The scope and content of Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning, Fourth Edition With Web Resource, have been updated to convey the knowledge, skills, and abilities required of a strength and conditioning professional and to address the latest information found on the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) exam.

Key points, chapter objectives, and learning aids including key terms and self-study questions provide a structure to help students and professionals conceptualize the information and reinforce fundamental facts.

    • l'ebook ne fonctionne pas très bien

    Livre complet et complet, doit bien sûr aussi car c'est le travail standard pour le cours NSCA CSCS. Beaucoup de matériel supplémentaire disponible via Internet. Cependant, l'e-book ne fonctionne pas parfaitement sur tous les appareils, il est fait pour la lecture sur une tablette, sur le PC et la liseuse les tableaux et figures manquent.
