This is truely a unique textbook on strenght and conditioning. Very complete, with an excellent structure and with every author who can possibly make a contribution on this field.

I would recommend this book to anyone working in strength and conditioning, especially those who would like to improve their background knowledge on this matter.

I think this is them most complete reference textbook on strength and conditioning which has been published so far: a new standard has definitely been set!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent resource 7 Feb 2011
By Dr Jason Lake
Format:Paperback
If you work in strength and conditioning - as a practitioner, researcher, or both - I highly recommend you purchase this book.
It is an excellent resource that covers pretty much anything you'll ever need to know about strength and conditioning, and the various fields that contribute to this process.
And, if you want to find out anything more about a particular area you'll find that it's supported by up to date research.
If you're interested in this field, get this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, written by some of the best researchers in the field 24 Sep 2012
By MVF
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Good also for MSc PhD and research students, this is a good adjourned "review" on the main important adaptations to strength training. Ideal for who works in the field and wants to have a solid knowledge of the topic and a helpful book for any post grad student/ researcher that needs to "refresh" his mind about morphological, architectural, functional, neural and molecular responses to resistance exercise.
