Title: Adaptations in Sports
Author: Atko Viru
Summary: This book is a incredible collection of research and studies which provides the bodies response to a variety of stimuli. He goes into great detail about the bodies reaction from a hormonal factor, different energy systems, types of resistance training, and even types of microcycles. It leaves little to b curious about in terms of what a certain modality of training will provide your body in terms of adaptation.
Recommendation: I would say anyone who is or has chance to work with advanced athletes should take the time to read this book. It will let you know the reasons, purpose, and what you can expect from how you are training your athletes.
Something useful: Viru goes into detail about the importance of introductory and transition weeks that go a long ways in regards to setting your body up for ideal adaptation.
