Session: All About Muscles

Presented by Len Kravitz

Using interactive computer-technology, Len will clearly show you the intricate mechanisms involved in muscle force production for strength and hypertrophy. Many questions about muscle will be answered regarding specific applications to training including the following: muscle metabolism, motor unit recruitment, eccentric versus concentric overloads, volume versus intensity training considerations, and age-related phenomenon of muscle. A major part of this presentation is the discussion of what really happens to muscles as they grow. The final part of the lecture will include the newest research findings on the best training program designs for improving strength and hypertrophy.
