Hi,
I have just completed my first week of foundation one and really enjoying it. The format and systemisation of the course is fantastic.
i am interested in reading and learning more about the concepts, theory and science of 'gymnastics strength'.
Can anyone recommend any books?
Many thanks in advance.
Enzo
Hi Enzo, the science behind GST is composed by 3 factors:
1-understanding the details of the exercise from the first to the least;
2-learn and understand the basic theory behind (basic physiology of human body, neurophysiology, bio-mechanics, arthrokinematik, periodizzation ,and so on)
3-learning directly from Coach Sommer in person. no matter about point 1 and 2, science of training it is the complex world behind the year experience of high level Coaches, who coached elite level athletes.
SO basically if you want a basic theory from different fields you have start from basic book. above i cited some fields you need to know very well. but there isn't a book explaining from A to Z the GST method.
After many many years studying C. Sommer method I have a clear idea but this is only the results of putting all together.
Would be nice if Gymnastic Bodies would make some courses on these subjects.
Too Complex, it is like make a book on the science behind joint mobility. I used to hold some hours at the university on joint mobility, speaking about something. during these hours I tend to say about 50 thousand words, consider that a romance it is about 65-70 thousand words. Personally for me it is impossible to arrange a course on these things.
Then how do you learn it? Really want to increase my knowledge on this.
It is the same as with training itself: "You have to start somewhere"!
Read books about training, anatomy, stretching, physiology etc. Start with the easy ones that you can find in any sportshop.
The good aspect of beeing a beginner (in training or in science) is, that in the beginning of any journey you make the greatest progress. The more advanced you become, the more effort you have to throw in... and the more you discover how little you know...

Exactly that.
Could you recommend some titles and/or authors who are especially good at explaining the basic concepts. Books that don't assume any familiarity with "training, anatomy, stretching, physiology".
