The second editor, Daniel Lewindon, is the Head of Performance Science & Medicine for the LTA and formerly England Rugby where he worked for over 10 years. He has also worked with extreme sports athletes and holds masters degrees in both sports science and sports medicine. No other resource combines the visual detail of top anatomy texts with expert strength training advice. Over 700 anatomical illustrations, including 90 new to this edition, depict 231 exercises and variations to reveal the primary muscles involved as well as all the relevant surrounding structures, including bones, ligaments, tendons, and connective tissue.

Since the first edition published in 2014, this resource has been the go-to text in strength and conditioning. As the balance of evidence-based advice and practical insight is presented in such depth and with such clarity while each chapter still manages to maintain the personality and style of the author. The book is written in a very accessible, applicable way. It’s scientific, of course, but it’s practical too. Bompa has teamed up with one of the biggest names in the S&C industry, Carlo Buzzichelli to couple the classic concepts that are central to periodisation and training theory with contemporary advances in sport science, physiology and coaching.Bompa is recognised as the world’s foremost expert on periodisation training. He developed the concept of periodisation of strength in Romania in 1963.

New Functional Training for Sports, 2nd editionincludes access to 71 online video clips demonstrating many of the exercises found in the book. Each book has a key code, giving you access to all these videos stored on humankinetics.com. This is a very good reference book for people who want to know more about exercises and their target muscle groups. But what makes it different than googling an exercise or watching a video is that most of the search result content or video content do not show in detail why an exercise is better for strengthening a muscle group over another. This book shows that by depicting the targeted muscle groups in very detailed images. It may look like a lot of fun (and it is) but don’t be fooled, it’s a serious piece of work too. The bookcovers a variety of material from basic athletic exercises such as bodyweight training (burpees and push-ups etc) to Olympic Lifts and more. The book also features lots of great artistic drawings and clear picture demonstrations too. Why not try the 15-week training programme which comes with the book? That should leave you in no doubt as to the uncompromising nature of the text.With over 600 full-color photos and 300 anatomical illustrations, you’ll be taken inside 46 exercises specifically selected for the demands of 43 sports and activities. You’ll see how muscles interact with surrounding joints and skeletal structures and how variations and sequencing can isolate specific muscles for more effective and efficient training. This colourful, eye-catching text with inspiring illustrations topped our list of the best books of 2017. Delavier won the French powerlifting title in 1988 and gives worldwide presentations on the sport applications of biomechanics. His teaching efforts have earned him the Prix de Techniques et de Pédagogie Sportive. Delavier lives in Paris, France.
