Timing Resistance Training: Programming the Muscle Clock for Optimal Performance

Earn 10 Hours Credit! Approved in 49 states, pending approval in LA.

Modern research has taken the application of timing to exercise programming in a new direction, discovering the existence of muscle clocks inside each of the more than 600 skeletal muscles. In this course based upon the book Timing Resistance Training: Programming the Muscle Clock for Optimal Performance, you will learn what muscles clocks are, how they work, and how to use them to design effective resistance training programs that optimize muscle strength and power. Learn how to teach muscles to “think” by delivering the timing cues that tell them when to activate key physiological actions that will enhance performance. Discover which cues to use with contemporary training methods such as paired exercise, complex, and concurrent training.
