Strength Training Principles that Produce Results

Advances in technology have made our lives more convenient and unfortunately more sedentary.  As a result Americans are losing strength and range of motion at an alarming rate.  This is particularly true of aging Americans.  Studies indicate that Americans are becoming less functional at younger and younger ages due to lack of fitness, obesity and lifestyle diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.  Many rehab professionals may not be fully aware of strength training techniques and cautions which could ultimately benefit their patients and clients.

 

This essential one-day seminar will separate fact from fiction in regards to strength training.  The practical component will take a look at traditional as well as non traditional exercises for the upper body, lower body and core.  Strength assessments will be presented and performed as well as exercise analysis and technique.  Techniques for minimizing the stress at joints will be given and common errors in execution will be discussed as well as simple solutions for improving form.  Questions that often come up when designing strength training programs will be covered, such as:  How many sets, reps and what intensity should I use for different goals such as strength, power, endurance, and hypertrophy?  How do I determine how long I should rest between sets?   There are so many different approaches to strength training how do I know which one is right for my patient?  What are the advantages and disadvantages of various types of resistance equipment?  How can I design an effective strength training program if I do home health care?  Attend this indispensable seminar to learn the answers to all these questions and more!
