      abstract = {"Strength and Conditioning offers a concise but  comprehensive overview of training for athletic  performance. Introducing essential theory and practical  techniques in all of the core areas of athletic training,  the book clearly demonstrates how to apply fundamental  principles in putting together effective real-world  training programs. While some established textbooks rely on  established but untested conventional wisdom, this book  encourages students and professionals to think critically  about their work and to adopt an evidence-based approach.  It is the only introductory strength and conditioning  textbook to properly explain the interdependence of aspects  of training such as needs analysis, assessment, injury,  competition level, athlete age and program design, and the  only book to fully explain how those aspects should be  integrated.No other textbook offers such an accessible,  engaging and reflective introduction to the theory and  application of strength and conditioning programs.  Including clear step-by-step guidance, suggestions for  further reading, and detailed sport-specific examples, this  is the perfect primer for any strength and conditioning  course or for any professional trainer or coach looking to  refresh their professional practice"--Provided by  publisher.},
