    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.

    The game of football is one of the most popular in the world and is followed by millions of spectators on all continents. In recent years, football has undergone technical, tactical and physical evolution, whereby players are subjected to ever higher physical stimuli. To be properly prepared, strength and conditioning coaches must use the most advanced scientific evidence to help inform decision‑making regarding conditioning their players.

This new book develops important arguments in football training with chapters examining such questions as (1) game model and training, (2) monitoring and testing, (3) recovery and match preparation and (4) youth and disability in football.
