Endorsed Training Directory

This PDA introduces learners to the area of strength and conditioning, and its role in sport and exercise. Learners work with clients from either a sports or fitness background, or those with certain health conditions. They learn how to describe the purpose of strength and conditioning in maximising athletic and fitness performance.
Learners plan and demonstrate foundational movements before reflecting on their coaching performance. They are introduced to safe and effective working practices in a strength and conditioning setting, before designing and delivering a strength and conditioning session to a client. They develop the client’s technical ability to execute the range of exercises effectively.
In this PDA, learners also develop knowledge and skills to become a strength and conditioning trainer. A strength and conditioning trainer plans, delivers and reviews participants’ physical and physiological preparation and aligns training to specific performance outcomes. Strength and conditioning trainers understand physical characteristics and what it takes to be resilient to the demands of the intensity and volume of a training programme. They combine theory and application of training throughout their client’s journey to improve their performance.
