RESUMO: Muscle hypertrophy—defined as an increase in muscular size—is one of the primary outcomes of resistance training. Science and Development of
Muscle Hypertrophy is a comprehensive compilation of science-based principles to help professionals develop muscle hypertrophy in athletes and
clients. With more than 825 references and applied guidelines throughout, no other resource offers a comparable quantity of content solely focused
on muscle hypertrophy. Readers will find up-to-date content so they fully understand the science of muscle hypertrophy and its application to
designing training programs.
Written by Brad Schoenfeld, PhD, a leading authority on muscle hypertrophy, this text provides strength and conditioning professionals, personal
trainers, sport scientists, researchers, and exercise science instructors with a definitive resource for information regarding muscle
hypertrophy—the mechanism of its development, how the body structurally and hormonally changes when exposed to stress, ways to most
effectively design training programs, and current nutrition guidelines for eliciting hypertrophic changes.
