If you are a personal trainer, Strength & Conditioning Coach, or just someone looking to learn how to develop your own workouts, then this book will be your best friend forever. This book provides not only an incredible amount of detailed science which can be understood by the laymen, but more importantly, if provides you with a practical understanding of how to realistically implement everything. I don't think there is any other book currently on the market that goes into as much detail on periodization and program design as Periodization Training for Sports, Third Edition. Everything you need to know for training any kind of athlete is clearly explained.

For any coach, trainer, or athelete looking to improve the way they train, this book is a must read. Bompa takes you step by step through the planning and execution of a system backed by a wealth of research. Regardless of the sport, this book will give you the fundamental knowledge to help athletes achieve peak physical preparedness.Thanks, to everyone who helped put this book together.

I train just myself in powerlifting, there are a lot of periodized programs out there but I wanted to understand the method behind it and personalize a good plan for myself. I've bought some books that are too simple and some that get to broad and technical. This book is about periodized resistance training for all sports but has just the right focus for me to be able to apply it too my own training.

Just a must have book for all kind of coaches for different sports. I really like it. But there is a not enough explanation about working on single side it isolate since its all about strength training. And I think its so important to include idea and work for corrections each side.

Dense...this book is full of useful information. However, I'd only recommend it to the highly knowledgable health and fitness professionals. I am not a fitness professional, only an athlete who likes to understand the reasoning behind different programs and apply them to my needs. I was able to follow a lot of the information in this book, but struggled to digest a lot of the information provided in the book. i want to sell my book, but know I'll regret it later as much of the information here is rarely discussed in your typical health magazines/websites/etc...For a non-technical athlete, I'd say it's still worth a look.

In a current era of instant gratification with simplistic material being produced in mass quantities, Periodization Training for Sports, is a breath of fresh air and describes the tried and true method to athletic development. This book encapsulates the entirety of the training process and breaks down the numerous variables that one must take into consideration when constructing a training program. This text explains complex material in a comprehensible and intelligible way. From the weekend warrior to the elite athlete, Periodization Training for Sports is a must have.

Innovative training methods...if you train for events, you have learn the practices and principles in this book. I took Tudor's courses at York and they were groundbreaking.He has developed training schedules for Olympic teams around the world and every team as a whole improved substantially.If you want to perform and peak for an event...Learn this book inside out.

This book represents and incredible source of information, science based, that every coach should use as foundation of his or her training program designing. I've followed Carlo's seminars in Italy for 10 years now and I can say that his contribute to the book is far higher than the one a co-author could give. I highly recommend it to whoever wishes to take a step forward in understanding the strength training and periodization principles.
