The field of strength and conditioning is growing and changing rapidly.  This new fourth edition of Conditioning for Strength and Human Performance updates the reader with new developments in the field and focuses on the information a strength and conditioning coach needs to be informed and successful. 

With a new flow of chapters and modifications to existing chapters, the topics are organized to be relevant and useful to all readers.  Providing balanced content to meet the needs of the professor and the student in the field of strength and conditioning, this book is designed for an academic class in strength and conditioning in the final year of an undergraduate program or the first year of a graduate program.  No other book provides such a thorough grounding in the science of strength and conditioning or better prepares students for evidence-based practice.

The book is easy to implement for instructors and written to be understandable to the student of strength and conditioning.  Students are provided access to PowerPoint slides, key points, case examples, discussion questions, real-world applications, and other ancillary material.  In addition, instructors are provided exam questions and other ancillary materials.
