Science and practice of strength training

This book is an essential resource for those serious about optimizing their strength training programs.

It is divided into three parts: Part I focuses on the basis of strength training, including training theory, task-specific strength, and athlete-specific strength.

Part II covers methods of strength training, such as training intensity, timing, exercise selection, and injury prevention.

Part III explores training strategies for specific populations, including women, young athletes, and senior athletes.

The authors, with their combined experience of training over 1,000 elite athletes, integrate Eastern European and North American perspectives to provide a thorough understanding of the science behind effective strength development.
