Fit for Sport

Whatever your current fitness level, Fit for Sport is like having your own personal trainer. Aimed at novice and experienced players alike, it covers the whole range of sport, from volleyball and basketball to running, tennis, and swimming. There are chapters on aerobic training, weight training, and flexibility training; plyometrics to develop power, acceleration, and jump height; team, racquet, and individual sports; as well as nutrition and injury. Along with sport-specific training programs and step-by-step, illustrated exercises, the book includes self-assessment tests, health and lifestyle questionnaires, and charts to monitor and record progress. Always encouraging but never pushing you further than is safe, Fit for Sport is a book for active men and women of all ages and levels.
