review 1: It's funny to review a textbook but I find myself referring back to this time and again more for testing and assessments, rather than exercises. I will always be critical of how much the NSCA hides behind science and research rather than asserting actual recommendations on anything beyond the basics.I would recommend a NSCA CSCS certification to anyone who aspires to be a future Strength and Conditioning Coach in athletics. Trainers of any other specialty should seek out NASM certification and pursuing FMS and other functional-focused competencies as affordable.
review 2: A very good read overall. Quite comprehensive and up to date. The periodization chapter was weak. If that is your primary interest, I would not choose this book. The text goes over muscu... morelar, neuro and endocrine physiology related to fitness training, training adaptations, testing and evaluation, periodization, program design etc. For anyone who wants to make more research-based decisions on how to put together an anaerobic or aerobic training program, this is the book. less
