To develop the physical education, culture it is essential the concept of sports training should be familiar to physical education teachers and coaches. Knowing the principles of sports training alone is not enough, teachers and coaches should be well versed with the methods and means of sports training, so that this knowledge can be successfully applied on the field. The personality and professional knowledge of the coach, teacher, trainer or instructor play a crucial part in the quality of sports training implemented. Therefore, to meet this principle, the coach must be able to integrate pieces of knowledge across the fields like anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, psychology, sociology, theory of motor learning and didactics.

The subject of sports training is highly dynamic in nature. As a result of constant research, new knowledge is being evolved which in turn can be effectively utilized to enable sports persons to enhance their performance capacity and readiness of performance.

I hope the book “Sports Training”, which is based on my earlier books “Science of Sports Training” and “Principles of Sports Training” would provide latest scientific knowledge to the physical education students and teachers. The book is written for the students of physical education courses which are based on the prescribed syllabus of NCTE. The purpose to the book is to provide relevant text for the students and to lay the framework for a discussion of the relative significance of a sports training. The presentation of the book is simple and language is very fluent and easy to understand. I am sure that the content of the book will not only be useful for the students of physical education but also for researchers, teachers and for those who are really interested to know about it
