Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Strength and conditioning training has proven to be a basic strategy in exercise programs for athletes of all levels. These programs seek multiple objectives, centered around the improvement of sports performance, physical condition and injury prevention or rehabilitation. Thus, their development is of great interest in sports, clinical and health environments.
Currently, sport and health sciences use eccentric, isometric, plyometric, isoinertial, sprint performance, multidirectional sprint and other methods to obtain neuromuscular, physiological, biomechanical, mechanobiological and psychological adaptations for practitioners of different sports disciplines and activities.
The objective of this Special Issue is to publish applied studies that help to improve the understanding of effective and efficient strategies in the field of strength and conditioning training. We encourage authors to present research showing the acute or chronic effects that strength and conditioning training has on variables that influence performance, health, injury prevention or rehabilitation, quality of life or the improvement of the physical condition of the population—both athletes and practitioners of physical activities. Reviews of the scientific literature that contribute to improving the global understanding of the existing evidence in the field of strength and conditioning training in order to obtain general guidelines and recommendations that help coaches and athletes will also be appreciated.
