This course will provide students with fundamental knowledge underlying the benefits of strength and conditioning. Emphasis is placed on the design and implementation of effective strength and conditioning programs for performance as well as health and fitness. We will apply the multi-disciplinary knowledge in the science of exercise, physical activity, biomechanics and bioenergetics to various populations to identify how they impact performance. Finally, students will learn how scientific evidence supports performance-training methodology and gain first hand experience in the laboratory setting. The course will prepare students to sit for the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Certification (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA)
