Synopsis

Sport and exercise science is a development which has emerged from research in the physical, biological, behavioural, social and medical sciences. The knowledge base within the field of sport science has increased over the past 20 years to cater for the specific needs of the total spectrum of athletic endeavour, including children and adolescents, disabled, the social participant, and the accomplished performer. This book applies sports science research knowledge to the attainment of high levels of sports performance through training. While "raw" athletic talent is the most important factor in the attainment of high levels of sport performance, coaching based on sound sport science principles is also an essential quality if this talent is to be fully developed. In the book, international experts review and discuss essential factors that collectively can determine the level of performance achieved. It covers the training of perceptual-motor skills; the psychological factors that enable an athlete to compete successfully; using appropriate techniques for the relevant sport; physical characteristics of the athlete; and attaining and maintaining levels of fitness.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Training in Sport reviews important developments in sport science research and demonstrates how the latest sport science principles can be adapted to safely enhance the performance of an athlete or prospective athlete. While acknowledging the importance of ?raw athletic talent?, expert contributors from a variety of scientific disciplines discuss the components that can collectively contribute to high–level sport performance. These include:

The training of perceptual–motor skills

The development of a psychological approach to mental skills training

The analysis and development of technique

The development of physical capacities (strength, power, speed and flexibility).

Aerobic and anaerobic training

The accessible style and multi–disciplinary approach of Training in Sport will appeal to anyone interested in the development of sport skills, including sport scientists, coaches, athletes, and students of sport science, physical education, and health sciences.
