SPHS 394: Principles of Strength Training and Reconditioning

This course explores the foundational principles of strength training and reconditioning. Emphasis is placed on the exercise sciences (i.e., anatomy, exercise physiology, biomechanics, motor learning, and nutrition), as well as key topics such as performance testing, exercise selection and technique, program design, and adaptations to training. Through instruction and practical application, students will learn to design, implement, and modify strength and conditioning programs that optimize athletic performance and promote recovery following injury.
