| Science
and Practice of Strength Training - A reader writes: Excellent
book exploring many facets of strength training. The author has
an extraordinary grasp of both the theory and practice of strength
training. It is not, however, for those frightened of a bit of
science. One of the more enlightening aspects is his explanation
of the relationship between force and speed and the consequences
of coaches failing to understand that relationship. Zatsiorsky
has a depth of knowledge related to the strength requirements
for many sports and activities gained from his many years experience
in the former Soviet Union. This is probably the best book I
have yet read relating to strength training. |
