Isometric Training

Isometric training with world-class guidance. The sedentary lifestyle and lack of movement that characterise modern societies progressively lead to both reduced performance and health problems.

Description:

Participation in sport and a range of physical activities can help restore energy, wellbeing and good health. The book “Isometric Training”, by HETTINGER, a sports physician and leading worldwide expert in isometric training, includes a series of fitness tests with or without equipment, allowing you to assess:

Strength, endurance, agility, dexterity and reaction ability. It also includes simple isometric exercises for the entire muscular system. These exercises can be performed anywhere (at home, in the office, etc.) without requiring equipment or an accompanying trainer. The ten-minute fitness programmes are suitable for all ages, and their regular application is sufficient to maintain good physical condition. Isometric training is aimed at those with a sedentary lifestyle, who do not have much time for systematic training, and at “lazy” people who want to maintain their fitness with short-duration exercise. It is also intended for physical education teachers who wish to apply the “fitness” programmes in mass sport, as well as older people who exercise to maintain good fitness and health.
