Product Description
Sports conditioning has advanced tremendously since the era when a "no pain, no gain" philosophy guided the training regimens of athletes. Dr. Tudor Bompa pioneered most of these breakthroughs, proving long ago that it's not only how much and how hard an athlete works but also when and what work is done that determines the athlete's conditioning level.
In "Periodization Training for Sports," Bompa demonstrates how to use periodized workouts in order to peak at optimal times by manipulating six different training phases: anatomical adaptation, hypertrophy, maximum strength, conversion to power, maintenance, and transition. Coaches and athletes in 32 sports have at their fingertips a proven program that is sure to produce the best results. No more guessing about preseason conditioning, in-season workloads, or appropriate rest and recovery periods; now it's simply a matter of identifying and implementing the information in this book.
Presented in a useful format with plenty of ready-made training schedules, "Periodization Training for Sports" is your best conditioning planner if you want to know what works, why it works, and when it works in the training room and on the practice field. Get in better shape next season, and see the benefits of smarter workouts in competition.

First off it should be noted that the book should really be called "Periodisation of strength training for sport", as periodisation of an endurance training component is not really considered unless it is as a weights/resistance endurance training component (that is to say any endurance component actually performing the action of an endurance sport, e.g. running, rowing, is not considered).
That is not to detract from the value of this book or criticise it, but the agenda presented by this book is on strength/power/power endurance training by means of resistance work, i.e. weight training. While microcycles are considered, most weight is given to considering the macrocycle over a yearly development plan, through different stages of strength training. The steps of adaptation, muscular hypertrophy training, maximum strength training, power training and muscular endurance are considered and explained in detail, along with their dependency and relationship to each other, and the relevance of each type of training to particular sports.
Well worth the purchase.

This is a good book tells you everything you really need to know about the periodisation of training. The only improvement to this would be more information about the peridoisation of aerobic and anaerobic training programs, however this is a very informative book in terms of weight training for athletes in all sports.

Immense
Whilst it's not cheap, the detail within this book is extraordinary. If you are taking a sports science based degree, for example, then it's an item you don't want to be without.

Essential
I fully agree with the review from 29/11/2000 so I will not repeat anything there. This is essential reading if you are serious about sport, as an athlete or coach. Read more
