Strength & Conditioning contributes to meeting the demands that have increased with the proliferation of the professionalisation and investment in Sports.

The availability to compete and the performance level of athletes are to a greater extent decisive for the sporting and financial success of professional clubs.

The competence to plan, apply and monitor the training process that leads to more robust and capable athletes from the point of view of physical qualities, requires the acquisition of solid knowledge in Strength & Conditioning as well as the development of new skills on the part of professionals in the area of training. Furthermore, it is necessary to make the athlete more physically capable, while guaranteeing his availability to compete throughout the season and for many years to come.
This is a challenge that can only be overcome with education, training and teamwork.

The course - Strength & Conditioning - Dare to Know More offers the opportunity to get involved in an educational and training process led by professionals with a high technical-scientific level and with an active intervention in professional clubs of different sports.

The team of professionals/teachers has a consolidated path in the specific context of the course and substantiates the guarantee of a course with superior quality.

Welcome to Academia Clínicas Espregueira!

OBJECTIVES

  The area of professional intervention called Strength & Conditioning (S&C) is recent in Portugal;
  Therefore, it is necessary to develop knowledge and skills to be able to know how to intervene in Strength & Conditioning;
  For this reason, we designed the Strength & Conditioning Course following a logic that we believe is essential for success in the training realm. We begin with the recovery of its principals and with the presentation and discussion of the latest advances in the physiology of training;
  We follow evaluation and measurement techniques and technologies, in the certainty that only with an accurate evaluation is it possible to prescribe individualised and effective training. We approach nutrition in its different objectives and respond to the challenge of how to prevent sports injuries with exercise-based interventions;
  We will demonstrate from A to Z how to prescribe, periodize, monitor and manage training loads during the Strength & Conditioning course;
  Lastly, we will showcase strategies to recover from training loads as well as an optional practical assessment and training sessions. As a guarantee of the adequacy and scientific-pedagogical interpretation of the contents, we invite professionals with a high and current scientific level who have already been in practice and at the highest level of their field for several years.
Description

This training is certified by the IPDJ with 4.2 credit units awarded.
