Functional Training Anatomy

The book is a must for all coaches and personal trainers. This should be one of those books that you keep in your gym bag for a quick reference to answer any questions you might have concerning the proper way to perform an exercise and to understand the muscles that are being used. Kevin Carr and Dr. Mary Kate Feit did an awesome job. The book is easy to read and understand, the pictures are clear and incredibly detailed. This book should be a requirement in every course related to strength and condition or exercise physiology.

Simple,concise and to the point. Helps bring anatomy to life! It is beautifully illustrated and written to help underatand the WHAT, the HOW, and the WHY of functional antatomy that helps build a foundation for a solid training program. Whether you are just starting out in the industry or a vet, this book is a must have in your aresenal.

A nice book to add to your collection on exercise books and gym knowledge.

Attended a webinar in which the author provided insights into the topic of the text and he went in depth into hard science. The book was a disappointment in that, the depth is not as much as what I got from the webinar. It's another good book but I thought it would be so much more than images with how to perform different exercises. Learned more from the 1-hour webinar than the text but if you are new to S&C, it's a great foundational text on functional exercise.

Well written: straightforward yet detailed with great examples and illustrations. This book is a "must have" for any sports enthusiasts.

This book gives me hope that the fitness industry is finally evolving! Kevin and Mary Kate did a tremendous job. It's for sure one of the best books on movement out there, and the content develops a framework for understanding movement learning. An essential read for ALL fitness professionals. Five stars for sure!

This book was awesome! Very straightforward explanations for how and why. The illustrations are great too for highlighting the muscles working in the exercises, and then with the sports application of each.

The book is a lot shorter than I was expecting. The info is useful but there is a lot of empty space in the book. I also wish it would have been better formatted so the exercise and the exercise description were on the same pages. Oftentimes you have to flip back and forth between the description and the exercises which is a bit annoying. Some of the exercises have multiple images to properly show the motion/muscular movement while others have one static image that leaves a lot to be desired. Overall, a useful book with great exercises but questionably worth it with the price point and the amount of info provided. Would give it a 3.5, if possible.

Illustrazioni fatte molto bene e contenuti semplici ed esplicativi

Excellent book- great resource developed by Kevin Carr & MK Feit. This books compliments any of the Functional Training Books by Mike Boyle as one can see how the exercises translate to functional sports performance. Really enjoy the “functional focus” aspect to all exercises- can see how exercises directly transfer to sporting movements.
