| achilles strengthening exercises: Strength Training and Exercise Prescription for Rehabilitation Professionals Jenna A. Mattera, 2025-04-30 Strength Training and Exercise Prescription for Rehabilitation Professionals is a modern, evidence-based, therapeutic exercise textbook written for clinicians, by a clinician. The content aims to fill any gaps in exercise knowledge and truly highlights the application and integration of progressive resistance training into the rehabilitation setting. This book delivers a vast, well-researched exercise library and provides sound guidance on developing a comprehensive exercise program, including exercise selection, prescription, and dosing for any individual. Strength Training and Exercise Prescription for Rehabilitation Professionals details a variety of progressions and regressions that allow a primary movement pattern – the squat, deadlift, bridge, push, pull, and carry – to be performed by individuals of all ages, body types, and experience levels. It considers specific factors that apply to injured populations, like pain, phase of healing, pre-requisite range of motion, and strength requirements. The exercise chapters feature many pieces of resistance training equipment, but also explain how to perform and modify bodyweight exercises to achieve the desired training effect, as access to equipment often varies. High-quality images are paired with step-by-step, written explanations, and valuable coaching cues aim to aid instruction and execution. In addition, it also highlights current evidence for rehabilitation of specific diagnoses, including Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction, lower back pain, patella, and Achilles tendinopathy. This textbook is an excellent resource for new clinicians and seasoned professionals who desire concise, factual guidance and reference to support the development of their rehabilitative exercise programs. It would be a worthwhile addition to the curriculum of any physical therapy, chiropractic, or athletic training program, but is also appropriate for anyone that may interact closely with rehabilitation clinicians, like strength and conditioning coaches, personal trainers, exercise physiologists, and other fitness professionals with one common goal: improve quality of care and maximize patient outcomes through exercise. |

| achilles strengthening exercises: Eccentric Exercise Hans Hoppeler, 2014-08-21 Eccentric muscle contraction, during which a muscle lengthens while under tension, is a fundamental process of human movement but a surprisingly under-researched area of exercise science. Evidence suggests that training programmes which incorporate both eccentric and concentric contractions can result in greater strength gains than concentric contractions alone, and this clearly has important implications for training and rehabilitation in sport and health. In Eccentric Exercise, leading international sport scientist Hans Hoppeler introduces the fundamental physiology and pathophysiology of eccentric muscle work, and explores the key applications of eccentric exercise in sport, rehabilitation and health. The book examines the molecular mechanisms responsible for tissue and organismic adaptations and discusses eccentric muscle-related pathology, specifically delayed onset muscle soreness. It assesses the use of eccentric exercise training in the treatment of certain disease states such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart insufficiency and sarcopenia, while a concluding chapter points to open research questions, shows the limits of the available data and highlights problems with current exercise modalities. This book is important reading for all sport and exercise scientists, clinicians working in rehabilitation, and high-level strength and conditioning coaches and trainers. |

| achilles strengthening exercises: Injury-Free Running, Second Edition Tom Michaud, 2021-06-15 This no-nonsense guide shows you how an understanding of anatomy and biomechanics, coupled with the latest strengthening exercises and rehab protocols, can keep you running injury-free for a long time to come. Each time your foot hits the ground while running, an impact force averaging three times your weight travels through your body at more than 200 miles per hour, causing your bones to vibrate and tendons to stretch. When you consider that the average runner strikes the ground more than 10,000 times per hour, this translates into a remarkable amount of force that needs to be absorbed, and explains why nearly 50% of recreational runners are injured each year. The purpose of this book is to show you that impact forces are not necessarily harmful. By modifying your running form and doing specific exercises to improve tendon resiliency, not only can you effectively absorb these forces, but you can also store and return a significant percentage of them in the form of elastic recoil. Besides reducing your risk of injury, efficiently storing and returning energy can allow you to run faster with less effort. With more than 200 illustrations and 300 references, this book reviews how to: Perform an at-home gait analysis to make specific changes in your running form that can reduce impact forces and improve performance. Decrease your risk of injury by identifying problems with strength, flexibility, and/or neuromotor coordination using specific functional tests. Incorporate new exercises to enhance the storage and return of energy in your tendons. Select the running shoe that is right for you. Treat 25 of the most common running-related injuries with the most up-to-date, scientifically justified treatment protocols available. |
