Strength and conditioning have been an area of biomechanical interest in the current era where multiple researches are being conducted. The National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) is world’s reputed organization that provides a variety of academic and research information to sports personnel as well as their coaches. It designs various courses and certifications for training the professionals involved in strength and conditioning. The availability of evidence-based practice provides a scientific base for the professionals to prepare and plan their competition along with rehabilitation plans. It is the level of condition for an athlete to be categorized into premature, advanced, or elite. Since exercises are now being prescribed as medicine, it is important to know the kinesiology in strength and conditioning where we apply the biomechanical principles to achieve the desired outcome. For example, we understand that a heavy weight lifter's training principles vary from running as per his demands and accordingly, we train the athlete keeping the biomechanical structure and function in mind. In this chapter, we shall deal with biomechanical techniques of squat analysis, which is a good example of strength training. In addition, the plyometric conditioning for jump would be dealt. The work of Knudson in biomechanical analysis of various sports holds high significance in the kinesiology of strength and conditioning [1–3]. |
