Description

A lot of scientific sport assessment books can be difficult to understand, time-consuming to implement and provide data that is difficult to analyse. Assessments for Sport and Athletic Performance effectively solves those problems. The perfect resource for coaches and fitness professionals, this guide features everything you need to know about assessing sport performance. It teaches you how to identify correct tests for individuals and teams, as well as how to adjust training programmes based on the results. For every assessment, the text includes a step-by-step process and a script of directions for you to give to the client to ensure tests are being performed correctly. You'll also find a variety of protocols that don't require complicated equipment and that can be conducted in your normal training environment. Assessments for Sport and Athletic Performance takes the guesswork out of determining which tests to use and what equipment is needed. It equips you with the tools needed to help your athletes and clients achieve success.
