The Neuromuscular Stretching online course will provide you with the knowledge and rationale for the use of neuromuscular stretching as a muscle lengthening technique within a corrective exercise program. The instructional video presented by Dr. Mike Clark will detail how to perform multiple neuromuscular stretches on your clients. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to: Describe the scientific rationale supporting the use of lengthening techniques in a comprehensive corrective exercise program. Properly apply neuromuscular stretching to improve range of motion and lengthen overactive, tight structures as part of a comprehensive corrective exercise program.

In the United States, the number of teenagers affected by obesity has nearly tripled since the 1970s. From lack of exercise to lack of motivation, online gaming to minimal school resources, there are several reasons why today’s youth has fallen behind the curve when it comes to staying active. That’s why we’ve created a specialization for trainers who want to help reverse the problems facing today’s youth and face their challenges head-on. Through hands-on exercises and expert programming, you’ll understand how to help keep kids motivated and engaged in sports, weightlifting, running, and more. With this fully digital program, you’ll learn about exercise variables and modifications for nutritional needs, cardiorespiratory, core, balance, plyometrics, and resistance training all geared towards younger populations.

To motivate clients to adhere to fitness plans, use your brainpower – and theirs! Learn about cutting-edge neuroscience research that demonstrates how exercise protects this vital organ across the lifespan.

The ability to change speed and direction of movement and appropriately react to all given stimuli is often the difference between injury and safety or success. Improving speed, change of direction and reaction time is possible through proper training strategies known as speed, agility and quickness or SAQ training. This comprehensive course provides students with a general understanding of SAQ training concepts and the knowledge to help clients increase performance while decreasing risk of injury through the Optimum Performance Training® (OPT™) Model.

Careful scheduling of eating and workouts can improve performance and prevent injuries. Learn how keeping to a diet-and-exercise schedule has remarkable advantages to improving physical results!
