COURSE CONTENT

Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1. Describe the basic physiology of muscular function as it applies to plyometrics, speed, and

    agility training.

2. Generate and apply exercises for plyometrics, speed and agility with proper form and

    technique.

3. Design a training protocol based on assessment results of fitness level and athletic goals.

 

Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1. Identify basic muscle anatomy, physiology and function.

2. Identify and perform exercises to increase speed, agility and speed endurance.

3. Explain the importance of periodization in a strength and conditioning program.

4. Describe proper technique, injury prevention, and safety concerns for plyometrics, speed, and

    agility training.

5. Design a sport-specific strength and conditioning program.

6. Assess current fitness level and establish athletic goals.

7. Describe effect of strength, agility, balance, coordination, speed, power and flexibility training

    on sport performance.
