Synopsis

In this title, experts on strength training explore how to use scientific knowledge to develop personalized training programs. This text enables readers to: design scientifically sound resistance training programs; modify and adapt programs to meet the needs of special populations; and understand how exercise prescription design works in the real world. Features new to this edition include three chapters dedicated to resistance training issues and concerns for children, women, and seniors, including how to modify and adapt such programs to address the special needs and concerns for each group. Case studies use examples of exercise prescription design in real-life situations involving wrestling, personal fitness, and volleyball.
