High Intensity Functional Training: Clinical Applications in Training, Rehabilitation, and Sport presents a clear definition of high intensity functional training (HIFT) in medical literature while also examining how HIFT can be used as an exercise/training modality, a rehabilitation protocol, and as a competitive sport unto itself. Topics covered move from the data in the research, the implications to specific patients, and rehabilitation outcomes. Chapter authors are all subject matter experts, some of whom have designed and implemented studies regarding this training modality.
This comprehensive book provides a solution on training and the sport, and how to best care for these athletes.
