A skilled sport scientist and coach must possess a deep understanding of both the underlying mechanisms and the practical application of training principles. Strength and Conditioning in Sports: From Science to Practice stands out as a unique resource in that it comprehensively addresses both these domains. This textbook seamlessly bridges the gap between mechanism and practical application.

Selecting the most effective training approach is of paramount importance in achieving success in competitive sports. A significant aspect of this textbook is the detailed explanations provided for developing an annual plan, selecting the appropriate periodization model, and how to program that model effectively.

In practice, connecting physiology to performance can be enhanced through the use of appropriate athlete monitoring techniques. While there may be some overlap, monitoring can be divided into two main components: fatigue management and program efficacy. This text offers an in-depth description of the appropriate monitoring process and how monitoring data can be utilized in the application of programs.

This exciting new text offers a comprehensive overview of the application of science to sport, making it an essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students specializing in strength and conditioning, athletic training, exercise physiology, human performance, personal training, and other related disciplines within the field of sport science and kinesiology.
