Description
Soccer Anatomy, Second Edition, provides a comprehensive guide to training for the world's most popular sport. This book, co-authored by Donald T. Kirkendall and Adam L. Sayers, offers over 85 soccer-specific exercises designed to help build and strengthen the athlete. Full-color anatomical illustrations are included to show which muscles are involved and how they are linked to soccer performance. The exercises are arranged anatomically, covering core, back and hips, legs, shoulders and neck, chest, arms, and legs. Each exercise includes clear step-by-step descriptions, allowing you to target specific areas or modify the exercise based on your age, experience, and training goals. The book also includes exercises and advice to help minimize common soccer-related injuries, such as those to the head, knees, hips, groin, and thigh and calf muscles. Developed in collaboration with FIFA's Medical Assessment and Research Centre, the program "The 11+" is proven to reduce common injuries. This authoritative guide is a valuable resource for coaches and players looking to improve their skill and build strength and endurance on the pitch.
