Developing Endurance, Second Edition, is your guide to developing effective endurance training programs. Written by 14 of the top National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) experts, the book provides a physiological overview of endurance sports and explains how resistance, flexibility, and aerobic training all contribute to better performance.

You’ll find technique guidelines and photos for resistance training and plyometric exercises that are specific to endurance sports. Multiple tests for assessing aerobic endurance enable you to evaluate and monitor ongoing changes in performance. This second edition includes an updated chapter about warm-up methods and techniques as well as a new chapter about programming for obstacle course racing.

With sample training programs for running, cycling, swimming, triathlon, and obstacle course racing, Developing Endurance takes the guesswork out of creating personalized training programs that help avoid plateaus and take performance to the next level.

After reading the book, certified professionals can take the companion CE exam to earn continuing education credits.
