4.0 out of 5 starsWell done.
By Amazon Customer on March 30, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
What is there to read has a nice flow to it so you don't get bored, however, there are a ton of pictures of the actual movements which is great also! As it is a book for class, it's not as fun as if it was something I just want to keep as reference.

2.0 out of 5 starsA wealth of information, yet extremely poor presentation
By Chris Gatti on April 17, 2016
Format: Hardcover
This was one of the most frustrating textbooks that I have ever read, and getting through it was a chore. While the editors had a difficult challenge of trying to present a ton of information, and while there truly is a wealth of quality information in this book, the presentation of this content is extremely poor and makes for difficult learning. The authors/editors took relatively simple training philosophies (which are well-established and proven, by the way), and made them complex and presented them in a confusing manner. Some of the deficiencies of this text include:

• The text is very rough and redundant, where notes and sentence are mentioned multiple times within the same section or chapter, though with slightly different words. In fact, you can tell which chapters the editors wrote based on the structure and content of the chapters and sections. I realize that the authors/editors want to drive home certain points, but using a more pointed writing style would have made the text more concise and understandable.
• Grouping and categorizing concepts would make reading and comprehension a lot easier. As it is now, this book reads like you are drinking from a firehose, where information is thrown at you with many different ideas at once, and with little structure behind it, and this is not ideal for learning.
• The material could be placed better within the book and chapters. Just as one example, muscle structure/function and neurophysiology could be placed in the chapter that covers anatomy, rather than in the chapter on flexibility.
• Some concepts or terms are not clearly defined in the text and they leave the reader with some ambiguity of their true meaning.Read more ›
