Science and Practice of Strength Training Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Zatsiorsky's book is a well presented foundation for learning the concepts behind strength training. The book is primarily directed towards a coach's perspective, but anyone can benefit from it.
The textbook layout is straightforward and includes data gathered from trained athletes. It begins with some basics of strength conditioning. Less knowledgable readers will benefit from these first chapters. The book then progresses to cover training, timing and exercising. Zatsiorsky includes some decent ideas about injury prevention as well.
Overall, it's not an excyclopedia with all the answers. The goal is not to provide generic routines for readers, but to provide the basis for readers to custom design their own routines. I've found this to be a very useful. My thanks to the author.
P.S. Thanks for your recommendation, Louie Simmons!

Children and Sports Training: How Your Future Champions Should Exercise to be Healthy, Fit, and Happy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)... Dr. Drabik has put together a masterpiece on children's development. This excellent book has practical wisdom as well as excellent drills that are easy to follow. I would encourage the author to include photos in the next publication -- this would give the book an even more effective educational appearance. I have found that the cover of the book was honest in terms of it's content -- very warm and caring.
As a parent as well as a coach of children's sports I found this book to contain excellent information that I can pass on to my clients in my fitness training business. May I encourage Dr. Drabik to come to the United States and do seminars with his excellent material that's contained in this book.
