Strength Training & Exercise |
|
| This course uses a systematic approach to teaching resistance/
strength training movements. The practical application of anatomy,
physiology, and body alignment is introduced to emphasize correct
performance of various exercise and spotting techniques, analyze
strength training techniques and various pieces of exercise
equipment for appropriate incorporation into a comprehensive training
plan, and to conduct a risk/benefit analysis for specific techniques
and exercises. Equipment modalities reviewed will include but are not
limited to: stability balls, exercise bands, free weights, body
weight, commercial strength equipment and cardiovascular equipment.
