Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists (CSCSs) are professionals who apply scientific knowledge to train athletes for the primary goal of improving athletic performance. They conduct sport-specific testing sessions, design and implement safe and effective strength training and conditioning programs and provide guidance regarding nutrition and injury prevention.

 
The CSCS program was created in 1985. The CSCS examination is constantly monitored for content validity and updated for timeliness. It is designed to ensure a minimum level of competence among practitioners and to create a better awareness among the public of the nature and purpose of the profession.
One focal point of the examination is to ensure candidates possess appropriate knowledge of industry guidelines for the safe and effective strength training and conditioning of athletes.


The CSCS credential identifies those individuals who have knowledge in the scientific foundations of strength training and conditioning as well as the skills to apply that knowledge in a practical format. These skills are tested by two separate sections of the examination: a Scientific Foundations section and a Practical/Applied section. The Scientific Foundations section consists of 80 multiple-choice questions. The Practical/Applied section has 110 questions, 40 of which involve viewing a videotape.
