Summary

Increasing participation in school sports has led many girls into the weight room for conditioning and training. As participation in girls’ high school athletics has reached an all-time high of approximately 2.7 million (40 percent of all high school students), the number of girls interested in weight training has skyrocketed. Winning Weight Training for Girls: Fitness and Conditioning for Sports is the only comprehensive guide for girls to using the weight room safely to keep fit and prepare for athletic competition.

The book describes the benefits of weight training, the muscles of the body and how they interact, biomechanics, anaerobic versus aerobic exercises, proper use of equipment, circuit programs for different levels of ability, training for performance or injury recovery, controlling weight, and much more. It is not a body building manual but a training guide for athletic fitness. Chapter-by-chapter coverage explains the basics of weight training with individual focus on the most popular sports. The book features a unique approach to training year-round and for multiple sports, offering girls the information they need to design a weight program that will enhance their athletic performance and improve their health. Approximately 120 photographs illustrate many of the techniques and drills discussed.
