Athletic Strength for Women

Speed. Strength. Power. Agility. Quickness. Balance. Control. These athletic attributes often mean the difference between excelling in your sport and merely participating. Athletic Strength for Women is the first training manual to address the specific physiological, biomechanical, and anatomical needs of female athletes. More than 120 targeted exercises and drills are provided to improve * throwing, striking, swinging, and other upper-body skills; * starting, stopping, jumping, cutting, turning, pivoting, and other lower-body maneuvers; and * overall power and speed. In-season, off-season, and preseason programs are included for the most popular sports. General fitness and sport-specific performance tests are accompanied by normative tables that enable athletes to gauge their strengths and weaknesses against those of their peers and to set improvement goals. No matter what your sport, prepare your body to perform at full potential while avoiding injuries. The programs in Athletic Strength for Women will help you achieve a new level of athleticism.Oliver, David is the author of 'Athletic Strength for Women', published 2005 under ISBN 9780736046329 and ISBN 0736046321.
