Offers a fitness program tailored to an individual's needs, presenting a method of assessing physical condition, an outline for establishing goals, and fitness strategies
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
It is an admirable goal to write a book that will allow readers to design individualized fitness and sports performance programs. Unfortunately, this book gets bogged down with narratives leading to descriptions of fitness programs, and repetition, especially in chapter 4, which details training for ten sports activities, varying from stretching to Alpine skiing. There is information to assist in assessing a person's baseline physical condition and in clarifying programs that will contribute to the achievement of performance goals. The advice is good, but the presentation misses its desired mark. A better book would be Richard Mangi, M.D., and others' Sports Fitness and Training ( LJ 6/15/87).
