    Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2018
    Absolutely a recommended source for anyone involved in the sports performance field. Basically comparing and contrasting multiple peer reviewed articles across a broad spectrum of exercise physiology and sports performance subjects. I will add that you need a very good understanding of exercise physiology and the terminology used to stay on task with the book.

    The package arrived in bad condition, on the other hand, the product description indicated that the product was new when even because of the state in which the book was leaving much to be desired. The packaging of terrible quality.
    Likewise, because of the material used in the manufacture of the product I leave in doubt its origin, I do not think it is an original product.

    Non l'ho ancora finito, ma il libro porta un sacco di spunti interessanti e evidence-based.
    Non è una lettura scorrevole per via delle frequenti citazioni, ma questo è il prezzo da pagare per la qualità delle evidenze riportate.

    I bought this book as I was looking for a comprehensive explanation on stiffness in the athletic population. This book does not disappoint, writing for my Msc I was able to reference this, and information on other topics that are covered extensively in this great text. I have a large collection of books on athletic development, coaching and S&C, this however, is one that I have picked up nearly every day since purchase.

    A very well put together, researched, evidenced based txt, that is a must have for any aspiring S&C coach or trainer that is involved with athletes at any level.

    I bought this along with another book by Brett Bartholomew      Conscious Coaching: The Art and Science of Building Buy-In

    Thanks
