Performance Assessment in Strength and Conditioning (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Comfort, Paul; McMahon, John J.; Jones, Paul A.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Performance Assessment in Strength and Conditioning is the first textbook to clearly and coherently suggest the most appropriate and reliable methods for assessing and monitoring athletes' performance, as well as including detailed sections on testing considerations and the interpretation and application of results.

The book explores the full range of considerations required to reliably assess performance, including questions of ethics and safety, reliability and validity, and standardised testing, before going on to recommend (through a comparison of field- and laboratory-based techniques) the optimal methods for testing all aspects of physical performance. It is an essential text for upper-level strength and conditioning students and practitioners, alike.
