Strength & Conditioning

Strength and Conditioning (S&C) is the selection and development of dynamic /static exercises used to improve physical performance. Although initially benefitting athletes, it is now widely used in both the sporting world and more generally.

S&C is used to develop every area of the body and improve the way a person moves, with the intention of enhancing sporting or physical performance.

Research demonstrates that correct and appropriate training can improve physical performance. It also shows that incorrect and inappropriate training can be very detrimental to the way the body moves and performs, whether that’s in daily life eg. walking the dog, or during a hobby or sport.
