Description and Table of Contents
Description
Strength training is vital in the development of high school and college football players, as many of them are still physically maturing. Luckily, Strength Training for Football gives strength and conditioning coaches the tools needed to help players excel on the field. The book provides a biomechanical analysis of football and a physical and performance analysis of the 6 groups of football positions. This allows coaches to create an effective training programme for each based on positional demands and differences. A comprehensive text, it includes 12 detailed protocols to test players’ strength, power, speed, agility, endurance and anaerobic capacity. These protocols allow to reliably and objectively test their athletes and evaluate their performance. Also included are 10 total body, 20 lower body and 25 upper body resistance training exercises. As well as 15 anatomical core resistance training exercises. Written by experts chosen by the NSCA, this essential guide provides 79 sample resistance training programmes. It also includes tools for designing your own training programmes based on the season, position and level of athlete. Strength Training for Football is your go-to guide for to creating football-specific resistance training programmes to help the athlete optimise strength and successfully transfer that strength to the field.
