A new consensus statement
regarding the team physician and strength and conditioning of athletes for
sports has been published in Medicine &
Science in Sports & Exercise. The goal of this document was “to
optimize the performance of the athletes and minimize the risk of injury and
illness.” The document covers strength and conditioning principles (e.g.,
specificity, progressive overload), sport-specific strength and conditioning,
strength and conditioning program implementation, injury and illness
implications of strength and conditioning, as well as selected current issues
in strength and conditioning.
