STRENGTH AND POWER IN SPORT is the second edition of Volume III of the IOC Medical Committee's superb "Encyclopaedia of Sports Medicine" series. As stated in its preface, "While it is very easy to demonstrate improvement of muscle strength with almost any method (if sufficiently intensive), the present volume … examines the basic mechanisms and reasons for beneficial strength exercises. In order to give state-of-the-art information … a great portion of the book is devoted to the basics of strength and power and their adaptation." The book's 25 chapters are distributed into 5 sections: - Definitions. - Biological basis for strength and power. - Mechanisms for adaptation in strength and power training. - Special problems in strength and power training. - Strength and power training for sports. The team of 39 contributing authors includes prominent scientists and practitioners, all of whom have established themselves as leaders in their field.
