Samenvatting:

A guide to developing, safely and effectively, the condition of the abdominal muscles - a crucial component of fitness for a variety of sports. At the heart of the book is the author's Functional Load Abdominal Training (F.L.A.T.). The programme is based on physiological principles that take account of the natural action, balance and leverage of the abdominal muscles, providing in-depth background information on anatomy, physiology, posture and exercise analysis. Written for fitness trainers, aerobics instructors, keep-fit enthusiasts, sportspeople and coaches alike, the guide details exercises that are safe for those of poor fitness levels and for those who have suffered back pain. The programme is effective after pregnancy and should also be valuable for the elderly.
