In particular, transfer of training cannot be understood if the five properties are treated as separate factors. This is a highly original and scientifically substantiated viewpoint that has never before been presented in a textbook.<br /><br />This book does not approach strength training in terms of its mechanical manifestations; instead, the author presents a model based on what is known about the underlying – especially neurological – processes.

Dynamic systems theory is used to create a link between motor learning and str
