"Blytungt, rappt och roligt om kvinnlig styrketräning" Dagens Nyheter

"Rör sig mellan gymgolv och tanketradition, med en personlig, påläst och stilistiskt säkert ton. / / Så lyckas Martinsson fördjupa och komplicera den samtida diskussionen kring träning." Expressen

"En fascinerande och tänkvärd berättelse om vår kroppslighet och den tillvaro som formar oss." VLT

Idag är styrketräning en helt självklar träningsform för svenska kvinnor. Men fram till nyligen var det en tabubelagd syssla, och om den skulle utföras skulle det helst inte ske utanför hemmet. Att som kvinna tävla i sporten tyngdlyftning var otänkbart - inte förrän år 2000 var damer välkomna att ställa upp i OS.

Knäböj är en berättelse om kvinnor och styrketräning. Det handlar om hur den enkla strävan att själv få bygga sin kropp och lyfta tungt har motarbetats och misstänkliggjorts, och om det mod och kreativitet som krävts för att trotsa den. Med ett personligt och kunnigt tilltal, med inspiration från skönlitteraturen och forskningen, skriver journalisten Sara Martinsson den kvinnliga styrketräningens idéhistoria, från strong women och föreningslivets eldsjälar till dagens träningsinfluencers.

Sara Martinsson är frilansjournalist och tyngdlyftningstränare. Hon skriver om musik, kultur och träning i bland annat DN och Arbetet.

Styrketräning växer i popularitet och forskningen går framåt i snabb takt. Den här boken ger dig både bred och djup kunskap inom styrketräningens fysiologi samtidigt som du får reda på de senaste rönen. I boken belyses frågor som: • Vilka faktorer bestämmer muskelns styrka? • Hur sker muskelhypertrofi? • Vilken betydelse har nervsystemet? • Har vi ett muskelminne? • Varför svarar vi olika på styrketräning? • Måste man träna med tunga vikter? • Vad är träningsvärk? • Behövs proteintillskott? • Kan styrketräning förbättra hälsan? Styrketräningens fysiologi riktar sig till studenter inom medicin, idrotts- och hälsovetenskapliga ämnen, till yrkesverksamma personer inom hälso- och träningsrelaterade områden, samt till tränare och aktiva inom idrotten. Boken ger läsaren en gedigen grund att stå på när det gäller att förstå den fysiologi som ligger bakom styrketräningens mångfacetterade effekter. Styrketräningens fysiologi helt enkelt! Författaren Tommy Lundberg är verksam vid Karolinska Institutet och bedriver forskning och undervisning inom styrketräning och muskelfysiologi. Förordet är skrivet av den erkände muskelfysiologen Per Tesch. Även forskarna William Apró och Håkan Westerblad bidrar med sin expertis i boken.

Improve your body’s oxygen use and increase your health, weight loss, and sports performance—whether you’re a recovering couch potato or an Ironman triathlon champion.

One of the biggest obstacles to better health and fitness is a rarely identified problem: chronic over-breathing. We often take many more breaths than we need—without realizing it—contributing to poor health and fitness, including a host of disorders, from anxiety and asthma to insomnia and heart problems.

In The Oxygen Advantage, the man who has trained over 5,000 people—including Olympic and professional athletes—in reduced breathing exercises now shares his scientifically validated techniques to help you breathe more efficiently. Patrick McKeown teaches you the fundamental relationship between oxygen and the body, then gets you started with a Body Oxygen Level Test (BOLT) to determine how efficiently your body uses oxygen. He then shows you how to increase your BOLT score by using light breathing exercises and learning how to simulate high altitude training, a technique used by Navy SEALs and professional athletes to help increase endurance, weight loss, and vital red blood cells to dramatically improve cardio-fitness.

Following his program, even the most out-of-shape person (including those with chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma) can climb stairs, run for a bus, or play soccer without gasping for air, and everyone can achieve:

Easy weight loss and weight maintenanceImproved sleep and energyIncreased concentrationReduced breathlessness during exerciseHeightened athletic performanceImproved cardiovascular healthElimination of asthmatic symptoms, and more.

With The Oxygen Advantage, you can look better, feel better, and do more—it’s as easy as breathing.

Appealing to the motivational, upgrade your life through fitness audience for bestsellers like Own the Day, Own Your Life by Aubrey Marcus, The Resistance Training Revolution reveals how weight training is the best form of exercise to burn fat, boost metabolism, and avoid injury and illness. This is the first authoritative, comprehensive guidebook from Mind Pump Media, one of the fastest-growing brands in the health and fitness industry. Building muscle and burning body fat is often one focus and overall health & wellness is often another. The Resistance Training Revolution brings both of those elements together. Mind Pump co-founder Sal Di Stefano blows the lid off the same old "30 minutes of cardio a day" advice, revealing how to optimize your time spent in the gym--at least 2-3 days a week for the average person, following Mind Pump's Muscular Adaptation Programming System (MAPS)--to transform your health in a way that cardio alone cannot. The book draws on the many recent studies and expert advice from MDs and other health experts (including many guests featured on the Mind Pump podcast) to show the superiority of resistance training for all aspects of health including injury prevention and anti-aging.
