Resistance Training: Facts, Theory and Mythology

About this course

With the evolution of resistance training that I presented in a 2015 keynote, many interesting advances in research have occurred from the improved understanding of periodization to its impact on basic biological function. The fundamentals of exercise prescription have now expanded to include a host of different variables that need to be considered when prescribing exercise. These key factors relate to the sequencing of exercise prescriptions. The individualization in response to testing becomes a vital component in measuring the progress of a program. New technologies and software programs, along with a greater understanding of what individualization programming now requires, have led to a new approach in exercise prescription and resistance training. The basis of the acute program, variables, chronic sequencing variables, and indicators vital for optimal treatment of improved health, fitness and performance will be discussed.

What you will learn

• Understand some of the basics of prescription sequencing and resistance exercise
• Understand and be able to evaluate testing modules related to the program prescriptions decided upon
• Understand how to individualize a program in resistance training
