Seminar: Maximal Strength Training

Prof. Ole Kristian Brones Berg currently works at the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences, Molde University College Norway. His research focuses on the physiology of human performance in health and disease. Particularly with focus on exercise therapies for successful healthy ageing.

Knowledge of human physiology is paramount to understanding human physical performance and pathology. It is also integral to advances in clinical care and health recommendations. The lecture will summarize the physiological rationale and adaptations of strength training with heavy loads. Specifically, the neural and muscular adaptations and how they influence performance. The presentation will be relevant for both clinical exercise therapy as well as athletic performance.
