This book presents the possibilities offered for specialized muscle strengthening using pulleys, strength machines, and dumbbells. Special emphasis is placed on training with pulleys, as this allows for the simulation of the technique of many sports, resulting in the development of specific strength.

The manual is divided into four parts. The first part analyzes elements of coaching and biomechanics and presents the theory of pulleys, clarifying the difference in their functioning compared to strength machines. It also provides indicative programs for developing strength and endurance, taking into account the age of the trainees.

The next three parts focus on practice. In the practical section, the first chapter analyzes basic exercises for all muscle groups using pulleys, strength machines, and dumbbells, and provides corresponding stretching exercises. The second chapter includes exercises for instabilities and joint injuries, while the third presents special exercises for a range of sports, the techniques of which can be simulated on pulleys. Such sports include throwing events in athletics, swimming, tennis, handball, and more.
