Description

All the information you need to prepare for NSCA TSAC-F certification.



NSCAs Essentials of Tactical Strength and Conditioning, Second Edition, is the most comprehensive strength and conditioning resource for practitioners who work with tactical athletes-law enforcement, fire and rescue personnel, conventional military forces, and special teams.



Designed primarily as a preparatory resource for the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator (TSAC-F) certification, the text is also useful as a manual for government agencies or a daily reference for strength and conditioning professionals. Expert contributors from all three areas of the tactical industry-military, law enforcement, and fire and rescue-weigh in with unique insights from their fields.



The contributors not only provide foundational knowledge of exercise physiology and biomechanical movement patterns but also comprehensively review all the components necessary for TSAC Facilitators to design and deliver successful training programs for tactical athletes. A step-by-step approach helps readers eliminate guesswork when creating specialized training programs.
