PHRE 3043 – Functional Movement and Conditioning

Progressing from Principles of Fitness exercise techniques, Students will learn additional training strategies in order to design exercise programs for client’s wishing to improve anaerobic capacity, movement quality, and occupational requirements (e.g. police and paramedic). Students will be introduced to various training techniques such as: joint mobility, dynamic warm-ups, multi-joint lifting techniques, lunging/stepping patterns, grip strength, advanced cardiovascular interval and tempo training, circuits and more.

Target population: Adults (18-65), healthy

Description:
  • Feet shoulder width apart, core engaged, upright and neutral posture throughout movement.
  • Hands together gripping cable. Cable pull is perpendicular to your starting position.
  • Extend arms (holding cable) from torso straight out – watch that hips and torso do not rotate toward/away from anchor (i.e., maintain facing forward).
  • Complete sets on both sides

Technique points

Ensure client does not starting leaning away from the cable stack (thereby using their body weight to resist the load, as opposed to maintaining a neutral posture and forcing the core to remain engaged).

A wider base of support makes this exercise easier and vice versa.

Common Error(s): Not engaging core
