The February 2009 edition of the National Strength and Conditioning Association's (NSCA) Strength and Conditioning Journal contains several articles that should be of great interest to personal trainers and strength coaches.Personal trainers and strength coaches should consult with their professional journals on a regular basis (see my article from January 2009, Professional Journals: The Trainer's Best Kept Secret).  Serious fitness professionals need to belong to both the NSCA and the American College of Sports Medicine and get certified by either organization.  As the saying goes, "Membership has its privileges," and when you belong to these organizations you receive publications that are incredibly useful and serve as an ongoing educational experience.  (Speaking of membership, when you become a member of PersonalTrainerCoach.com, you have access to our newsletters.  In the newsletters, I go through and summarize some articles written in professional journals and show the takeaways for a personal trainer).

The different member publications feature opinion pieces, articles about training people for all populations and current, legitimate research that is relevant to personal trainers and strength coaches, and their clients.  If you keep up with your journals you won't need to spend time and effort searching for reliable information.

The February edition of the Strength and Conditioning Journal (SCJ) features articles on the following subjects.

In addition to these features the SCJ contains the usual recurring columns dealing with high school coaches and athletes and exercise technique.

Personal trainers and strength coaches who aren't certified by the NSCA can still become a Professional Member and get access to all of the NSCA publications, both in print and online.
