Secrets of Russian Sports Fitness & Training

This book explains the advanced, multi-year training system developed by the Soviets which is still in use today. It is employed not only by the Russians, but former Soviet republics, Germany, other European nations and China. Although the original research and training practices were written and developed over thirty years ago, the methods and practical experiences have only partially been incorporated in the U.S. Today many coaches and athletes are actively seeking this information. This book refutes the common myth that Soviet sports successes were due to money, drugs, and robbing the cradles of young athletes. This sophisticated system was remarkable in its ability to effectively develop an athlete’s full potential.   Table of Contents Chapter 1: How You Can Benefit from Russian Sports Techniques sports Chapter 2: The Role of Sports in the Soviet Union Chapter 3: Soviet Sports Research: What It Has Taught the Russians Chapter 4: The Newest Training Innovations: How They Can Help You Chapter 5: Speed Strength Training: A New Soviet Breakthrough Chapter 6: Maximizing Your Fitness Potential: From Running to Water Sports Chapter 7: Soviet Science of Sports Psychology Chapter 8: Nutritional Guidelines for Improving Performance Chapter 9: Making the Most of Soviet Restorative Measures Chapter 10: Drugs in the Soviet Sports System Chapter 11: What’s on the Horizon?
