Synopsis

Books on core training typically promise six-pack abs or trimmer waistlines. Conditioning to the Core takes a different approach and while an aesthetically pleasing abdominal region can be a consequence but a torso trained for high-level sport performance is the main objective. Fullcolour anatomical artwork and demonstration photos further inform readers on developing the most functional athletic core. Conditioning to the Core includes the most effective assessment tools and proven training programmes, complete with sport specific examples, tips and applications for football, basketball swimming, distance running and more. This title shows you how to hone a high performance athletic torso.
