About the Product

Winning performances require good technique, proper conditioning, and a strong competitive spirit. However, the ability to generate explosive, powerful efforts on demand clearly separates elite athletes from the rest of the pack. Generating exceptional athletic power is only possible through a complete power-training program designed specifically with you and your sport in mind.

In Power for Sport and Fitness, your host Renaldo Nehemiah presents a complex training program for developing power that will help you design workouts to develop, enhance, and harness the strength and speed you need to excel in your sport. Nehemiah-a world class athlete-exemplifies power in sport. A former world record holder in the 110-meter high hurdles, he dominated the sport from 1978 to 1982. Because of his powerful athleticism and versatility, he was able to trade in his track spikes for cleats when he joined the San Francisco 49ers in 1982. In 1984, Nehemiah shared in the 49ers’ victory as Super Bowl Champions. This complete power-training system was designed by Human Kinetics based on numerous authoritative books and consultants.

In the video, you’ll learn how to:

• utilize resistance training exercises to improve power through strength development;
• develop explosive power through 24 plyometric exercises, including barrier jumps, medicine ball throws, and depth jumps; and
• incorporate sprint training into your program to develop the speed necessary for maximum power.

Correct positioning for each exercise is clearly explained to promote strength gains while reducing the risk of injury. Tips on combining exercises to build complex sport-specific training programs are also given. Featured sports include volleyball, basketball, gymnastics, football, rugby, soccer, hockey, and figure skating.
