Strength and Conditioning is an advance personal training program that focuses on the training of athletes. Assisting with the development of exercise routines and nutritional intake, exercise supervision, tracking athlete progress and adjusting exercise plans accordingly, the S & C program both designs and implements full-scale fitness programs.

 

Personal trainers work with individuals, while Strength and Conditioning specialists work specifically with athletes. Both are required to have in-depth knowledge about exercise instruction, program development, anatomy and nutrition, and both have the ability to change people's lives for the better, and achieve your fitness goal. The sessions use more comprehensive training methods and applications for improving and monitoring short to long term athletic performance.

 

Strength and conditioning coaches have two primary goals. The first is to improve athletic performance, which usually means improving athletes' speed, strength, and power (although specifics vary according to athlete and sport). The second primary goal is to reduce athletic injuries and enhance performance with less risk.

.

Injury reduction is one of the most important reasons to follow an S & C program. Adhering to a well-designed program will strengthen muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints, which will lead to fewer injuries. A good program will also address flexibility and strength deficits, which decreases risk of injury.
