Prin Strength & Conditioning

Students will gain an in-depth understanding of the physiological principles and adaptations in the human body for various exercise modalities: muscular strength & power, aerobic conditioning, plyometrics, and muscular endurance. Students will use this understanding for exercise equipment selection, environmental considerations, and exercise programming for the individual’s energy and/or sport demands. Additionally, students will critically examine coaching and motivational techniques when it comes to strength and conditioning. The course will culminate in a final project where students critically research and examine a new training trend, looking at its’ efficacy and predicted use.Prerequisites: BIOL 1075/1175, BIOL 1085/1185, EXSC 2001, EXSC 2020/2021, EXSC 2120/2121.Corequisite: EXSC 3021.
