Synopsis This course will cover both theory and practical components of
strength and conditioning. This course is an extension to the
Advanced Strength and Conditioning 1 and will focus on various
anaerobic (i.e. plyometric, speed and agility) and aerobic training
programs. The highlight of this course will include physical
conditioning for special population. Training programs will take into
account the developmental stages for children, aging process for
