This series of videos features Dr. Andy Galpin, a professor of kinesiology at Cal State University Fullerton and an expert on the science and application of methods to increase strength, speed, endurance, hypertrophy, and other aspects of fitness, exercise, and sports performance. The videos discuss the nine major components of physical fitness, including skill, speed, power, force, strength, muscle hypertrophy, muscular endurance, anaerobic capacity, maximal aerobic capacity, and total body endurance. They also cover supplementation, nutrition, and recovery for different types of exercise adaptations. The videos discuss the importance of combining strength and endurance training for optimal health and functionality, and the differences between identical twins who had exercised for 35 years and those who had not. They also discuss the history of exercise and nutrition, from the 1950s to the 1980s, and the importance of including women in scientific research and the need for more research on female athletes. The videos also discuss the four components of good movement technique, symmetry, stability, awareness, and range of motion, and how to test for power, strength, and muscular endurance. Finally, the videos discuss the importance of understanding the goal of one's exercise routine in order to get the most out of it, and the importance of striving for a V.O.2 max of at least 35 milliliters per kilogram per minute for men and 30 for women.
