Description
This book serves as a powerful guide for coaches and athletes, unlocking the transformative potential of sports science. Its mission is to illuminate the application of key concepts, principles, and approaches within the realm of sports. This translates to a deeper understanding of how coaches and athletes act, think, and feel during both training and competition. The book delves into the psychological, physiological, and biomechanical aspects of sports, equipping readers with valuable insights into their own performance optimization. By exploring these elements, coaches gain powerful tools to design effective training programs, while athletes develop a deeper understanding of their own strengths and weaknesses. Ultimately, this book fosters a collaborative approach between coaches and athletes, empowering them to leverage the latest sports science advancements to maximize their potential and achieve peak performance. In addition, it provides vital and cutting-edge knowledge which coaches and athletes can use to assist them in their training in order to enhance their performance to an excellent level in sport and life. Sports science is a multi-disciplinary field concerned with the understanding and enhancement of human performance. It includes the knowledge, methods, and applications of sub-disciplines of human movement studies (i.e., the science of coaching, caching competencies, sports psychology, exercise physiology, biomechanics, skills learning, nutrition, sports injuries, management of athletes), as well as how they interact. Sports scientists are trained experts who assist sportspeople to achieve the best possible sporting performance. They evaluate, research, assess, and advise on coaching, training, competition and recovery practices in all areas and levels of sport.
