excellent text for strength and conditioning April 21, 2008

Conditioning for Strength and Human Performance is an excellent reference for both practioners and researchers in the field. The basic science sections are very well organized and written. I was very impressed with the way difficult material was explained in a clear and easy to understand fashion. The descriptions and instructional cues for various exercises were also very well done. Most importantly, the chapters on program design provide a wealth of information on exercise prescription. A worthy text in the library for anyone who works in the strength and conditioning field.
Absolutely Excellent!! April 21, 2008
