Inhaltsangabe

This volume on Cognitive Athletic Training in Team Handball tackles the question of which game and exercise forms can train cognitive abilities alongside athleticism and endurance of soccer players. As the second book in the series ‘Cognitive Athletic Training,’ it stands out with its clear structure, divided into theoretical and practical parts. With essential theory provided in the first part, the practical section illustrates exercises and games with numerous photos and graphs, allowing easy understanding and implementation in a training routine. It provides advice and exercises to train athleticism, endurance, and cognitive abilities. Particular focus is on perception, creativity, anticipation, and attention, as well as physical abilities such as strength, endurance, speed, and coordination. 

This book is structured with a clear didactic and methodological approach, featuring numerous examples and offering a concise, well-organized presentation in the theoretical section. Countless photos and illustrations support the implementation of the various games and exercises in the practical section, which makes up the main part of the book.
