Torero Strength and Conditioning The Un ivers ity of San Diego athletic department recogni zes the need fo r all athletes of all sports to engage in a comprehensive strength and condi tioning program. The USO strength and conditioning program has been designed to de– ve lop functiona l strength , speed, power and endurance. The deve lopment of th ese phys ica l attributes is ineffective if the ath letes are not able to ca rry them over to the playing fie ld. Adhering to a properl y designed program of strength trai ni ng, condi– tioning and nutrition can enab le our men and women to become the best possib le athletes they can be, whil e simultaneously reducing the incidence of inj ury. The heart ofthe strength and condition ing program is the USO Sports Center we ight room . It is open exclusively to student-ath letes at specific times each day. The we ight room contains 5,000 square feet of Olympic pl atforms, free-weig hts, selectori zed machines, dumbbell s and card iovascu lar equipment. US O student-athl etes receive intensive instructi on on proper weight train– ing technique; speed, power and ag ility deve lopment; and sport-spec ific condition– ing. The ir strength and condition ing programs are spec ific to the nature of their sport or position. Each athl ete is ind ividuall y monitored throughout their program to ensure the greatest chance of athleti c progress .
