Author Vladimir M. Zatsiorsky, a world-renowned sport biomechanist and former strength and conditioning consultant for the Soviet Union Olympic teams, knows that strength training is more than pumping iron. In Science and Practice of Strength Training he examines strength from a biomechanical and physiological perspective. He shows strength and conditioning professionals and coaches how to use basic scientific principles to improve muscular strength in their athletes. Zatsiorsky begins by discussing training theory and the biomechanical and physiological factors that determine muscle strength. Next, he shows readers how to apply this information to strength training programs by using data gathered from the training logs of more than 1,000 elite Eastern European Olympic and world-class athletes. The book also covers factors in exercise selection, injury prevention, goal-setting, the controversial topic of periodization (timing in training), and alternative exercises for strength enhancement.

Zatsiorsky attended Lvov University from 1949 to 1951. Three years later he received his Bachelor of Science degree from it. He then obtained a degree of Candidate of Science from Lesgaft Institute of Physical Culture in 1969.
He also received a Doctor of Science degree from Russian Central Institute of Physical Culture in 2003.
Zatsiorsky started his career in Lvov, working as an assistant professor at Lvov Institute of Physical Culture from 1954 to 1957. He then moved to Moscow, where he held the position of professor at Central Institute of Physical Culture till 1974. He then was appointed as a head and professor of the biomechanics chair there and in 1989 became a head of the chair of biomechanics. Before coming to the United States, Zatsiorsky was also a fitness and biomechanics consultant to the USSR's national Olympic teams since 1960.
Since 1991, he has been working at Pennsylvania State University, first as a visiting professor. Now he is a professor of kinesiology and a director of the university's biomechanics laboratory there.
Vladimir M. Zatsiorsky is best known as a specialist in the field of kinesiology and sports science. His work includes 15 books, 19 patents and over 350 scientific papers. It was translated into English, German, Polish, Bulgarian, Czech, Serbo-Croatian, Romanian, Chinese, Japanese, Italian and Spanish.
