Sports Power

By David Sandler

Book Overview

Optimal power--the ideal combination of speed and strength--is the difference between a good athlete and a great athlete. Sports Power provides all the tools to build sport-specific power and allow you to attain the highest level of performance.

Every sport has unique power demands. Whether it's explosive running and jumping, a quick burst out of the starting block, or contacting and moving an opponent, developing the right proportion of strength and speed is crucial to optimizing athletic power. With the revolutionary speed-strength-power continuum in Sports Power, you can determine the ideal mix of strength-based and speed-based power required for your sport.

Four to six week training programs designed for maximum results may be applied as presented or customized to individual needs using the seven-step program design process. Training exercises combine resistance training, plyometrics, speed drills, and cutting-edge power development techniques.

Train to excel in your sport. Every workout with Sports Power will put you another step ahead of the competition.

sports power

this is a sports conditioning book,true.but I have used a lot of these programs in my rehab from a stroke to great benefit as an all around functionality program to great benefit.

Great book

Was very impressed at how fast this item came and what shape it was in.

if you're a power athlete, this book is a must have

If you play power-based sports or like to train with power/explosive or max strength exercises this book is a must have to learn about how to build and structure an effective and efficient workout program. I've had the opportunity to take a few education workshops on developing speed, power and explosive exercise sessions with Dave and they've been awesome
