About this title

Synopsis

Learn proper resistance training exercise techniques and the best approaches to cueing.

Knowing the applications, advantages, and disadvantages of a wide range of resistance training exercises and equipment is crucial for anyone studying exercise science. Exercises for Resistance Training: A Practical Guide to Technique, Cueing, and Coaching explains how to use the resistance training equipment found in settings such as commercial gyms, rehabilitation centers, and sport performance facilities.

Understanding the technique needed to properly perform resistance training exercises is vital, but this resource goes a step further by teaching students how to coach, cue, and correct. By combining the technical information often found in other resources with the practical instruction skills needed in real-world settings, this text prepares readers to translate complex anatomy, detailed biomechanics, and proper technique into language that makes sense to the lifters they work with.

Each exercise description includes the following:

Proper exercise technique
Primary muscles trained
Movement photos
Teaching cues
Common errors and corrections
Progressions, variations, or modifications

Principles for selecting the best exercises, along with notes about common errors and corrections, make this a great resource for both students and practitioners. Progressions, modifications, and variations for a wide range of exercises and equipment are included to ensure students and practitioners are ready to work with lifters of varying abilities and goals.

Prepare students to go beyond the classroom with Exercises for Resistance Training.
