Increase Your Strength Training Knowledge With Fitness Books

In the 21st century people are aware of the importance of fitness and are curious to know more about it. Fitness books provide useful information like different types of exercises, health tips, benefits of particular type of exercises etc in a precise and compact manner. These books are usually written by experts who are well known in the fitness industry and are eager to share their knowledge with the rest of the world.

Here are some of our favorite fitness books:

Strength and Conditioning Secrets of The World's Greatest Fighters written by John Saylor is ideal for those who are associated with cardiovascular exercises. In addition it is ideal for those who are interested in improving their strength, speed and flexibility. John Saylor had gained reputation for being a world class judo expert. He was the member of a number of U.S. Judo teams and won a number of championships like National Collegiate Championship (1974), Pan American Judo Championship (1976, 1979). He took a great interest in learning new tactics and now he had revealed all the secrets that he had painfully accumulated over the years in this book.

Another fitness book that should find a place in your bookshelf is Science and Practice of Strength Training. This book provides necessary information for training athletes. Dr. Vladimir Zatsiorsky –original author of the book has been joined by Dr. William Kraemer in the 2nd edition of Science and Practice of Strength Training. In this new edition Dr. William Kraemer has written three informative chapters that focus separately on athletes who have started out new, women and senior athletes. Both the authors have rich experiences of training over 1000 high profile athletes including Olympic champions, world champions as well as record holders and national champions. The unique fact about this fitness book is the authors not only take into account of North American point of view but also Eastern Europe perspective. They have applied all these experiences in various sections of the book.

Fitness experts always state that everybody must have a personalized exercise routine. This book, too, follows this principle and tries to show that a particular fitness program may not be suitable for everyone. In fact it says that as a person moves through different stages of life the fitness programs should also be modified accordingly.

Strength training programs can be pretty complicated; especially for a newcomer and this book makes an attempt to make the readers understand the basic concepts in a lucid and simple style. The authors have made it sure that all the information are current and updated so that the readers get a glimpse of the latest fitness trends. The examples that have been provided in the book will help the readers to understand the concepts more easily and effectively.

To promote better understanding, the book is divided into 3 sections. Part one concentrates on topics like athlete-specific strength, basics of strength training, task-specific strength etc. In part two the readers will get to know about fitness goals, intensity of training programs, importance of timing, how to prevent injury while exercising. In part 3, the reader will get to know about training programs that are meant for particular populations.

Sport and Exercise Nutrition $61.99 Now widely adopted on courses throughout the world, the prestigious Nutrition Society Textbook series provides students with the scientific basics in nutrition in the context of a systems and disease approach rather than on a nutrient by nutrient basis. In addition books provide a means to enable teachers and students to explore the core principles of nutrition and to apply these throughout their training to foster critical thinking at all times. This NS Textbook on Sport and Exercise Nutrition has been written to cover the latest information on the science and practice of sport and exercise nutrition. A key concept behind this textbook is that it aims to combine the viewpoints of world leading nutrition experts from both academia/research and a practical stand point. Plus where necessary there are additional practitioner based authors to ensure theory is translated into practice for each chapter in the form of either ‘practice tips' or ‘information sheets' at the end of relevant chapters. The textbook in essence can be divided into three distinct but integrated parts: Part 1: covers the key components of the science that supports the practice of sport and exercise nutrition including comprehensive reviews on: nutrients both in general and as exercise fuels; exercise physiology; hydration, micronutrients; and supplements. Part 2: moves into focusing on specific nutrition strategies to support different types of training including: resistance; power/sprint; middle distance/speed endurance; endurance; technical/skill, team; and specific competition nutrition needs. The unique format of this textbook is that it breaks down nutrition support into training specific as opposed to the traditional sport specific support. This reflects the majority of current sport and exercise requirements of the need to undertake concurrent training and therefore facilitating targeted nutrition support to the different training components through the various macro and micro training cycles. Part 3: explores some of the practical issues encountered in working in the sport and exercise nutrition field and includes key sport related topics such as: disability sport; weight management; eating disorders; bone and gut health; immunity; injury; travel; and special populations and situations. READERSHIP: Students of nutrition and dietetics at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. All those working in the field of nutrition and related health sciences.

Dictionary of Sport and Exercise Science $12.99 The best value sports science book on the market.

Exercise Biochemistry - 1st Edition (Book) $91.95 Exercise Biochemistry brings an admittedly difficult and technical subject to life. Extremely user- and student-friendly, it is written in conversational style by Vassilis Mougios, who poses and then answers questions as if in conversation with a student. Mougios does an excellent job of making the information interesting by using simple language without compromising scientific accuracy and content. He also uses ample analogies, related works of art, and numerous illustrations to drive home his points for readers.The result is that Exercise Biochemistry is a highly informative and illuminating text on the effects of exercise on molecular-level functioning. It presents the basics of biochemistry as well as in-depth coverage of exercise biochemistry. The book uses key terms, sidebars, and questions and problems posed at the end of each chapter to facilitate learning. It also covers metabolism, endocrinology, and assessment all in one volume, unlike other exercise biochemistry books.In exploring all of these topics, Exercise Biochemistry makes the case for exercise biochemistry to have a stand-alone textbook. In fact, this book will encourage more universities to introduce exercise biochemistry courses to their curricula. Having the necessary topics of basic biochemistry in a single volume will facilitate the work of both instructors and students.Exercise Biochemistry will also be useful to graduate students in sport science who have not been formally introduced to exercise biochemistry during their undergraduate programs. Additionally, it can supplement exercise physiology textbooks with its coverage of the molecular basis of physiological processes. This book is also for physical education and sport professionals who have an interest in how the human body functions during and after exercise. And this book is addressed to health scientists who are interested in the transformations in human metabolism brought about by physical activity.The book is organized in four parts. Part I introduces readers to biochemistry basics, including chapters on metabolism, proteins, nucleic acids and gene expression, and carbohydrates and lipids. Part II consists of two chapters that explore neural control of movement and muscle contraction. The essence of the book is found in part III, which details exercise metabolism in its six chapters. Included are chapters on carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism in exercise; compounds of high phosphoryl transfer potential; effe
