RESISTANCE TRAINING SPECIALIST Level-1 Exercise Mechanics and Application Course and Optional Certification Exam

 Registration is closed for this event
This is an authorized prep course for the optional Resistance Training Specialist (RTS) Level-1 certification exam. The goal of 4-module RTS course is to provide participants a comprehensive introduction to objective decision-making when training a client and teaching resistance training exercise.

It consists of an introduction to joint and muscle function as they relate to the mechanical analysis and execution of exercise for the upper extremity, spine, and lower extremity. This is your next step to providing truly customized experiences for your clients and standing out as a true professional in the delivery and implementation of exercise.

This course is rooted in “Exercise Mechanics” taking the science of biomechanics and applying it specifically to exercise. Through the continual assessment of client/patient needs, goals, individual structural idiosyncrasies and neurological ability, decisions are made necessary to provide client centered personal training. This will be a rewarding and eye-opening experience.

This course is also for those that may not have an AAPTE certification but have had coursework in a related area of study.

NOTE: This is much more than an opportunity for another piece of paper for the wall. It is truly an educational opportunity allowing those with the goal of evolving toward true professionalism in the understanding of biomechanics and teaching of resistance training exercise to go the next level! There is limited space for this course.

DATES/TIMES: Aug. 10, 6:00-9:00 PM,  Aug. 11, 9:00 - 4:45 PM Aug. 17, 6:00 - 9:00 PM Aug. 18, 9:00 - 4:45 PM

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Understand where to start an exercise and how to maximize physiological and neurological responses
  • Learn how to effectively progress exercise applying neuromuscular and biomechanical principles
  • Apply key concepts and principles necessary to maximize the efficiency of resistance training exercise
  • To understand ALL exercise is based upon the application of forces (internal & applied) and their relationship to joints. No matter what the type of exercise (i.e. machines, bodyweight yoga, tubing, barbell, dumbbell, etc.) it must be based upon the client's structure (anatomy) their individual ability, needs and goals and your understanding of MECHANICS.
  • Have a deeper understanding of how to stimulate muscles and create purposeful, goal directed exercise challenges

PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ABLE TO

  • Analyze the efficiency of motion, forces and position(s) of an exercise
  • Use a strategic and deductive approach to initiating an exercise
  • Manipulate the components of an exercise (force time, effort, intention) for specific goals
  • Micro-progress exercises based upon a client’s needs, goals, abilities and tolerance
  • Apply their understanding of the interrelationship of muscles actions, joint positions and motions to exercise application
  • Apply essential laws of physics and principles of mechanics to exercise

Testing: The RTS exam is a computer based multiple choice and video analysis exam. Test is taken as a home-based test and at the student’s convenience.

Registration information will be provided for students interested in taking the RTS test at the end of the course.
