SE 303 - Sport Performance Training


Credits: 4 credits

Sport Performance Training is a more in depth study of the science behind preparing athletes to be at their very best when it counts, namely competition.  Some of the sub-topics include the testing of various components of fitness, the statistical analysis of these assessments, and the design of appropriate conditioning and training programs to enhance each athlete’s performance. In addition, other important factors, such as good nutrition, a positive mental outlook, and healthy lifestyle are also part of the discussion.

This course is meant to be very “hands - on” by having the student work with the various sports teams at Saint Joseph’s College. Athletes will have the opportunity to have their fitness tested and retested, such as aerobic capacity, strength, power, flexibility, and body composition, among others. The athlete will also have the option of having a training program designed to improve on any of these fitness components.
