About the UKSCA
For a number of years there has been the need for an independent voice which represents the UK strength and conditioning profession.

With the support of UK Sport, the Association was launched in May 2004, with an inaugural AGM. The association has the following aims:

• To establish and maintain high professional standards for UK Strength & Conditioning Practitioners;
• The promotion and dissemination of good practice, knowledge and research appropriate to strength & conditioning practitioners;
• To facilitate communication among UKSCA members;
• To represent the interests of the membership of the UKSCA.

Scope of Practice
Practitioners with the specialist skills and competencies for the planning and implementation of physical preparation programmes for performance. It includes processes that result in physical adaptation through integrating fitness components into a programme, which compliments other aspects of the performer's development. This includes, though not exclusively, strength, speed, power, endurance, agility and flexibility.

Effective programming in strength and conditioning presents the best synergistic combination for optimum development whilst preventing the risk of injury.
