Athletes must accelerate, decelerate, and change direction in reaction to game situations in the majority of competitive sports, which demand quick whole-body movements. Coaches, athletes, and strength and conditioning specialists are therefore always looking for the best methods to increase speed and agility.

To accomplish that goal, 19 of the NSCA’s top specialists offer evidence-based training plans, drills, exercises, and evaluation instruments in Developing Agility and Quickness, Second Edition:
• More than 130 drills, complete with diagrams, pictures, and instructions, provide a wealth of tried-and-true exercises to improve athletes’ quick acceleration and deceleration in three dimensions.

• Instructions for customizing training to meet certain needs provide a strategy for accelerating explosive movement and changing direction.
• New chapters on age and sex factors and warm-up techniques help athletes maximize their training.
