Synopsis:

NSCA's Guide to Tests and Assessments offers strength and conditioning professionals research-based exercise tests and assessments to measure key fitness components. It is an exceptional reference for practising professionals and a valuable educational resource for students. Beginning with an introduction to testing, data analysis and formulating conclusions, the text then provides a chapter by chapter presentation of tests and assessments for body composition, heart rate and blood pressure, metabolic rate, aerobic power, lactate threshold, muscular strength, muscular endurance, power, speed and agility, mobility and balance, and stability. Armed with multiple test options for each key fitness component, readers can select the most suitable for their athletes in order to achieve their performance objectives.

Review:

"This book takes an aggressive, holistic approach to the longstanding profession of strength and conditioning. The authors make a first-rate effort to move the profession of strength and conditioning forward into a new realm of expertise as professionals in the business of getting athletes to perform beyond their own expectations."
