are subjected to significant strain, while others remain insufficiently activated. The result can be pain, performance limitations, or unnecessary injuries. Therefore, compensatory exercises represent an essential part of sports preparation at all performance levels.
The book contains more than 30 chapters dedicated to various sports disciplines, describing the overloaded muscle groups, typical injuries, and a proposed sample compensatory unit for each discipline. Athletes can subsequently create similar compensatory units with the help of the recommended sections of the Exercise Alphabet, which includes a clear and practical overview of more than 120 compensatory exercises, along with detailed descriptions, warnings about what to watch for during the exercise, and photographs of correct execution.
The publication is intended for coaches, physiotherapists, physical education teachers, competitive and recreational athletes, and parents of young athletes. It is a valuable guide for anyone who wants to engage in sports healthily and prevent problems with the musculoskeletal system…
