5.0 out of 5 stars
Great starting point, February 12, 2011
This review is from: The Physiology of Training: Advances in Sport and Exercise Science series, 1e (Paperback)
This book does not go into great detail into any of the specific areas of physiology of training, but what it does do is give a good introduction into the basics and also provides great suggestions for further reading if you do need more info. The latter - being well referenced - is something I value more and more as I move forward in my career.
This series of books (from the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences) was suggested to me by a friend and former colleague and I am glad I picked up a copy. The main purpose of the series is for undergraduate courses, but I also could see them being useful for coaches looking to learn about the scientific principles behind training. It is logically laid out, the author list is excellent, and the contents is balanced. If you are a strength and conditioning coach or sports coach interested in evidence-based practice then you should check it out.
