SHIPPING INCLUDED Few athletes will be among the best in their sport at such a young age as Martina Hingis and Tiger Woods. But accelerated athletic development is now possible because of better, smarter training starting at an early age. Total Training for Young Champions provides coaches, instructors, teachers, and parents of potential future sports stars the best conditioning advice and programs for establishing an overall fitness base and maximizing the athletic development of young people ages 6 to 18. Specifically, the book outlines how to increase a young athlete’s coordination, flexibility, speed, endurance, and strength, thereby enabling them to excel in sports. Tudor Bompa, one of the world’s foremost sports conditioning experts who has trained 11 Olympic medalists, presents a safe, proven training regimen that builds upon each of the four stages of youth development: • Initiation-prepuberty • Athletic formation-puberty • Specialization-postpuberty • High performance-maturation For the first three phases, Bompa provides nearly 300 exercises covering different ability levels, with several alternatives for variety. He also offers sport-specific training programs in 11 sports, including baseball, basketball, ice hockey, football, gymnastics, soccer, swimming, tennis, volleyball, and track and field. Total Training for Young Champions is the comprehensive guide to developing the next generation of superior athletes. Use it to boost the physical tools every young athlete needs to succeed-and shine-in sports. About the Author Tudor Bompa is recognized worldwide as the foremost expert on periodization training-conditioning programs that balance the loads, lengths, and intensities of workouts for maximum performance. He first developed the concept of "periodization of strength" in Romania in 1963, as he helped the eastern bloc countries rise to dominance in the athletic world. Since then, Bompa has used his system to train 11 Olympic Games medalists, and periodization training has become a standard method for conditioning champion athletes. A full professor at York University in Toronto, Bompa has authored several important books on physical conditioning, including Serious Strength Training (Human Kinetics, 1998); Periodization: Theory and Methodology of Training (Human Kinetics, 1999); Periodization Training for Sports (Human Kinetics, 1999); and Power Training for Sport: Plyometrics for Maximum Power Development; as well as numerous articles on the subject. His work has been translated into nine languages, and he has made presentations on training theories, planning, and periodization in more than 30 countries. His publications, conferences, and ideas are highly regarded and enthusiastically sought after by many top professional athletes and training specialists. Bompa lives in Sharon, Ontario. Bompa currently offers a certification program in training, planning, and periodization called "The Tudor Bompa Training System." The progr

SHIPPING INCLUDED Most people realize that physical activity can help them look and feel good. But with so much hype and so many false claims about exercise today, it’s difficult to know the real benefits and risks. In The Exercise-Health Connection, Dr. David Nieman sets the record straight. He presents the bottom line on what exercise can and cannot do to benefit personal health. Nieman examines how major diseases and health afflictions can be prevented and controlled by appropriate exercise programs. With the help of a question and answer format, he reveals what the latest research says about the benefits and risks of exercise on such conditions as: • coronary heart disease, • cancer, • stroke, • diabetes, • osteoporosis, • arthritis, • low back pain, • asthma, • infection, • high blood pressure, • obesity, • and more. This comprehensive, no-nonsense guide also devotes special attention to physical fitness and activity issues specific to children, teenagers, women, and the elderly. The book answers such important questions as ’Does physical activity improve the health of children and youth and carry over into adulthood?,’ ’Can too much exercise be harmful to women?,’ and ’Is exercise as beneficial for older people as it is for younger people?’ The Exercise-Health Connection cuts through the hype and presents the true benefits and risks of exercise. About the Author David C. Nieman, DrPH, FACSM, has been a professor of health and exercise science for more than 25 years.

SHIPPING INCLUDED The Bodywise Woman is more than just another women’s health book—it’s a complete guide for the active woman. Written from a woman’s point of view, the book offers hard-to-find information on women’s health specifically as it relates to physical activity. It combines research with women’s personal experiences to present practical, scientifically sound advice. Based on 14 years of studies by the Melpomene Institute, the only research organization in the United States devoted to women’s health and physical activity, this second edition offers the same easy-to-read style and understanding tone as the popular first edition, but the content has been revised in light of new research. Some sections have also been expanded, including those on menopause, body shape and weight issues, and physical activity for children. Plus, the book’s improved visual presentation makes it even more enjoyable to read and helps to highlight important points. The Bodywise Woman addresses topics that cover the entire lifespan. Each chapter brings its subject matter to life with a profile of a real person facing an issue discussed in that chapter. The book first examines how society’s view of active women has changed over the years. Next, it provides answers to questions such as: • Why do women consistently choose ideal body shapes that are 20 percent underweight? • Will physical activity alleviate menstrual cramps? • What are the real reasons behind menstrual dysfunction? • Does exercise put pregnant women at risk? • What is the most important positive influence on your child’s desire to be physically active? • What changes can you expect as you age? You’ll also learn how to choose and start an exercise program you’ll enjoy, stay motivated to stick with it, and avoid injury. Specific guidelines are offered for eight favorite activities, including walking, water exercise, and weightlifting. Whether you are already enjoying the benefits of physical activity or are just considering becoming more active, The Bodywise Woman is the perfect guide to help you deepen your commitment and make informed choices about your health and lifestyle. About the Author Judy Mahle Lutter is the cofounder and president of the Melpomene Institute for Women’s Health Research, America’s only organization devoted to health issues affecting physically active women. Judy began running in 1973 at the age of 33. Five years later, she recorded her personal best time of 2:56 at the Boston Marathon and became known around town as an expert on women and running. Recognizing the shortage of research on physical activity and women’s health, she began conducting her own studies and in 1982, she and her friend, Susan Cushman, formed the Melpomene Institute to help women make informed choices about their own health and lifestyles. A popular speaker on the topic of physical activity and health for women, Judy is on the advisory board of the Women’s Sports Foundation. She has won numerous

SHIPPING INCLUDED Ancient Greek and Chinese leaders have stressed it for centuries, but only in the past decade have fitness and sports conditioning experts emphasized the development of abdominal and back muscles. Now we have the science to support the argument that the body’s stability and power comes from its center. Stronger Abs and Back shows how to develop the body’s core musculature for maximum fitness and athletic performance. Strong abdominal and torso muscles will enhance physical appearance and mobility as well as contribute to the prevention of low back pain--the most common physical ailment in the industrialized world. Because of its extensive benefits, Stronger Abs and Back applies to a broad readership: office workers who stiffen up while sitting at a desk all week; weekend warriors who play 36 holes on a free day at the course; serious athletes who want the utmost power to perform closer to their potential; and coaches who develop training programs with the best and most comprehensive fitness level of their athletes in mind. The book features 165 exercises for developing flexibility, strength, and power. It also shows how to select and sequence these exercises in a 24-week sample program for abs and back development.

About the Author Ann Frederick is the director of flexibility training for the Stretch to Win Clinic, where she has worked with many elite athletes, including Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Donovan McNabb and numerous Olympians and members of the NFL, MLB, and NHL. Ann was the first flexibility specialist ever to work at the Olympics, consulting with the 1996 U.S. wrestling team and both the 2000 and 2004 U.S. track teams. For more than 35 years, Ann has studied, performed, and taught movement through multiple dance disciplines. In 1997, upon completion of her studies, Frederick defended her master’s thesis and established that her stretching technique outperformed conventional methods with lasting flexibility gains of 36 to 52 percent. She continually refined and improved these techniques, which ultimately developed into the Stretch To Win system of flexibility training and stretching. Today, professional athletes and Olympians from all over the world use this system to achieve higher levels of performance.

As a result of his education and training, Chris lends a nontraditional, complementary approach to flexibility training, physical therapy, sport rehabilitation, and fitness.
