1. Core Exercises - I have been around fitness and have played sports sense the age of six . As i have gotten older and now out of contact sports and my contribution to the fitness world has turned . I now am the trainer. One thing i do on a constant basis is look at people and there actions and moments.What can i do physically to help that person and how i can change there lives. I look back from when i played and Analise what i could have done differently in my training as a young athlete. I definitely would have hit my core more in my routines . It is in my opinion now, the most important thing you could possibly train in the body to compete in competitive sports today. I had no idea that there was so many different core movements and how important they are in sports.
2. FMS ( functional movement screen ) - The porpoise of functional screening is to find your weaknesses in your movement pattern. Every athlete has weakness in their bodies. This screening is to find a weakness and turn it around and use it as a strength. This test will pin point exactly where you have a deficiency and help you overcome it to allow you to reach your athletic potential. I never had any clue that these tests existed.
3. Pre hab and Pillar stability- Strengthening the most areas that are stressed in everyday life and playing sports . Shoulders, core , and hips . These areas are the most vulnerable ares for injury. What pre hab is, strengthening these areas before injury happens.
4. Periodization - Growing up in sports i have always knew that you have to do certain things in season and off season . What i didn't know is how technical and important periodization is in the world of sports. Everything in periodization is for a reason. Your body is a machine and you have to treat it like one. Everything we do in life is periodization if you think about it.
5.Stretching before power movements- Ever scenic a kid you were always taught that you stretch before anything you do. Well science and evolution has taught us that's not true. When you stretch you elongate your muscles. When you do anything that involves power movements your tightening the muscles. So by lengthening your muscles and then tightening them your prone to serious injury.
6. ACL tears in woman - I didn't know that woman are 4 to 6 times more likely to tear ACL's then men. During the ovulatory phase of menstrual cycles, women become weak externally in the hips and causes the valgus position witch forces the hip, knee and ankle out of alignment.
7. Preventing ACL tears in woman- In the human body if something is weak or under stress it breaks or tears. Poor ankle mobility is another key factor in ACL tears as well as hip strength. High heel shoes force a inadequate dorsi-flex in the foot causing quad dominance keeping the feet from natural range of motion taking the work of the glutes from firing because the hip flexors are always on.
8.Myofascial Release- Developing blood back into and around areas of the muscle that is stressed to relieve pressure to prevent or treat injury's.
9. Importance of poster- Inefficient posture can result in inefficient movement which produces an energy leak. Putting tape down the middle of your back standing up straight and from back of shoulder to middle of back like an upside down peace sign will teach you to stand up straight. If the tape starts to rip off it hurts so it teaches you to stand the right way.
10. Power plate the evolution of fitness-Before my internship i have scene Power plate machines in magazines only. I have never been able to be hands on with one. I did some research and its the evolution in fitness, recovery and prevention of injury in the body. What an amazing machine, if you can afford one i would strongly advise every fitness facility to invest in one.
