Participants must be thoroughly informed of the risks of activity, and required to sign a statement to that effect. Athletic activities, including strength and conditioning, involve certain risks.
STRENGTH CONDITIONING CERTIFICATION PROFESSIONAL
The legal responsibilities and professional scope of practice for Strength and Conditioning professionals can be subdivided into 2 domains: ( 42) “Scientific Foundations” and “Practical/Applied”. Strength and Conditioning practitioners using this information are encouraged to seek and obtain such advice, if needed or desired, from those licensed professionals. Neither the NSCA nor the contributors to this project, by reason of authorship or publication of this document, shall be deemed to be engaged in practice of any branch of professional discipline (e.g., medicine, physical therapy, law) reserved for those licensed under state law. Furthermore, Strength and Conditioning practitioners must stay abreast of new developments in the profession so that these standards and guidelines may evolve to meet particular service needs. When rendering services to third parties, these standards and guidelines cannot be adopted for use with all participants without exercising independent judgment and decision-making based on the Strength and Conditioning professional's individual training, education, and experience. Neither the NSCA nor the contributors to this project assume any duty owed to third parties by those reading, interpreting, or implementing this information. However, this information is not a substitute for individualized judgment or independent professional advice. The standards and guidelines presented here are based on published scientific studies, pertinent statements from other associations, analysis of claims and litigation, and a consensus of expert views. This document is intended to provide relevant practice parameters for Strength and Conditioning professionals to use when carrying out their responsibilities in providing services to athletes or other participants. It is hoped that Strength and Conditioning practitioners and the institutions employing them will mutually benefit from applying this information, and in turn significantly enhance the quality of services and programs provided to their participants. This document is intended to be neither rigid nor static and will be updated periodically to reflect the industry's best practices. The purpose of the NSCA Strength and Conditioning Professional Standards and Guidelines document is to help identify areas of liability exposure, increase safety, and decrease the likelihood of injuries that might lead to legal claims and suits, and ultimately improve the standard of care being offered. Collectively, these issues are the driving forces behind this project.
It is important for Strength and Conditioning practitioners and their employers to understand that this standard of care is a shared duty the institution and individual are thus jointly responsible for fulfilling it. Budgets, equipment, facilities, and staff are often limited (or lacking altogether), with a resulting mismatch between the participants' demand for safe and effective programs and services, and the institution's provision of them. This creates remarkable challenges and requires substantial experience, expertise, and other resources to effectively address them, especially in multisport (e.g., collegiate and scholastic) settings.Īmple resources are available in some of these settings but in many others, however, they are not. Practitioners must also comply with various laws and regulations while responding to instances of potential injury and related claims and suits. The Strength and Conditioning profession involves the combined competencies of sport/exercise science, administration, management, teaching, and coaching.
