Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Performance Assessment in Strength and Conditioning provides an indicative guide regarding the most appropriate and reliable methods of assessing and monitoring athletic performance in athletes. This new and fully revised second edition explores the full range of considerations required to reliably assess performance, including questions of ethics and safety, reliability and validity and standardised testing, before going on to recommend (through a comparison of field- and laboratory-based techniques) the optimal methods for testing all aspects of physical performance.
The book delivers a concise review of the existing literature related to the primary topic, followed by practical applications and guidelines for the standardisation of appropriate testing procedures and protocols for each type of testing. Additionally, a discussion of the key variables (e.g., specific force–time characteristics) for the tests is explored in relation to benchmarking, longitudinal monitoring, fatigue monitoring and injury risk, as appropriate for each test. Closing with a section on interpreting, presenting and applying results to practice, and illustrated with real-life case study data throughout, Performance Assessment in Strength and Conditioning offers the most useful guide to monitoring athlete performance available.
This book is an essential text for upper-level strength and conditioning students and practitioners alike as well as all individuals involved in training athletes and researchers in the field of sports science.
