I recently upgraded to this from the 2nd edition and have been pleasantly surprised. If you are involved in S&C then you need this text purely because of the amount of information inside its covers. The choice of chapter authors is more varied this time around - each offering their own insight into each section.
Some of the content is a little dated still, but this doesn't mean it should be completely discredited. There are certainly better options out there for each specialist topic, but I don't know of another text out there that has so much on such a wide range of sub-fields in one place.
The ratings for this book below depend on the context of the reader:
Coach: 4/5
Athlete: 3/5
Sport Scientist/Student: 4/5

I really enjoy this book. The product was shipped on time and the condition was excellent. It was better than I though it would be.

The title says it all. This book is the authority on strength training and conditioning. A lot of detailed info in this book that is necessary to pass the CSCS exam. Read chapters at least twice to full understand the concepts and memorize the vocab words. Peace.
Very happy with the material October 17, 2009

This textbook is the required text for my Principles of Human Performance class at Missouri Baptist. The material in this book is very thorough and provides tables and step by step images of the CSCS certification application tests. The book gives you most of the information you need for National Certification for Personal Training and Strength and Conditioning. It's very easy to read and understand, but be aware that this book should be a compliment to the NSCM study material. I would recommend it to anyone thinking of pursuing Personal Training or Strength and Conditioning!
