Learn about the various categories of CEU opportunities the NSCA will accept. The categories exist to ensure individuals gain knowledge in a variety of ways.
The CASCE Accreditation Review Committee (ARC) is a working committee that reports to the CASCE Board of Directors. The ARC is responsible for comprehensive reviews of programs seeking CASCE accreditation. Members of the ARC synthesize data and information contained in a program’s self-study, site visit report, program response, and progress report to determine compliance with the CASCE Professional Standards and Guidelines. The ARC also makes recommendations to the CASCE Board of Directors regarding accreditation action.
The NSCA automatically records many of your CEUs, but also offer convenient online CEU reporting through your My Account page. Read on for more information on how to report your CEUs and stay on top of recording your continuning education achievements.

The Boyd Epley Award, the highest NSCA honor, recognizes individuals who exhibit historical impact, achievements and dedication to the NSCA over the course of their career.
Interlimb asymmetries have been recently investigated in athletic populations. However, the effects of training interventions on interlimb asymmetries have been scarcely examined. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of training interventions on changes in interlimb asymmetries from pre- to post-training. Furthermore, to examine the effects of training programs on intervention groups compared with control groups. A database search was completed (MEDLINE, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus). Eight studies were then included in the meta-analysis. Results showed small reductions in interlimb asymmetries in single-leg broad jump (SLBJ) and change of direction (COD) speed from pre- to post-training interventions, whereas moderate effects were found in single-leg countermovement jump (SLCMJ) and SL lateral jump. When comparing the training interventions with the control groups, results showed small effects in favor of the training groups for reducing interlimb asymmetries in SLBJ and large effects in SLCMJ and COD speed. Thus, training interventions can evoke small to moderate reductions in interlimb asymmetries from pre- to post-training programs. Strength training performed unilaterally or bilaterally may elicit these reductions. Furthermore, training interventions showed larger effects compared with the control groups in reducing interlimb asymmetries. However, further research is needed.
Cal Dietz, Head Olympic Strength and Conditioning Coach for the University of Minnesota, explains how training is a process that takes time. He shares his insight into the most applicable adaptation and the most effective applications for tactical performance at the 2019 NSCA Tactical Annual Training.
