ABSTRACT
Chapter 7 describes how to design strength and conditioning programs. Using the literature, the chapter describes how to design programs to train for hypertrophy, strength, power, speed, agility, conditioning, and horizontal force production. The chapter covers where there is conflicting literature, where the literature is limiting in its applicability, and where the literature does not support practice (for example, resisted sprinting). The chapter concludes covering how to take everything that has been covered and incorporate it into a larger program (for example, integrating sprinting and plyometrics with strength training).
Up to this point, this book has exposed the reader to a number of exercises, training tools, and concepts. This chapter begins to put all this information together by covering how to design programs to achieve certain objectives.
