Strength & Conditioning
GOALS AND PHILOSOPHIES
It is the goal of the University of Northern Colorado's Strength and Conditioning Program to develop peak performance levels in all of its athletes. This is achieved through strength and conditioning programs specifically designed to keep the athletes performing at their highest levels, as well as help with the prevention of injuries. The Bear Iron Program uses extensive Olympic style weightlifting, core strength training lifts and plyometric training to harness the power needed for competition. When training for power you are also developing strength, speed, agility, flexibility, anaerobic endurance, balance and postural awareness. These are variables essential to being an elite athlete at the University of Northern Colorado.
