In Athletic Development, world-renowned strength and conditioning coach Vern Gambetta condenses the wisdom he's gained through more than 40 years of experience working with athletes across many sports, age groups, and levels of competition. The result is an information-packed explanation of the most effective methods and prescriptions for each facet of an athlete's physical preparation, including • sport-specific demands analysis, • work capacity enhancements, • movement skills development, • long- and short-term training program progressions, and • rest and regeneration techniques. Athletic Development explains what works, what doesn't, and why. Gambetta's no-nonsense approach emphasizes results that reflect his work at the highest echelons of sport. Merging principles of anatomy, biomechanics, and exercise physiology with sports conditioning applications and four decades of professional practice, this is the definitive guide to performance-enhancing training.
