Course overview

This online course will cover the relationship between anatomy, biochemistry, biomechanics, endocrinology, exercise physiology when designing a safe and effective training program. Designing a proper strength and conditioning program requires more than just knowing exercises, but rather a combination of disciplines to help achieve the affected goals. Emphasis will be placed on the concepts and applications of the exercise sciences, testing and evaluations, exercise techniques, to allow for a more comprehensive understanding with strength training and conditioning. Understanding the importance of proper strength and conditioning is essential to help minimize the possibility of injury while maximizing performance. These basic principles apply to therapeutic, rehabilitative, or reconditioning exercises that are concerned with restoring normal body function.
