Endurance Training - Science and Practice (2nd edition)

145,00 €

2nd edition, hard cover, 469 pages.

Foreword by Kilian Jornet.

Endurance Training - Science and Practice is a comprehensive and accessible guide for exercise and sport scientists, students, coaches and athletes who want to know all the intricacies of preparing for and adapting to endurance activity. This second edition is essentially a completely new book that represents a substantial advance in knowledge and practical experience, and reflects the growth of the field since the publication of the original edition in 2012.

This fully revised and updated second edition of Endurance Training – Science and Practice represents a substantial step forward in knowledge and practical experience, and reflects the growth of the field since the publication of the original edition in 2012. Improved scientific understanding is translated to advice that can have a meaningful impact on endurance training practice. This new book is a comprehensive and accessible guide for exercise and sport scientists, students, coaches and athletes who want to know all the important principles of preparing for and adapting to endurance activity. With an improved design and format, this book provides a broad base of knowledge and serves as an in-depth resource for all those involved in research and practice of endurance sports, the fitness industry or health promotion.

This second edition benefits from the collective theoretical knowledge, practical insights and expertise of 68 international contributors. This group comprises academics and successful sport science and coaching practitioners directly involved with endurance athletes on a daily basis. The book covers all the scientific and practical aspects of endurance training and performance: the physiological determinants of endurance capacity; training design to optimize endurance performance and avoid undesirable outcomes including detraining and overtraining; the adaptations that endurance training induces in the major systems of the body; nutritional and psychological recommendations for optimal endurance training and racing; advice on working with female, young, and Paralympic endurance athletes, as well as team-sport athletes; dealing with stressful environmental conditions; and medical issues related to endurance training and competition.

The systematic approach followed in the second edition of Endurance Training – Science and Practice makes this book invaluable to all athletes, coaches, researchers and practitioners involved in endurance training.

What’s New in the Second Edition

The second edition of Endurance Training − Science and Practice is essentially a completely new book: ten of the original chapters have been written by 18 new authors, and nine other chapters have benefitted from the input of 13 new coauthors.

The nine chapters written by the same original authors have been either completely rewritten or thoroughly revised and updated.

In addition, the book contains a number of new chapters, including:

  • Chapter 18. Endurance Training and Athlete Immune Health.
  • Chapter 24. The Female Endurance Athlete.
  • Chapter 26. The Paralympic Endurance Athlete.
  • Chapter 27. Endurance Training for Team-Sport Athletes.

Most importantly, the majority of the 68 contributors are not only prestigious academics, but also successful sport science and coaching practitioners directly involved with endurance athletes on a daily basis. This book benefits from their collective theoretical and practical insights, and hard-earned real-world experience.
