Strength & Conditioning Special Interest Group

Strength & Conditioning Special Interest Group
We are pleased to announce the formation of a new Strength & Conditioning Special Interest Group (SIG). 

This S&C SIG was developed for EXNS undergraduate and graduate students interested in gathering virtually to discuss current topics in the field of Strength & Conditioning relevant to all populations including performance and tactical athletes as well as the general population. We use presentations, case studies, and guest speakers to share the latest research and evidence-based practices in the Strength & Conditioning field. Additionally, we look for students to take an active role in providing topics of interest for each discussion. The group is led by EXNS faculty and staff who are also certified strength and conditioning (CSCS) professionals.  We meet every other Friday from 11am - 12pm during the academic semester since launching the group in January 2021.
