Textbooks Resources

1. Required Thomas R. Baechle, Roger W. Earle. Essentials of Strength training and conditioning, 3rd ed. Human Kinetics, 2008 Rationale: .Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning, Fourth Edition, provides the most comprehensive information on organization and administration of facilities, testing and evaluation, exercise techniques, training adaptations, program design, and structure and function of body systems. Its scope, precision, and dependability make it the essential preparation text for the CSCS exam as well as a definitive reference for strength and conditioning professionals to consult in their everyday practice.
