COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Explore how aquatic equipment can be used to directly
transition a person from pool to land-based muscular endurance and strength
training. Controversy on the issue of the aquatic environment using
predominantly concentric contractions, not preparing people for gravity-based
strength will be addressed. Using equipment that allows concentric and
eccentric contractions, plus the additional properties of the water will
produce a better than smooth transition. This course will assist you in making
choices for designing aquatic exercises with equipment that makes the
transition to land-based exercise easier. Get your land legs ready for your sea
legs!
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able
to:
1.
Evaluate and identify
equipment that allows for force couples, concentric and eccentric contractions
in the water.
2.
Compare the types of
equipment that allow for forced couples to help transition a person to the land
directly.
3.
Identify benefits to
using equipment in the pool and the need for guided instruction for safe and
effective use.
