This edition completes the book Training
Transfer in Sport. This book has far-reaching thoughts and ideas as well as
very practical information. It brings to light concrete examples of what is
involved in the development of sports form - a new concept in the acquisition
of the physical and technical qualities being trained for in a specific period
of time. In addition, there are extremely beneficial descriptions of different
exercises and classification of exercises within GPP and SPP as for example
general preparatory, general developmental, specialized preparatory,
specialized developmental and so on. Much of this information makes the
training all the more effective. Even though much of the material and many of
the examples relate to track and field, the information is applicable to all
sports. Strength, speed-strength, speed, power training and the benefits of
different exercises are the same regardless of sport. Applications of the
information presented in this book can be made to most any sport without any
major modifications. This book, that has over 200 pages, will be talked about
for many years by coaches looking for the latest and most beneficial
information on constructing and carrying out the best training programs. It is
the first time such information is being made available in the U.S.
