When preparing for the exam, I have found differing/conflicting information about a certain topic from different review materials. How do I know what to study for the exam?
Like other academic disciplines, strength and conditioning, personal training, and exercise science in general is based upon the foundations of experimental research. Yet, when compared with other areas (e.g., biology, chemistry, medicine, etc.), strength and conditioning and personal training are still relatively “new” disciplines. Therefore, developmental research is still actively pursuing practically applied knowledge of less defined, unexplored topics. Like all other disciplines, this can result in mixed opinions and contradictions regarding these more remote topics. It should be reinforced, however, that the principles of strength and conditioning and personal training are founded upon compelling evidence of numerous experimental research studies. It is this support that has brought profound knowledge and credibility to strength and conditioning and personal training as disciplines and professions. Consequently, it is this evidence that also provides the foundations for the CSCS
