Speed and agility are central to success in a wide range of
sports. Training for Sports Speed and Agility is the first
evidence-based study of all those aspects of athletic preparation
that contribute to the expression of speed and agility during
competition.
Drawing on the very latest scientific research in the fields of
strength and conditioning, applied physiology, biomechanics, sports
psychology, and sports medicine, the book critically examines
approaches to training for speed and agility. This book further
explores the scientific rationale for all aspects of effective
training to develop sports speed and agility, comprising a diverse
range of topics that include:
- Assessment
- Strength training for speed and agility development
- Speed-strength development and plyometric training
- Metabolic conditioning
- Mobility and flexibility
- Acceleration
- Straight-line speed development
- Developing change of direction capabilities
- Developing expression of agility during competition
- Periodisation
Every chapter includes a review of current research as well as
offering clear, practical guidelines for improving training and
performance, including photographs illustrating different training
modes and techniques. No other book offers a comparable blend of
theory and practice. Training for Sports Speed and Agility is
therefore crucial reading for all students, coaches and athletes
looking to improve their understanding of this key component of
sports performance.
