In this book, the author describes movement patterns in sports and illustrates how the muscles that work together in coordinated actions, as well as their connective tissue sheaths (fascia), interact in functional groups known as "muscle loops." This term has been introduced and widely used in the theory and practice of sports and sports medicine. The author paints a vivid picture of the phases of various movements in sports and points out the muscles involved in the muscle loops, much like an enthusiastic reporter following a game or athletic performance. He details the muscle loops involved in several sports disciplines, including throwing (javelin, medicine ball, shot put), wrestling, boxing, gymnastics (parallel bars, rings), rhythmic gymnastics, rowing, ballet, dancing, jumping (high jump, long jump, hurdles), and running (sprint).
