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.

| Description: |
- Client sit and rest in a chair with arm rests or with left arm on table
- Feet should be flat on the floor
- Rest for 5 minutes – this can happen while you build a rapport, ask discovery questions, complete RHR assessment
- Choose an appropriately sized cuff for the client
- Place the cuff on the bare left upper arm, 2-3 cm above the antecubital space
- The lower edge of the cuff should be approximately level with the heart
- The cuff should be tight enough so that two fingertips can be slipped under the top edge
- If possible, palpate brachial artery and ensure arrow on cuff lines up
- Find radial pulse with one hand
- With the other hand, rapidly inflate cuff until you no longer feel radial pulse
- Inflate cuff 20-30 mmHg above that point
- With ear pieces pointing forward, put stethoscope in ears, and put diaphragm over brachial artery
- Ensure diaphragm of stethoscope is in complete contact with skin, not touching cuff or tubing
- Release pressure slowly (2 mmHg/second)
- Record Systolic blood pressure to the nearest 2 mmHg - the first perception of sound as the pressure drops
- blood is now passing through upper arm
- Record Diastolic blood pressure to the nearest 2 mmHg - the sounds becomes muffled (from tapping)
If the SBP is >144 mmHg or the DBP is >94 mmHG wait an additional five minutes and retake reading
If the SBP is >160 mmHg or the DBP is > 90 mmHg after the second reading consider sending your client to a Physician prior to having them engage in physical activity. Note, hypertension is defined as 140 mmHg / 90 mmHg.
