New chairman
of the UKSCA
At the last UKSCA Board meeting,
Duncan French stepped down as
director and chairman of the UKSCA,
and Pete McKnight was elected to take
over as the new chair. The Board would
like to take this opportunity to thank
Duncan for his enormous contribution
to the UKSCA as director for the last
six years and chair for the last two
years.
Stepping down was a difficult
decision for Duncan, and although his
achievements in running the last five,
highly acclaimed, annual conferences
are legend and visible to all, his huge
LETTER FROM PETE
Since its inception, the UKSCA
has grown and evolved, while still
maintaining its core values of
upholding the promotion of good
practice in strength and conditioning
across the industry. Over the past few
years, the Board has worked hard to
put systems in place to ensure that the
UKSCA operates with a high level of
accountability and transparency. As the
Association grows, so does its need to
engage the increasing numbers of its
members, and provide the best possible
services.
My vision for the next few years is to see
a team of directors working together
effectively on key areas by mobilising
its vibrant community of members, and
utilising the skills and abilities of all
those wanting to be involved. This is a
key step in the ongoing growth of the
Association.
One of the current realities is that
there are more individuals becoming
Accredited members and less jobs
available. I am passionate about
encouraging and helping members
to take the initiative and create new

Introduction
Successful sports performance requires
an optimal development of a broad range
of physical qualities, which therefore
demands a thoughtful approach to the
planning of training. For many sports, a
training regimen which aims to enhance
both strength- and endurance-related
qualities is essential. Endurance sports
such as long distance running, rowing
and triathlon traditionally use a high
frequency and volume of training at
lower intensities to develop aerobic
qualities, but the potential for strength
training to enhance performance is also
apparent.1,51,54,87,94,95
The benefit of including strength
training for athletes who partake in
invasion games, racket sports and
the martial arts all sports which are
characterised by intermittent bursts of
high intensity activity is perhaps more
obvious. However, these sports also
require the development of endurancetype qualities to optimise performance.
In addition, athletes from intermittent

or
supplemented
the
programme with additional strength
training sessions. To the authors
knowledge, only one study77 has used
well-trained endurance athletes to
examine whether strength adaptations
are in fact negated under a concurrent
regimen. In agreement with findings
from other populations, strengthrelated qualities showed an attenuated
adaptation in well-trained endurance
athletes compared to a strength-only
training group.77

Insomnia
Changes in body
composition such as loss
of body mass including
lean tissue. Where the
latter occurs, body fat
percentage of the athlete
actually increases
Reduced HR and BP
under the conditions
mentioned above
Increased susceptibility to Overwork and training stress releases cortisol (a primary stress
hormone). Cortisol suppresses the immune system and has
illness
anti-inflammatory properties which leads to the suppression of
histamine. Such a response, designed to reduce tissue damage
(ie, prevent the overshoot phenomena), leaves us susceptible to
illness and diseases.

practices the TQR questionnaire is
used. This need only be completed

only ~10 questions. If you believe
important information is missing
then try adding it and assessing
the results to check its validity.
Remember, assessing fatigue and

ISCHAEMIC PRECONDITIONING
Ischaemic preconditioning
Ischaemic
preconditioning
(IPC)
has its roots in medicine: it was first
utilised to reduce susceptibility
within the myocardium to ischaemiainduced infarction6 by subjecting the
heart muscle to periods of ischaemia
followed by reperfusion. Since this
early research, the effectiveness of IPC
as a priming agent for the myocardium
prior to subsequent bouts of ischemia
has been well documented.21
More recent investigation, however,
has suggested IPC may have a
beneficial effect on other tissues within

These are just a selection of the dates planned for the next six months. Please see our website
for the latest dates and availability, as demand is high and new dates/venues are being added
every week.
Foundation Workshop in Strength and Conditioning
The Foundation workshop is aimed at anyone looking to enter the profession and wanting
a clear and progressive development pathway. Also to anyone wishing to add best practice
strength and conditioning to their existing roles e.g. PE teachers, sports specific coaches,
personal trainers, undergraduate students etc.
