Scientific basis for hypertrophy training Paulo Gentil

Resistance training has moved from the universe of personal experiences, superficiality and common sense, to systematized, rational and experimentation-focused knowledge. This book is the fruit of this reality. Physical activity enthusiasts and professionals will find from a brief review of the principles of training to the fine adjustments of resistance training such as: range of motion, exercise dose and selection of the stimulus. Many people give up resistance training because they do not obtain the expected results. Through this didactic and profound work, the variables will be exposed and the paths to the best program will be pointed out. Criticism of obsolete models, paradigms breaking and sustainable resistance training are some of the themes that the author discusses with great propriety. The book represents a perfect union of theory and practice. Written by someone with more than 20 years of practical experience and, at the same time, one of the world's most exceptional researchers on resistance training. A success in terms of sales and amongst critics, the book is in its sixth edition in Portuguese and it is the most widely read book on the theme in its original language, positioning itself as a bestseller since its release and obtaining major awards. This is undoubtedly a work that will contribute to the personal and professional growth of those who are interested and work in the area.
