Descrição
Endurance Training – Infographic Edition is a reader-frienly infographic version of Endurance Training – Science and Practice. As the original book, this new infographic edition covers the most relevant scientific and practical aspects of endurance training and performance: the physiological determinants of endurance capacity; the adaptations that endurance training induces in the major systems in the body; training design to optimize endurance performance and avoid undesired outcomes such as detraining and overtraining; nutritional and psychological recommendations for optimal endurance training and racing; advice on working with young endurance athletes; dealing with stressful environmental conditions; and medical issues related to endurance training and competition.
Thanks to its combination of visual and text elements, Endurance Training – Infographic Edition presents its contents in the most concise, engaging and effective way, making it a great resource for athletes, coaches, students and practitioners involved in endurance training.
