Career Opportunities

Master’s in High Performance Sport: Strength and Conditioning

Our Master’s in High Performance Sport: Strength and Conditioning is an officially accredited program offered by UCAM in collaboration with other prestigious international universities and organizations.

This Master’s degree is the first in Spain to be recognized by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). Students will receive a deeper understanding of the different areas of sports performance and conditioning and acquire the training necessary to excel in their professional and/or research careers.

The course’s curriculum has been designed especially to impart the methodological foundations crucial for independent research and to convey a deeper understanding of the different areas of sport performance and conditioning e.g. Exercise Physiology, Biomechanics and Movement Analysis, Sport Nutrition, and Program Design. Students will be able to conduct practical experiments at UCAM’s Research Center for High Performance Sport and the University’s Sports Center, by using advanced measurement technology

such as force platforms, video cameras, electronic motion capture systems, electromyography, isokinetic dynamometry, indirect calorimetry and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.

This Master’s degree successfully combines theoretical and practical aspects, hereby enabling students to assess the most groundbreaking themes within the field of Sports Science. The continuous evolution and growing interest in physical activity and sports science makes this area of multidisciplinary expertise a highly demanded subject of professional interest.

IX. PRACTICUM

The practicum builds upon and consolidates skills and knowledge acquired throughout previous modules. Students further their understanding of theoretical concepts of strength and conditioning by developing and conducting their Master’s thesis project in their related fields of interest under the guidance of an advisor. Most of the weight of the practicum lies on conducting investigative research. Practical experiments are generally performed in the Biomechanics Laboratory, the Research Center in High Performance Sport, and UCAM’s Sport Center. Students can also be considered to carry out their practicum at Porto University (Portugal). However, a minimum stay of 3 months is required for students that have been approved to conduct their practicum at this location.

X. MASTER’S THESIS

To complete the Master’s in High Performance Sport: Strength and Conditioning, students must successfully pass the Master’s Thesis (MT). The MT should reflect the knowledge and skills obtained during the previous modules. The written paper must be original and unpublished, as well as addressing the issues related to practices carried out during the practicum. Students will publicly present and defend their Master’s Thesis upon finalization. Overall, the MT must be proportional to 12 ECTS (300 hours) in content and size.

Sports Facilities UCAM has two research centers in High Performance Sport on campus and in La Manga

Club, where students can put into practice the content of the master’s. These research centers assist 60 UCAM Olympic athletes, among them Mireia Belmonte (swimming), Miguel Ángel López (athlete), Mario Mola (triathlete) and Nicolas Almagro (tennis), as well as the UCAM Murcia Basketball Club (ACB) and UCAM Murcia Football Club (Second Division B) with their preparation, training and enhancement in their athletic performance.

RESEARCH CENTER IN HIGH PERFORMANCE SPORT CIARD-UCAM

The CIARD-UCAM is located near UCAM’s Campus de los Jerónimos. This research center was established in response to the increasing need within the sporting sector for investigation, assessment, monitoring and analysis of levels of different athletic performances. In recent years, a number of research studies have been conducted in CIARD which has allowed for the opportunity to work with other collaborators in the area of athletic performance within and outside of UCAM.

RESEARCH CENTER IN HIGH PERFORMANCE SPORTLA MANGA-UCAM

Located in a privileged enclave of southeastern Spain, La Manga Club is a typical location for pre-season training for athletes (for example in football, rugby, tennis, golf, etc.) because of its international reputation as one of the most prestigious golf resorts in Europe, as well as leisure and sports facilities (3 18 hole golf course, 8 football fields, 28 tennis courts, etc.) of five star quality. The union between La Manga Club and UCAM was created to attend to the needs of high level athletes as well as to the public in investigating, assessing, monitoring and advising in their perfomance level and overall health.

As the worldwide Authority on Strength and Conditioning, the NSCA supports and disseminates research-based knowledge and practical applications to improve athletic performance and fitness.

HISTORY

Founded in 1978, the NSCA has been serving its members by bridging the gap between science and practice. On the NSCA’s website, interested parties can take an online tour of the organization’s legacy and learn about its impact on strength and conditioning in both practice and profession.

LEADERSHIP

The NSCA operates as a diverse group of professionals from the sports science, athletic, allied health, and fitness industries. Its initiatives are governed by a board of nine directors and managed by an executive director and staff to carry out business.

CREDENTIALS

The NSCA offers CSPS, NSCA-CPT and CSCS certifications. The CSCS certification is a specialized program that identifies individuals who have demonstrated proficiency in the areas of strength and conditioning practices. Those certified individuals come from a diverse academic and professional background and comprise coaches, athletic trainers, physical therapists, personal trainers, physicians, chiropractors, researchers and educators. The NSCA-CPT certification targets personal trainers who work with both active and sedentary clients in one-on-one situations across a variety of facilities including schools, health and fitness clubs, and clients’ homes.

Today’s marketplace has become increasingly competitive, and employers are looking for the most qualified professionals to complement their teams. Over the last years, the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and the NSCA-Certified Personal Trainer credentials have gained a reputation among employers, professors and industry experts around the world as being the most respected and preferred fitness-related

credentials. Obtaining the CSCS or NSCA-CPT certification offers students the possibility to open doors both professionally and financially.

By simply adding the CSCS or NSCA-CPT designation after their names, students acquire credibility in the eyes of potential employers. This is confirmed and demonstrated by industry expert Juan Carlos Santana, MEd, CSCS,*D who affirms that “In these competitive times, NSCA certifications attest to both the acquisition of progressive information and a solid education. To be successful in the fitness industry, the CSCS and NSCA-CPT should be the credentials of choice for every fitness professional.”

BENEFITS

NSCA’s exams are considered by many to be the most difficult in the industry to pass, which is one of the main reasons that those who excel display their credentials with pride. The sophistication of the exam development process also contributes to the preferred status of the certifications. Overseen by industry experts and psychometricians specialized in setting up certification and licensure examinations, the CSCS and NSCA-CPT tests focus on “real world” responsibilities in the area of strength and conditioning, and the training of professionals.

The exam development and administration procedures are based on the accreditation guidelines of the renowned National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA), based in Washington D.C. While there are hundreds of fitness-related credentials in the marketplace today, the NSCA is the only organization to have credentials that have been accredited for more than 10 years.

The CSCS and NSCA-CPT certifications assist professionals in achieving their career goals across a variety of the industry’s responsibility fields. Many athletic trainers, physical therapists and chiropractors have earned the CSCS credential to highlight an additional area of expertise, while the NSCA-CPT certification is highly valued and often required at health and fitness facilities as well as corporate wellness centers throughout the country.
