This course is designed to expose students to the physiology of muscular function and adaptation associated with a fundamentally sound resistance and conditioning program. The course will emphasize the description, assessment, and analysis of sport movement. It will facilitate student understanding of the design of progressive resistance training programs to enhance performance variables, bridging theory to practice. Basic anatomy will be reviewed, and muscle function and adaptation will be the focus, to include how muscle responds to
training, detraining, and overtraining.
