Training for sport developed at a bewildering pace during the 1990s and left coaches and athletes struggling to keep up with all the theories on offer and then to apply the most effective ones to their daily training regimens. The contributors to this book are sports specialists keen to bridge the gap between laboratory findings and athlete preparation. They are all involved in the training and preparation of elite athletes, and their aim in writing this book has been to provide practical guidelines for developing and maintaining speed and endurance fitness for both individuals and team players. Areas covered include: exercise physiology essentials, speed training methods, endurance training methods, periodisation of speed and endurance, conditioning the team player, recovery training, nutrition for sports performance, and injury treatment and prevention. Training for speed and endurance should help you to make sense of all the new techniques and the latest research.

2.0 out of 5 stars
too general,
By ultimate frisbee player (nj, usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Training for Speed and Endurance (Paperback)
the book was too general to be helpful. although "training" touched on all of the subjects in which i was interested, it provided few specific details that would help me develop my own training program. the list of possible speed drills and exercises is basically limited to one page. additionally, exercises mentioned throughout the text are often not fully described anywhere. if you are a beginner (like i am) you will need another source to tailor a personal training schedule. and if you are past the beginner stage, i do not imagine this text will offer anything in the way of new information.

Too General,
By A Customer
This review is from: Training for Speed and Endurance (Paperback)
The book is much too general to be very helpful. Although it touched on all of the subjects in which I was intereseted, the book provided very few specific guidelines for developing a personal training schedule. The list of possible drills and exercises for speed is limited to basically one page. Additionally, many drills mentioned throughout the text are not fully explained. If you are a beginner (like I am) you will need another source to help build a personal program. You might as well avoid this book altogether. And if you are past the beginner stage, I do not imagine this text will offer much new information.
