Strength & Conditioning Oversimplified is a book that makes it easy for young, up and coming coaches to comprehend complex training systems and adaptations and apply it using the right interventions. More experienced coaches can also use this book to make it easier to systemize and put their knowledge and experience to work in team and individual settings.
 
This book summarizes over 150 scientific articles, studies and meta-analyses and makes them practical and easy to digest.
 
In the 315 pages of this book, Konstantinos Stratakis covered every important aspect of fitness and S&C, including principles, methods and systems that can be used to improve all of the important physical qualities.
