This diploma program offers an in-depth exploration of strength training and conditioning techniques, with a focus on enhancing athletic performance, injury prevention, and post-injury rehabilitation.
Participants will gain expertise in neuromuscular training, muscle power development, and the latest methodologies in strength training.
The course also addresses sports-specific injuries, recovery strategies, and the use of technology in training programs.
By integrating nutrition and workload monitoring, participants will learn how to optimise training adaptations and recovery for athletes.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to design strength programs that enhance performance, manage rehabilitation processes, and apply best practices in workload monitoring to prevent injuries and support athlete recovery.
