Kettlebell Training For Size
HistoryRussians have been lifting kettlebells to demonstrate strength, stamina and agility for centuries. The strongest men were revered within the community as protectors and dogooders. Soviet soldiers trained with kettlebells in the same way American soldiers do calisthenic workouts like pushups, pullups and situps. In 1985, the Soviet United All State Sport Association set down official rules for the sport of kettlebell training. Kettlebells have gained popularity in American fitness settings since the late 1990s, primarily through the work of RussianAmerican fitness trainer Pavel Tsatsouline.
BenefitsBecause a kettlebell is bottomheavy, it is harder to handle than a dumbbell, which distributes its weight more efficiently. This means that in addition to building muscle mass in large muscle groups, smaller stabilizing muscles are engaged to a greater extent with a kettlebell than other free weight methods. The ballistic movements of the swinging weight improve neuromuscular movement patterns. Kettlebells are a versatile piece of equipment, so you can use them to do a variety of exercises that target different muscle groups and functional movements. Because they are small and compact, they are easy to store and transport.
FunctionYou do most kettlebell movements either onehanded unilateral movements or with a kettlebell in each hand bilateral movements. Because each side of the body acts independently,[url=http://www.sport.fr/smartphones/moncler.asp]femmes moncler[/url], training with kettlebells prevents your dominant side from doing more of the work in bilateral exercises and create even muscle tone. Many traditional kettlebell exercises like the snatch, Turkish getup and swing are fullbody exercises, so the different muscle groups work together to lift and stabilize the weight, building size throughout the body. You can also do Olympicstyle lifts, such as clean and jerks, powerlifting movements like deadlifts or standard weightlifting exercises like bicep curls, using kettlebells. If you are unsure how to perform these exercises, a number of internet resources provide detailed instructions and instructional videos. A qualified personal trainer will also be able to teach you correct kettlebell lifting technique.
Scientific FindingSome kettlebell proponents advocate replacing other fitness training with kettlebell training. An oftencited 1983 Russian study found that subjects who did kettlebell training exclusively performed better on pullups, broad jump, 100m sprint, and 1K run tests than subjects who trained specifically for these movements, reports On the Edge Fitness. When slender athletes trained with kettlebells, they increased their body weight by 21.2 percent, while heavyweights decreased their body mass by the same percentage.
