- What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) In addition to a terminal degree, qualified instructors must have Graduate coursework in the area of the course.
- Objectives: 6.1 Knowledge of the ability to locate, read, and interpret strength and conditioning research.
6.2 Knowledge of the strength and conditioning profession, professional organizations, and
both historical and contemporary aspects of the discipline.
6.3 Knowledge of the importance of core stability and strength training in athletes.
6.4 Knowledge of biochemical monitoring of sport training.
6.5 Knowledge of overtraining including the various ways of assessing overtraining.

quickness, and power.
6.8 Knowledge of the importance of incorporating periodization into strength
and conditioning programs.
6.9 Knowledge of the importance of incorporating plyometric training into
strength and conditioning programs and how such training increases force
production.
