| Description | The paper deals with coaching bachelor degrees for strength and conditioning coaches in elected universities in Canada, Norway, Czech Republic and Slovakia. Meant on a content analysis of curricular documents, we identify and describe similarities and differences in approaches to strength and conditioning coaching bachelor degrees. They were apparent primarily in the qualification, content and practicum profile. The study shows that the coach's bachelor's degree has different qualifications, content and practicum profiles. It is even in sharp contrast to the bachelor's level in sports coaching in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, compared to the bachelor's level in kinesiology in Canada and sports science in Norway. The more specifically designed strength and conditioning coach bachelor level of education in the Czech Republic and Slovakia differed from schooling in Canada and Norway. |
