Strength and Conditioning

A training program for Sem student-athletes includes the following:

• Flexibility/mobility—Optimizing movement through all planes of motion
• Speed development—Acceleration, deceleration, change of direction
• Power development/explosiveness—Olympic lifting, plyometrics, medicine ball throws, jumping/hopping/landing techniques
• Strength—Knee-dominant, hip-dominant, upper body push/pull, trunk/core training
• Energy system development—Sport-specific conditioning

It is our mission to develop safe, effective and appropriately challenging training programs. Not only do we want to help improve sport performance and protect our bodies, but we think it is imperative to promote health and wellness for life performance and life longevity. For that reason, we encourage ALL students and faculty to use our facilities inside the Pettebone-Dickson Student Center when their schedule allows.
