The mission of the Strength and Conditioning concentration provides students with the necessary knowledge to incorporate exercise physiology concepts into activities that enhance fitness and performance. This concentration covers everything from the development of plans to enhance fitness in apparently healthy populations to improving performance in elite athletes. Strength and Conditioning takes into consideration a combination of the physiological, biomechanical, and psychological aspects of training in the development of individual and team needs for customized programming. The concentration serves as the foundation for students to become sport scientists, strength and conditioning coaches, personal trainers, and specialists within corporate fitness/wellness programs. The goals of this concentration are to prepare students to take the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) exam through the National Strength and Conditioning Association and to prepare them for careers in the strength and conditioning industry. To monitor this, the Department of Kinesiology publishes the following outcomes: pass rates for the CSCS exam and placement, graduation, and retention rates for students who graduated from the Strength and Conditioning concentration.
