Strength and Conditioning Sport
Design training programs for the following sample clients. Be specific. Provide details for the type of exercise, duration, sets, reps, rest intervals, and so on. A coach or athlete should be able to take your program and put it into practice without having to contact you for clarity of further explanation. Provide a brief explanation for WHY you’ve outlined a particular program. The WHY provides the rationale for your recommendations. Hint: if you emphasize an endurance component, but you list exercises and routines to mainly develop power, then you need to rethink your recommendations for the exercises/activities.
