M.Sc. Strength & Conditioning

Programme learning outcomes

On successful completion graduates will be able to:

1. Design and implement periodised, evidence-based strength & conditioning programmes for athletes across sporting codes and performance levels.
2. Apply advanced knowledge of neuromuscular function, biomechanics and exercise physiology to optimise performance and reduce injury risk.
3. Conduct and interpret athlete testing and monitoring using laboratory and field-based technologies (force platforms, wearable sensors, video analysis, physiological testing).
4. Use quantitative research methods and performance analysis to evaluate training efficacy and inform practice.
5. Integrate sports nutrition, recovery strategies and injury-management principles into athlete programmes.
6. Lead multidisciplinary teams and communicate effectively with coaches, medical staff and athletes.
7. Plan and execute an independent applied research project with appropriate ethical governance and dissemination.

Facilities & partnerships

Learners will have access to SGT’s on-campus gym and performance facilities, biomechanics and physiology laboratories, and performance analysis suites. The School maintains active ties with National Sports Federations and organisations for placements and applied projects, including (but not limited to) Special Olympics Bharat, select state federations, Sports Authority of India (SAI) placements and external sports organisations.

Research & career pathways

Graduates are prepared for roles as Strength & Conditioning Coaches, Performance Analysts, Rehabilitation S&C Specialists, High Performance Assistants and researcher-practitioners in sport institutes, professional clubs, rehabilitation centres and academic settings. The programme’s research emphasis also provides an entry route to PhD study in applied sport science and biomechanics.
