Training designed to build strength, power, and physical capacity for sport or daily function.
Strength and conditioning (S&C) is an applied practice combining resistance training, power/speed development, and energy-system conditioning to improve athletic performance and reduce injury risk. It sits at the intersection of exercise physiology and coaching, and in clinical contexts often overlaps with rehabilitation once return-to-sport criteria are met. Programming details (volume, intensity, periodisation model) vary widely by practitioner and are not standardised across the field.
