One trick that many of our students find useful is to draw out these systems and label them manually on paper. You can practice this multiple times for each system until you can draw and label each system from memory.

For example, making a list of the major muscles in the human body, including their concentric actions and eccentric actions and the planes of motion within which these muscles operate, will help you dial in your knowledge of several of the topics in this chapter in a single study exercise.

A big emphasis in this chapter is the factors affecting force production, the types of levers and their mechanical advantage, and performing the physics calculations for work (joules) and power (watts) using the equations in the book and realistic weight numbers.

The final considerations from Chapter 2 are knowing that weight belts should primarily be reserved for heavy sets of structural exercises and calculating the additional resistance from adding chains or elastic bands to traditional weight training exercises.

The lactate threshold and onset of blood lactate accumulation are also key concepts from this chapter. You should know the definition of each and the implication for training athletes at different intensities.

You should know which hormones are anabolic, permissive, and catabolic, and how each hormone responds to exercise. Within this topic is knowing how to program a routine to optimize the production of certain hormones.

This first chapter on the topic covers the general reasons for athletic testing, the measures used to assess the usefulness of attests, and the administrative considerations for implementing these tests on athletes.

The biggest memorization component is the different validity and reliability terms. You will be asked about these on the test. Often, the terms used to define these aspects of testing on their surface seem like they describe similar things.

For example, the 5-0-5, pro agility test, Margaria-Kalamen, and Yo-Yo intermittent recovery are all key tests that you must know the exact methods for conducting, the parameters they test, and their appropriate locations within an athletic testing battery.

For a change of direction and agility, you must know the differences between each. Agility involves a change of direction in response to an external stimulus, while a change of direction could be a preplanned route that does not involve decision-making.

From there, design an aerobic training program incorporating every different training model discussed in the chapter, as appropriate. To recap, these are the concepts such as long slow distance, interval, and Fartlek training.

As part of your training plan, use the Karvonen method and HRR method to assign heart rate intensities for an athlete with specified age and resting heart rate, which is data required for the mentioned formulas.

You need to learn the various members of the sports medicine team and their respective roles in the rehabilitation process for athletes. A big aspect of being a strength and conditioning coach is staying within your scope of practice, so carefully review the duties of each team member.

Part of this chapter also requires you to understand the different phases of injury and healing, the biological occurrences in each phase, treatment goals, and the appropriate training protocols for athletes within each phase of healing.

Finally, develop an appropriate program for each phase of training for your aerobic and anaerobic athlete avatars. Refer to the example patellofemoral reconditioning program in the textbook for assistance.

For example, you need to know the difference between a mission statement and program objective and be able to elaborate on each. You will be asked about different components and required to identify whether they fall into the mission statement, program goals, or procedure manual.

Identifying the different team members, including the role and duties of the director of strength and conditioning, is another knowledge requirement from this chapter. This includes knowledge of all staff members including the director, the coaches, and the maintenance staff.

Whether you want to be a personal trainer or strength and conditioning coach, the National Strength and Conditioning Association Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (NSCA CSCS) will set you apart as a professional in the fitness industry.

While we cannot speak to every single failed exam, a big reason for failure is a lack of focused and organized studying and test prep. The roughly 700-page NSCA Essentials of Strength and Conditioning 4th Edition textbook contain massive amounts of information. Students rarely take CSCS practice exam questions for the difficult specialist exam.

Additionally, you need a passing score on every subsection of the CSCS Scientific Foundations and Practical/Applied exam sections, so you cannot skip any section banking on your knowledge of other sections to pass. Even a 90 percent overall score will cause you to fail if your missed certification test questions fall into the same domain.

The best study methods for the CSCS test revolve around study questions, spaced repetition flashcards, mnemonics, and practice tests. These study materials are all included in the CSCS MVP Study Package from Trainer Academy.

The CSCS exam is considered one of the harder certification exams in the fitness industry, with a purported pass rate of 54 percent as opposed to the typical 70 percent of other mainstream certifications.

The retake fee for one section is $250, while the full retake is $340, which is the original exam fee. Some CSCS study packages offer an exam pass guarantee that will pay your retake fee if you fail the exam.

Do you have to be certified to be a personal trainer? Do you have to be certified to be a strength coach? The answer to both these questions is, technically, no, but you will be hard-pressed to get an actual job without the proper certification.
