Rezensionen
"Because of the vast amount of scientific research cited throughout to support its claims, this is a good alternative to a basic strength and conditioning book. It is appropriate for students in the field of strength and conditioning who are interested in learning mechanistically about the field as opposed to merely its practical applications. " (Doody's, 16 September 2011)

"Certainly fitness trainers could benefit from the information, but coverage encompasses the hard science of muscle, neuromuscular, bone, tendon, respiratory physiology, and the details of biomechanics, adaptations, monitoring, and laboratory and field assessment methods." (Book News, 1 March 2011)
