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: | Set up verbal instructions:
- Stand tall with your feet together and arms hanging comfortably
- Make a fist so your fingers are around your thumbs
- In one motion, reach the right fist over the head and down your back as far as possible while simultaneously reaching your left fist up your back as far as possible
- Do not "creep" your hands closer after the initial placement
Tips for teaching
- The top shoulder identifies the side being scored
- Repeat the verbal instruction to "Stand tall...". If by the 3rd attempt they still lose the setup position with cervical flexion or rounding of the back, stop the movement at the point they begin to lose position. Then take the measurement
- If the hand measurement is the same as the distance between two points, score low
- Make sure the client does not try to walk the hands toward each other following the initial placement
- Repeat the test and clearing exam on both sides
- The client can perform the movement up to three times on each side if necessary
Scoring:
3:
- Fists are within one hand length
2:
- Fists are within one and a half hand lengths
1:
- Fists are not within one and a half hand lengths
0:
Clearing test:
- Stand tall with your feet together and arms hanging comfortably
- Place your right palm on the front of your left shoulder
- While maintaining palm placement, raise your right elbow as high as possible.
- Ask client, do you feel any pain?
