- High-Performance Sports Conditioning
Today’s
athletes are breaking records that many thought were untouchable—in large part
due to the major advances in sports training. High-Performance Sports
Conditioning combines these superior modern methods with sample training
programs, workouts, and drills to serve as the only conditioning guide you’ll
need this season.
This landmark book presents the principles and practices of this new era of
athletic training in the most thorough and useful text ever of its kind. The
first step in building a conditioning program is testing and building up the
nine essential fitness components including power, strength, speed, quickness,
coordination, agility, flexibility, local muscular endurance, and cardiovascular
aerobic capacity and endurance. Next you tailor the training exercises and
drills to the development of sport-specific performance factors. Then you periodize the training program precisely for peak performance at critical points
in the competitive season, and if necessary, use a safe and effective
reconditioning regimen to bring an athlete back from injury.
High-Performance Sports Conditioning brings together 22 of the finest and
most respected contributors ever assembled for a sports conditioning guide. The
strength and conditioning coaches for the Cleveland Indians, Vancouver Canucks,
Miami Heat, Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Mutiny, United States Olympic Training
Center, and other top sports organizations share their best drills and workouts
for developing full athletic potential in 11 sports. Internationally acclaimed
experts such as Don Chu on power, Mark Verstegen on coordination and agility,
and Tudor Bompa on periodization provide the very best information and insights
in their respective areas of training.
The revolutionary training system found in High-Performance Sports
Conditioning reveals the future of athletic strength and conditioning and
will be the training bible for coaches and athletes for many seasons to come.
