Foundations Of Exercise Biomechanics:

 Registration is closed for this event
Whats the best exercise? What trending & popular exercise method or system is good? What are good results??? This course will present information and concepts that will help the fitness professional understand the difference between “biomimicry” and resistance training exercise biomechanics. We will eliminate the confusion and persuasion of marketing and personal biases as to what a “good exercise” is by introducing concepts of mechanics, physics, anatomy, physiology and kinesiology.

Having a comprehensive understanding of anatomy (structure) and physiology (function) is the foundation to understanding the systems, interrelationships and interdependencies of the human body, but not necessarily the foundation to understanding exercise and its relationship to the musculoskeletal system.

This course will present information and concepts that will help the fitness professional understand the difference between “biomimicry” and resistance training exercise biomechanics. We will eliminate the confusion and persuasion of marketing and personal biases as to what a “good exercise” is by introducing concepts of mechanics, physics, anatomy, physiology and kinesiology.

We will present a strategic and deductive step-by-step biomechanical model of Analysis - Concepts, Theory, and Application used for resistance training exercise analysis.

Several common exercises and exercise "techniques" will be presented and analyzed; the results of the analyses may surprise you...  

Objectives:

  • Present a model of exercise analysis that is applicable to any position or movement
  • Present a method of deductive thinking that enable the fitness professional the ability to better understand the opportunities as well as the limits inherent to eth human body.

Participants will be able to:

  • Analyze a position and motion relative to the forces placed upon the musculoskeletal system.
  • Determine the safety, efficiency, and effectiveness through the use of sound scientific methods and principles
  • Use the interrelationships of joints, position(s), direction of force(s), location of force(s) and length tension relationships to assess the functional versus dysfunctional aspects of an “exercise”.
