This course will build upon the previous exercise prescription courses by focusing on training methods for the development of athletic and occupational performance. Topics include: performance needs analysis, periodization to develop power, maximal strength, speed, balance and agility. In the laboratory component students will learn exercises to support athletic development and how to coach clients through the specific exercises. Students will also learn how to adapt an exercise prescription for occupational physical demands. Historical perspectives as well as current training trends within the context of athletic and performance-related exercise training will be discussed. The laboratory component of this course provides the student with significant opportunity to practice these performance-related exercise prescription skills and techniques.
