Publisher Comments:

Strength Training for Sportsis a further volume in the Handbook of Sports Medicine and Science Series, published under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee, and represents the fundamental knowledge needed by sports medicine and coaching professionals to understanding and develop strength training programmes for athletes.

A clearly presented comprehensive source of information on all aspects of strength training, the book covers training-specific characteristics of neuromuscular performance; developing a strength training workout; periodization of training; special considerations in strength training and the medical aspects and administrative concerns in strength training.
