Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation in Muscle Changes

This work is the result of years dedicated to researching the application of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), a technique created in the late 1940s and spread worldwide by Dr. Herman Kabat and his team as a revolutionary therapy for the rehabilitation of neurological patients. in a different analysis, where PPEF is used as a training agent in healthy people and its influence on possible changes in muscle fibers is seen through non-invasive analyses of muscle mechanics: Surface Electromyography and Dynamometry. The fundamentals of FNP, Surface Electromyography, and Dynamometry are presented alongside the effects of classic resistance training on muscle fiber changes, providing support for the presentation and discussion of the experiment conducted by the authors. Without any intention of exhausting the subject here, the main purpose of this book is to encourage researchers of human movement to further explore FNP as a training tool in different populations and its effects.
