Within the domain of sport, the application of science is more
apparent than ever before. Not only are universities and academic
institutions scientifically investigating sport as one element of
human performance, but professional teams, sporting organizations,
and private training companies are embracing approaches that use
scientific principles to help their athletes and teams gain a
competitive edge in sporting competition. The potential for
applying science to sport training and sport performance is vast.
There is a demand for sport scientists who can collect and convert
data into valuable information-information that drives decision
making and directly influences performance outcomes. To address
this growing need, the world-renowned National Strength and
Conditioning Association developed the Certified Performance and
Sport Scientist (CPSS) certification, along with the must-have
reference for anyone in the field. NSCA's Essentials of Sport
Science features contributions from 52 globally recognized experts
and thought leaders from the field of sport science. It is the only
resource to go beyond sport science's foundations-physiology,
biochemistry, biomechanics, nutrition, and skill acquisition-to
address the use of statistics and broader fields of data science,
analytics, and technology management. Readers will explore every
aspect of the sport scientist's role: understanding training
theory, performing needs analyses, conducting athlete monitoring
and assessment, managing data and analytics, and educating and
disseminating information. The integration of these technical
skills will guide sport scientists in drawing conclusions that can
be used to manipulate training methods and shape competition
strategies for the betterment of athletes' health, well-being, and
performance. NSCA's Essentials of Sport Science offers a holistic
overview of the technical expertise, skills, and knowledge required
to operate effectively as a modern-day sport scientist. Further, it
will help prepare candidates for the NSCA's CPSS certification exam
and aid all sport scientists in acquiring and using the best
available evidence-at the right time, in the right environment, and
for the right individual-to maximize their performance.
