Course Objectives and Goals

COURSE OBJECTIVES

1. Define Exercise.
2. Understand the construct, and use, of exercise to manipulate critical variables, and understand which cannot be manipulated.
3. Analyze current testing protocols and resistance training program to gain a new perspective.
4. Review of key anatomical structures and their material properties and why knowing the physics/mechanics may reduce the wear and tear on the body’s various materials and enhance desired adaptations.
5. Gain practical experience applying the principles of statics to the human body via exercise.

GOALS

1. Understand the basic concepts and definitions of classical physics (e.g., force, torque, moment, kinetic energy) and how understanding these terms provide practical application to improving athlete exercise prescription.
2. Understand how to identify the variables of, and analyze, the statics of, a specific exercise scenario.
3. Gain practical experience manipulating the variables of traditional exercise in order to create new exercise experiences for an athlete.
4. Learn to predict and solve problems with the athlete’s movement and control system.
5. Create and Apply exercise in novel ways to expand the athlete’s unique experience

What You Will Learn

The overarching idea with this course is to start the process of facilitating a common language, based in physics, for communication within a Sports Medicine Department. A common language will increase team member understanding and cooperation when conducting athlete testing, test data interpretation, and promulgating exercise prescriptions. This will foster a work process and culture that impacts athlete health, game readiness, prevent injury, and improve recovery if injured for a faster and safer return to play. It may also increase player confidence in the overall strength/conditioning, sports science and medical process as they hear a consistent language, and explanations, being used to support their efforts to perform at their full potential.

This One-Day Course’s Big Picture is based on 4 Key Concepts:

1. The Relationship between Exercise, Physics, and Bio-Motor Control
2. The Body View of Bio-Motor Configurationalism
3. The Variables of Exercise
4. The interaction of Physics and Anatomy
