Science and Practice of Strength Training is a favorite book among
strength and conditioning professionals. Now in a third edition, it
offers upgraded artwork, updates based on current science, and new
information to enhance the practical application of the concepts
presented. A new coauthor, Dr. Andrew Fry, joins the
already-popular author team of Dr. Vladimir Zatsiorsky and Dr.
William Kraemer to make this third edition even better than its
predecessors. Together the authors have trained more than 1,000
elite athletes, including Olympic medal winners, world champions,
and national record holders. Influenced by both Eastern European
and North American perspectives, their experience and expertise are
integrated into solid principles, practical insights, and
directions based on scientific findings. Science and Practice of
Strength Training, Third Edition, shows that there is no single
program that works for everyone, at all times and in all
conditions. It addresses the complexity of strength training
programs while providing straightforward approaches to take under
specific circumstances. Those approaches are backed with
physiological concepts, ensuring readers gain a full understanding
of the science behind the practice of strength training. In
addition, the authors provide examples of strength training
programs to demonstrate the principles and concepts they explain in
the book. The third edition features more detailed artwork and has
three new chapters on velocity in the weight room, overtraining and
recovery, and athlete monitoring. The book is divided into three
parts. Part I focuses on the basis of strength training, detailing
basic concepts, task-specific strength, and athlete-specific
strength. Part II covers methods of strength training, delving into
velocity training, training intensity, timing, exercises used for
strength training, injury prevention, overtraining, athlete
monitoring, and goal-specific strength training. Part III offers
even more practical applications, exploring training for specific
populations, including women, young athletes, and senior athletes.
The book also includes suggested readings that can further aid
readers in developing strength training programs. This expanded and
updated coverage of strength training concepts will ground readers
in the understanding they need to develop appropriate strength
training programs for each person that they work with. Earn
continuing education credits/units! A continuing education exam
that uses this book is also available. It may be purchased
separately or as part of a package that includes both the book and
exam.
