The Complete Guide to Sports Training

The Complete Guide to Sports Training is the definitive

practical resource for anyone wishing to improve their performance and

for coaches looking to get the best out of their athletes. It

demystifies sports science and provides athletes and coaches with the

basic building blocks they need to maximise performance. Starting with

the basics and progressing to the specific elements all athletes need -

speed, endurance and power - this invaluable handbook explains the

theory in simple, easy-to-understand terms before discussing the most

effective training methods and techniques, as well as giving guidance

on developing a training plan, sports psychology and training younger

and older athletes. This is the first time such a wealth of sports

science knowledge has been available in one book and written in such an

accessible style, and should become the sports training handbook for

athletes, coaches and sports science students.
