This course prepares students to understand and systematically design training & conditioning programs for health and/or performance. The course addresses general training principles, such as periodization, adaptation, accommodation, specificity, and overload, and explores how an understanding of the 3 energy systems responsible for producing energy for exercise (the aerobic, anaerobic glycolytic, and ATP-PCr systems) can be applied to training and conditioning. Additional topics include the muscular and neuromuscular systems, physiological, and performance adaptations, repeated sprint ability, energy system interaction, measurement and evaluation of fitness, and strategies for maximizing adaptation to training. Students will gain an understanding of physiological adaptations and apply them to improving health and performance in sport and physical fitness. Enforced
