They are all involved in the training and preparation of elite athletes, and their aim in writing this book has been to provide practical guidelines for developing and maintaining speed and endurance fitness for both individuals and team players. Areas covered include: exercise physiology essentials, speed training methods, endurance training methods, periodisation of speed and endurance, conditioning the team player, recovery training, nutrition for sports performance, injury treatment and prevention. Training for speed and endurance will make sense of all the new techniques and the latest research. It will be of interest to anyone wishing to gain up-to-date information on training principles and will be of particular value to those individuals or team players who need to focus on speed and endurance.
