Strength and Conditioning Journal Podcast

This is the audio companion to the Strength and Conditioning Journal, the NSCA's official publication that has been a cornerstone of evidence-based practice in the field for decades. Ben Reuter edits the podcast and brings in authors and researchers to discuss their published work in a format that is more accessible than reading a journal article. With 50 episodes released bimonthly since 2011, this is not a high-volume show. But what it lacks in frequency it makes up for in substance. Recent episodes have covered women in strength and conditioning as a special issue, the physiological demands of wheelchair racing, exercise strategies for managing Parkinson disease, and menstrual cycle phase-based training for elite female team sport athletes. The topics reflect the journal's commitment to serving the full spectrum of S&C practice, not just training healthy college athletes. Episodes integrate practical coaching experience with peer-reviewed research, which is exactly the kind of content that separates this from opinion-based shows. The 4.3 rating with 27 reviews reflects a niche but dedicated audience. If you want S&C content that is grounded in published science and goes beyond the usual training advice, this is one of the few podcasts that operates at that level.
