Strength and Conditioning for Mixed Martial Arts
Rowman & Littlefield (Verlag)
978-1-5381-3954-7 (ISBN)
While most martial arts gyms teach excellent fighting techniques, few have a full understanding of the principles behind strength and conditioning, leaving many fighters over trained and injured. Strength and Conditioning for Mixed Martial Arts: A Practical Guide for the Busy Athlete provides elite-level instruction beyond fighting technique, focusing instead on improving overall athletic performance that works side-by-side with a fighter’s martial arts training. Written for the non-professional athlete, from beginning to advanced fighters, it is also readily implemented around a full-time job. Topics covered in this book include:
Selecting and maintaining equipment
Developing a training plan
Strength and conditioning
Developing a sound and safe nutrition plan
Common injuries and injury prevention
Preparing for competitions
Most mixed martial arts athletes must be able to effectively balance strength and conditioning workouts, martial arts training, family, work, and recovery. This book is designed for just that purpose, helping fighters develop programs for their specific needs, whether training for self-defense, health and wellness, or competing in the cage.
