– Equipment Use in Transitioning from Pool to Land
Intermediate
/ Symposium 2-hour Pool Workshop
Sanibel, FL / Tuesday, June 29, 2010 – 12:30-2:50 pm
– 2.0 credit hours equal to 2.0 CECs/.2 CEUs
(Pool: 12:30-1:30 pm / Classroom: 1:50-2:50 pm)
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.
