3208 – Core Authority

Advanced / Symposium 1-hour Lecture

Sanibel, FL / Tuesday, June 29, 2010 – 6:50-7:50 pm - 1.0 credit hour equal to 1.0 CEC/.1 CEU

(Classroom: 6:50-7:50 pm)

Faculty: Eduardo Netto, MS

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Obtain a simple and logical rational for core program design. Despite the recognized benefits associated with core training, the effectiveness of this particular program depends on several variables, including: exercise choice, intensity (load), volume, frequency of training, repetition, velocity and periodization. Therefore, in prescribing exercises, the requirement for the appropriate dose of training is critical to elicit maximal gains in efficiency, while taking care not to over-train or increase risk of injury. We’ll examine how those variables are important and affect their response to exercise. You will learn everything about training what’s between the shoulders and hips, and you will learn innovative drills and exercises that challenge the core muscles through all ranges and planes of motion.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

1) Provide information necessary to choose the most appropriate exercise for the individual at a given stage of the training process.

2) Identify safer and more effective exercises to train the core musculature.
