About the Book

Get an inside look at training for the world's most popular sport. Soccer Anatomy, Second Edition, shows you what it takes to run faster, resist challenges from opponents, be stronger in the tackle, jump higher, delay fatigue, and prevent injury.

In this second edition, elite-level soccer coach Adam Sayers joins Donald Kirkendall--one of the most recognized experts in soccer training and injury prevention--to bring you more than 85 soccer-specific exercises designed to help build and strengthen the athlete.

Full-color anatomical illustrations take you inside each exercise to show you which muscles are involved and how they are fundamentally linked to soccer performance. Strength-building exercises are arranged anatomically: by core, back and hips, legs, shoulders and neck, chest, arms, and legs. Each exercise includes clear step-by-step descriptions. Variations allow you to target specific areas or to modify the exercise based on your age, experience, and training goals.

You'll also find exercises and advice to help minimize common soccer-related injuries to the head, knees, hips, groin, and thigh and calf muscles, along with exercises taken from FIFA's warm-up program. Developed by FIFA's Medical Assessment and Research Centre, the program "The 11+" is proven to reduce the most common injuries.

For coaches and players looking to improve skill and build strength and endurance on the pitch, let the authoritative advice and expert instruction in Soccer Anatomy be your go-to training tool!
About the Author: Donald Kirkendall, PhD, received his doctorate in exercise physiology from The Ohio State University and went on to teach human anatomy, physiology, and exercise physiology at the University of Wisconsin at Lacrosse and Illinois State University. In 1995 he was recruited to join the sports medicine program at Duke University Medical Center. He went on to join the staff at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (1998-2003). He retired from the Duke Clinical Research Institute in 2015. His research interests focused on sports medicine and physical performance with an emphasis on team sports--especially soccer.

Kirkendall is a member of U.S. Soccer's Medical Advisory Committee, and he was a member of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) Medical Assessment and Research Centre (F-MARC) from 2004 to 2015.
