About the Book

Women's sport in general has gained an increasingly higher profile and level of respect in recent years, and it is becoming acknowledged that a female athlete's training programmes will differ in several respects from that of their male counterparts. Despite this, there is a dearth of research evidence available to coaches and athletes to guide the planning and programming process, with limited comparisons of training adaptations between the genders and in particular, a lack of investigation into elite female performers. Strength and Conditioning for Female Athletes contains insights from experts in this specialised area. The text outlines specifically what is and isn't known regarding female athlete development, and exposes gaps that currently exist in the academic literature. Topics include: . Needs analysis . Programme design for the basic biomotor abilities . Speed and agility . Long-term athlete development . The menstrual cycle . Gender-specific injuries . The coaching process SELLING POINTS: . Essential reading for all sports scientists, coaches and trainers of female athletes. . Contributions from various experts specialising in strength and conditioning for female athletes. . Packed full of information covering programme design and needs analysis; strength and power; the menstrual cycle; gender-specific injuries and much, much more. . Fully illustrated with 61 colour and black & white diagrams. . Keith Barker and Debby Sargent are tutors and assessors for the UK Strength and Conditioning Association (UKSCA).
