PERFORMANCE EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY

• RESISTANCE TRAINING:
  STRENGTH & CONDITIONING

Resistance Training is the application of studies in physiology, functional anatomy, biomechanics, and neurological motor control. We study the acute physiological responses and chronic adaptations to stimulus (stress), nutrient-energy intake & metabolism, skill acquisition, and physiological systems involved in sub-maximal and maximal human movement.

Strength and conditioning can be simplified to 4 key components depending on the goals, whether its health, performance, task/ skill, and/or sport-specific related. These are:

1 - Strength requirements
2 - Power / Sprints - anaerobic energy systems
3 - Cardio - aerobic energy systems
4 - Movement capacity requirements
5 - Body composition requirements
