Time Block N - Friday, 4:40-6:30pm
Presented By Len Kravitz, PhD
Session Format: Lecture
Using interactive computer technology, see the intricate mechanisms involved in muscle force production for strength and hypertrophy. Learn all about muscle metabolism, motor unit recruitment, eccentric versus concentric overloads, volume versus intensity training considerations, and age-related phenomena of muscle. We will discuss what really happens to muscles as they grow. And finally, get the newest research on the best training program designs for improving strength and hypertrophy.
