ESS 6385 - Science of Power Training

This courses will examine the biological basis of developing strength and power. The mechanism of neuromuscular, endocrine, connective, skeletal, and cardiovascular tissue adaptation to strength and power training will also be explored. The importance of appropriate nutrient required to fuel training will also be integrated throughout the course. Hands-on experience will focus on developing strength and power training programs for active individuals in addition to learning advanced training techniques and safety concerns that accompany them.
