In Delavier’s Mixed Martial Arts Anatomy, Delavier and co-author Michael Gundill provide more than 120 exercises and 20 training programs for MMA fighters of all levels of experience. He is the author of the best-selling Strength Training Anatomy, Women’s Strength Training Anatomy, The Strength Training Anatomy Workout, Delavier’s Core Training Anatomy, and Delavier’s Stretching Anatomy. Michael Gundill has written 13 books on strength training, sport nutrition, and health, including ...
According to Frédéric Delavier, coauthor of the upcoming Delavier’s Core Training Anatomy (Human Kinetics, October 2011), the same workout every day may reap rewards for a short period, but continued success requires modifying abdominal workouts to keep muscles challenged. He is the author of the best-selling Strength Training Anatomy, Women’s Strength Training Anatomy, The Strength Training Anatomy Workout, and Delavier’s Stretching Anatomy.

Static stretching consists of holding a stretch for 10 seconds to 1 minute. This type of stretching resembles plyometrics because it plays on the stretch–relax cycle (or elasticity) and causes a reflex contraction.

The authors of The Strength Training Anatomy Workout have more than 50 years of experience in fitness training between them, and they practice what they preach about working out at home. Delavier is the author of two best-selling books, Strength Training Anatomy and Women’s Strength Training Anatomy. The quality of a strength-training exercise being performed is much more important than the amount of time spent strength training.

In his upcoming book, Delavier’s Stretching Anatomy (Human Kinetics, October 2010), Delavier discusses the top five reasons every athlete should stretch. “Using the muscle’s passive resistance strength, stretching accelerates the speed at which the proteins that compose the muscle fibers are synthesized,” says Delavier. Delavier’s Stretching Anatomy offers stretches for releasing tension, increasing flexibility, and creating an overall sense of well-being.
Static stretching is the most practiced stretching method. Static stretching relies on basic stretch-ing movements and muscle contractions. The agonist muscle contracts rapidly, which lengthens the antagonist muscle, thereby stretching it.
Repetitive athletic movements can reduce your range of motion by tightening the muscles and tendons. In certain sports and activities, like swimming or gymnastics, stretching must be done regularly to increase the range of motion in a joint when that range corresponds with increased performance. Using the muscle’s strength in passive resistance, stretching accel-erates the speed at which the proteins that make up the muscle fibers are synthesized.
