High-Performance Training for Sports by David Joyce

High Performance Training for Sports is predicted to become the most comprehensive sports training manual for dedicated strength and conditioning practitioners and athletes and coaches looking to expand their knowledge on how to develop and optimise human performance and athletic capacity. The book is filled with not only the best and most current research but more importantly, the practical application arising from the research is explained and emphasised through a large variety of programme and exercise prescriptions. Each topic is addressed by a world renowned expert in a specific component of sports conditioning. All chapters will be filled with facts, findings, insights and training prescriptions for enhancing each component of athletic performance. Ten carefully selected chapters are augmented by case studies and interviews with coaches of some the biggest teams/athletes from around the world. This will not only adds depth to the text but enhances the readers' knowledge and understanding of how the most up-to-date science is interpreted and manipulated to create some of the world's best sports performers.
