About the Course
Course Objective
The objective of this module is to provide fundamental understandings of Strength & Conditioning and how to physically prepare athletes.
You will start with the understanding of the role of strength & conditioning, learning the most important training principles, and the basic physiology of sport and exercise.
Finally, the course will provide a basic understanding of the main bio-motor abilities, strength, speed and endurance, and how to effectively train each of these bio-motor abilities.
Along the way, you will operationalize the key concepts of strength training, speed training and endurance training, and how to design training plans.
