Beschreibung
Preface Movement in every-day life and in sport shows that the functional and structural adaptation of the active and passive motor system to physical strain of variable duration and intensity is a precondition of high physical performance. It should be based on a well-balanced and well-trained interplay of the muscular agonists and antagonists responsible for dynamic and static movements. This interplay becomes all the more necessary for the planning and implementation of prophylaxis, training methodology and physiotherapy, when one considers the increasing physical specialization and the inappropriate strain which is sometimes put on muscles, both at work and particularly in sport. To achieve this aim, it is not primarily the size or power of a single muscle, however well developed, which is important, but rather the way it can function optimally in the context of movements of a part or of the whole of the body, when it is combined with other agonists and antagonists to form muscle slings, which operate as a functional unit. In this way stable muscle-joint relationships are established, which guarantee that the movement and support system of our body can withstand great stress. This is what the numerous and interesting sequences of movements, carried out by female and male athletes in various types of sport, are intended to demonstrate. At the same time the reader will learn about the important part played by a functional-anatomical approach to the motor system in everyday life and practice. The content is intended to meet the needs of sports training, physio- and sports therapy, and rehabilitation following injuries. The text is superbly complemented by the unique threepart illustrations created by the artist, Kurt Opitz. This book has been written especially for sports students, and for physio-, sport- and ergotherapeutic students, as well as for trainers and sports physicians in continuous professional development. The author was actively involved in anatomy and sports medicine for almost four decades, and had medical responsibility for professional athletes at a national and international level, and was thus in continuous contact with the practical aspects of sport. He hopes that, with this book, he can give the reader some new and interesting insights and stimulating ideas for his or her own work. I wish to give special thanks to KIENER Press in Munich and to the translators for their professional and committed support and reliable cooperation. Kurt Tittel Leipzig, June 2015
