ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF STRENGTH
AND CONDITIONING
Drawing on the latest scientific research, this handbook introduces the essentials of sport-
specific strength and conditioning programme design for over 30 different sports. Enhanced
by extensive illustrations and contributions from more than 70 world-leading experts, its
chapters present evidence-based best practice for sports including football, rugby, tennis, hockey,
basketball, rowing, boxing, golf, swimming, cycling and weightlifting, as well as a variety of
wheelchair sports.
Every chapter introduces the fundamental requirements of a particular sport – such as the
physiological and biomechanical demands on the athlete – and describes a sport-specific fitness
testing battery and exercise programme. Additional chapters cover the adaptation of programme
design for special populations, including female athletes, young athletes and athletes with a
disability. Drawing on the experiences of Olympic and Paralympic coaches and trainers, it offers
original insights and practical advice from practitioners working at the highest level.
Innovative, comprehensive and truly international in scope, the R outledge Handbook of Strength
and Conditioning is vital reading for all strength and conditioning students and an invaluable
reference for strength and conditioning coaches and trainers.
Anthony Turner is the Director of Postgraduate Programmes at the London Sport Institute,
