Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning, published by Human Kinetics in 2016, is the definitive textbook from the National Strength & Conditioning Association for students and professionals in bodybuilding, physical education, and human physiology. The comprehensive 752‑page hardcover covers anatomy, kinesiology, program design, and performance testing, making it a core resource for fitness and sports‑recreation courses.
The book is in solid condition with a tight binding and clean, tidy pages that are free of writing, highlighting, and dog‑ears. It shows only a small mark on one interior page and light scuffing on the cover, reflecting gentle use in a smoke‑free home.
This edition is ideal for anyone seeking a thorough, up‑to‑date guide to strength training principles, exercise technique, and conditioning science, and it will serve well as a reference or textbook in academic or training settings.
