Resistance training has undergone a profound transformation over the past two decades. Once confined to the domains of bodybuilding and elite athletic preparation, it has progressively emerged as a fundamental pillar of evidence-based exercise science, clinical rehabilitation, public health promotion, and neurocognitive development across the lifespan. The present volume, The Science of Resistance Training: Evidence-Based Methods for Strength and Conditioning, organized around fourteen chapters contributed by researchers and practitioners from multiple institutions and disciplines, reflects this broadening scope and seeks to provide a comprehensive, evidence-informed reference for exercise scientists, clinicians, educators, coaches, and students alike.
