Strength & Conditioning Coaching 

The introduction to the Strength & Conditioning CPD course explores the history of this style of training and how we define it. This will inform your understanding of the need for professional coaching with athletes and what qualities are required to fulfil this role. 

Preparation and Planning Process

This vital module teaches you how to prepare for a session based on the relative factors of individual athletes and clients including:

• Exercise selection
• Training frequency
• Loads and reps
• Volume

Fitness Testing 

In this two-hour practical workshop, you will learn how to identify, partake in and deliver various fitness testing protocols, including shuttle run tests, and squat tests. Each test is explored in detail covering the protocol, reasoning and validity of the testing method.

Postural Assessments

Here you’ll learn how to assess a client’s posture using the NASM overhead squat test. You’ll cover the test itself in more detail and the accompanying solutions table and the muscle groups targeted in exercises and stretches.

The Strength and Conditioning CPD course finishes with a 60-minute long observational assessment where you will be tasked with demonstrating your knowledge of strength and conditioning processes by delivering tests and assessments to your fellow students.

Our Strength & Conditioning courses all take place over the course of a day in a workshop format. This is an intensive day of face-to-face training with our team of industry experts!
