Program Outcome

Certificate Program in Sports Science, Rehabilitation & Performance offers a comprehensive curriculum focused on the science and practical aspects of athletic health and performance. Throughout the course, you will have the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of strength and conditioning principles and their application in training and rehabilitation settings. Here are some key highlights of the program:

Fundamental Science and Training Design: You will study the foundational scientific concepts that underpin athletic performance, with a specific focus on strength and conditioning. This knowledge will enable you to design and structure effective training programs that cater to the specific needs of athletes.

Periodization and Training Methodologies: You will learn about the periodization of training programs, which involves the strategic planning and organization of different training methods and intensities over time. This approach optimizes an athlete's performance and minimizes the risk of overtraining or injury.

Work Placement Module: The program includes a work placement module where you will gain practical on-the-job experience. This hands-on experience, amounting to 150-200 hours, will provide valuable insights into the real-world application of strength and conditioning principles.
