Get the latest scientific evidence on back exercise - what helps and what hurts, and why, from a world renowned authority. Ultimate Back Fitness and Performance provides professionals with the evidence base to design and prescribe the best exercise programs for the back. A complete description of a 5-stage program is provided. Many examples illustrate each stage within a bad back rehabilitation program together with a performance enhancement program for athletes. Beginning with recognizing and re-patterning perturbed motor programs and progressing to the enhancement of stability, then endurance, the final stages continue with strength, power and agility training. Each step is well illustrated and instructive. Added to this are general approaches to assess the demand of individual activities and sports and how to identify the critical components that need specific focus in an individual's back. Dr. McGill's style makes for an easy read of this thorough and rich resource. New for the second edition: The recent “second edition” features an entirely new chapter on transitional training. Many are able to train a foundation for performance but fail to make the transition to specific training. Transition training guidelines are described and the concept of “superstiffness” is introduced, based on his recent studies. Tips to employ this effective principle are also described with examples – eliminate energy leaks, conquer sticking points, enhance speed and achieve ultimate performance. New practical sections include the “squat clinic”. Typical of Dr McGill’s writings, the guidance is evidence-based.

Artist Bio: Professor McGill's unique approach is based upon years of scientific research into back function of injured people through elite athletes. His expertise is sought by governments, corporations, professional sports teams and athletes.
