Hesson
publishes sixth edition of Weight Training for Life - Top
 Dr.
James Hesson, professor of physical education at Black Hills State
University, has recently published the sixth edition of Weight
Training for Life. Margie Hesson, instructor in South Dakota State
University’s nursing program in Rapid City, and Dr. Larry Tentinger,
former assistant professor of physical education at BHSU and current
assistant professor at the University of South Dakota, served as
contributing authors.
Weight Training for Life
is designed to help beginners build a foundation of knowledge and
practice in weight training. Full-color photos demonstrate exercises
while the text guides students in designing and continuing a safe,
personalized, effective and enjoyable weight training program. Forms are
included to help the reader write goals, plan a personal weight training
program, and record strength and muscle endurance measurements.
Although five previous
editions of the book have been published, the new edition includes a
revised structure, updated information, and more than 45 new full-color
photographs. Nutrition topics have been updated to reflect the latest
dietary guidelines. Weight training information related to women has
been updated to reflect the increase in women actively participating in
training programs. Additional exercise guidelines, consistent with the
recommendations of the National Strength and Conditioning Association
and the American College of Sports Medicine standards, have been
included.
To ensure the book presented
the most up-to-date and accurate information available, Hesson reviewed
new research published and presented at national meetings, new textbooks
related to health and fitness, competing textbooks in the field of
weight training, popular weight training publications, and popular
trends in weight training and physical fitness. He attended three
national meetings, the National American Association for Health,
Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance meeting in San Diego, Calif.,
the American College of Sports Medicine meeting in St. Louis, Mo., and
the National Wellness Conference in Stevens Point, Wis.
Hesson earned his doctor of
education degree at Brigham Young University in 1980. He has been a
professor of biokinetics in the division of physical education and
health at BHSU since 1990. Hesson’s other projects include working
with athletes and coaches each summer at the U.S. Olympic Training
Center and frequently serving as an author and textbook reviewer for
McGraw-Hill and other educational publishers.
