MSc Strength and Conditioning

Take advantage of the growth in demand for highly trained strength and conditioning coaches working in high-performance sports, sports development, or other environments where superior levels of athleticism are required. This course will teach you how to optimize human performance so that athletes of all abilities and from various sports can perform optimally while minimizing their risk of injury. You will study the biomechanics and physiology of the human body, focusing on the development of strength and power and cardiovascular adaptations to aid training and performance. You will learn to apply this to your coaching practice while also understanding the perspectives of other practitioners, including nutritionists, physiotherapists, and psychologists.
