About this title

Synopsis

"Athletic Training for Men and Boys" is a vintage illustrated guide to athletics by F. A. M. Webster. It contains a complete system of athletics training to be followed by coaches or students, and will be of considerable utility to athletes new and old. Frederick Annesley Michael Webster (1886 - 1949) was a British athletics coach and author, and soldier active during World War One. He wrote profusely on the subject of athletics, with his best known book being "Athletics in Action" (1931). Contents include: Value of Training and Use of Training", "Tables of Effort Explained", "The Sprints", "440 Yards", "Short Middle Distances and Three-quarter-mile Steeplechase", "Distance Races and Two-mile Steeplechase", "Yards High Hurdles", "Yards Low Hurdles", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on athletics.
