Strength Training for Track & Field

By John Cissik, M.S, C.S.C.S

It's all here, the how, why, what, where and when of strength training for track & field - from an expert on the forefront of conditioning science. The book is divided into two main parts. First Cissik tells you how to perform each exercise: the power clean, the power snatch, the back squat, the split jerk and various upper and lower body exercises - all clearly illustrated. Part two presents suggested detailed programs for each track & field event category: Sprints and hurdles, jumps, throws, multi-events and endurance events. There are specific strength development programs for both beginners (high school) and intermediates (advanced high school and college), all laid out over the periodized year.
