Abstract

According to a 2006 Gallop poll, Football is America's most popular sport (1). The demand is great for these athletes to perform to their highest ability; therefore, a successful strength and conditioning program is required to prepare these athletes to meet that requirement. The purpose of this presentation was to create a year-long strength and conditioning program for collegiate men's football players to enhance their performance on the field by improving strength, power, speed, and agility. This was accomplished by utilizing specific training methods which replicate and use game-like movements common to all positions. A review of literature was used to build the foundation of the program based on fundamental principles and proven methods of improving performance.
