Description

"Indoor Athletics and Winter Training" is a vintage book containing instructions and tips for various aspects of athletics and athletic training. Profusely-illustrated and full of expert tips for trainer and student alike, this volume is ideal for those with an interest in learning or teaching athletics, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "General Survey of the Situation", "Kit and Equipment", "Training For Indoor Competition", "Educational Indoor Training", "Apparatus, Gadgets, and Equipment", "Forty-four General Exercises for Development of Suppleness and Strength", "Basic Instruction in Athletics for Classes", "The High jump", "The Long Jump", "The Hop, Step, and Jump", "Hurdling", etc. Frederick Annesley Michael Webster (1886 - 1949) was a British athletics coach and author, and soldier active during World War One. He wrote profusely on the subject of athletics, with his best known book being "Athletics in Action" (1931). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on athletics.
