Developing the Core with Jeff Willardson, PhD, CSCS

 Friday, September 27, 2024 

A strong core is vital and a necessity for elite-level athletes. Research has established a direct correlation between core strength, performance, and injury risk reduction. Dr. Jeff Willardson began focusing on various areas of strength and conditioning while a professor at Eastern Illinois University but became particularly interested in the benefits of training the core. In this interview, Dr. Willardson details some of those benefits and talks about the recently released NSCA Developing the Core, Second Edition. Willardson edited and contributed to the book.
