This CSCS prep course with Dr. Jacob Goodin provides a complete roadmap to mastering the science of strength and conditioning in 12 weeks. The course begins with the fundamentals of exercise science, introducing muscle anatomy, fiber types, and neuromuscular principles. Students learn how the nervous system communicates with muscles, including motor units and rate coding, for optimal training outcomes.

The program then explores biomechanics, including force production, leverage, and movement mechanics, while examining muscle contractions—concentric, isometric, and eccentric. Dr. Goodin also breaks down the 7 fundamental movement patterns and explains how to design effective training programs around them.

Energy systems and bioenergetics are covered in depth, including aerobic, anaerobic, and lactate threshold concepts, ensuring learners understand the science behind endurance, strength, and power.

Each lecture integrates practical applications for athletes, coaches, and trainers, offering strategies for optimizing strength, power, and conditioning while preventing injury. By the end of the course, participants will have a solid foundation to pass the CSCS exam and apply evidence-based practices in real-world strength and conditioning settings.
