5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely valuable work, 29 Nov 2000

By A Customer

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.
