Can You Go?: Assessments and Program Design for the Active Athlete and Everybody Else

Více o knize

Training people in sport as a coach or in fitness as a personal trainer is certainly rewarding work. But, there's a problem: What do we do next? There are countless books on diet and exercise, hundreds of machines, devices and gimmicks to train people, and new gadgets and gizmos are popping up daily. "Can You Go?" answers this question: What do we NEED to do next? Appropriate assessment leads to the appropriate answer. If it there's a mobility issue, focus on mobility work. The same is true for body composition and strength¿focus on what we need to do, not what we want to do. For the performance athlete, sometimes assessment can be the short, brutal and harsh question, "Can you go?" Lessons from this frankness can be learned by both the coach and trainer. The ill and the elite share the same basic body, and the job is to enhance performance and quality of life in every training situation.
