Description

A Practical Guide to Personal Conditioning (2nd Ed.) is a concise yet comprehensive resource that connects the science of exercise and nutrition with real-world applications to sport and human performance.

Much of the information presented in A Practical Guide to Personal Conditioning (2nd Ed.) was compiled from numerous exercise physiology texts, peer-reviewed journal articles, and professional seminars and conferences. It also includes information that came from the thousands of hours spent by the authors in the gym, on the track, and in the classroom while training their clients, their students, and themselves.

Although designed as a textbook for undergraduate courses in human performance and/ or basic personal conditioning, the information and recommendations provided herein are equally beneficial for health & wellness enthusiasts interested in “upping their game” or the layperson seeking credible guidance without the need for a personal trainer or dietician. The information and concepts presented in the text have been broken down to make them easy to understand and applicable to everyone.

A Practical Guide to Personal Conditioning (2nd Ed.) includes a range of features to help readers improve retention and engagement with the content. For example, the text includes the following:

  • The easy-to-use Table of Contents and comprehensive Glossary allow students to quickly find information and training recommendations on topics relevant to them.
  • Each chapter begins with Learning Objectives highlighting critical points.
  • Frequently Asked Questions boxes are located throughout the text to address basic questions about exercise programming and nutritional planning.
  • Each chapter ends with an Assessment and Application section, which begins with a bulleted Summary of the chapter.
  • Dozens of charts, graphs, tables, figures, color photographs, and illustrations to ensure various concepts are properly conveyed for better understanding and retention.
