About this book
Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning 5th edition by G. Gregory Haff and N. Travis Triplett presents the scientific principles and practical methods used in strength and conditioning. The book connects exercise science with athlete assessment, training program design, performance development, injury risk reduction, and professional coaching practice.
The 5th edition covers muscular, neuromuscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, and endocrine responses to exercise together with biomechanics, bioenergetics, adaptations to resistance and aerobic training, nutrition, supplementation, and performance psychology. Applied chapters address testing and evaluation, warm up and flexibility, resistance exercise technique, program design, plyometrics, speed and agility development, aerobic endurance training, periodization, recovery, overtraining, facility organization, and professional responsibilities.
This book is intended primarily for strength and conditioning students, coaches, sport science students, exercise science students, and professionals responsible for developing athletic performance programs. It is also directly relevant to candidates preparing for the National Strength and Conditioning Association Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist examination and to students learning how scientific training principles are applied to athlete testing and program development.
Strength and conditioning coaches, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist candidates, exercise science students, kinesiology students, sport science students, and athletic performance professionals can use this edition to plan training, evaluate athletes, select exercises, manipulate training variables, and monitor performance adaptations. The 2027 5th edition is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access for coursework, certification preparation, coaching education, program development, and professional reference.
