The goal is not to have students learn to perform the movements correctly. That would require much more time to practice under supervision in the lab, and a lab exam in which the performance of the movements are evaluated. Knowledge related to the movement practiced in the lab can be evaluated on the written class exams.Equipment RequiredExercise matsA flat surface at least 5 yards (4.6 m) long (for the dynamic stretching exercises)Personnel RequiredStudents divided into groups of two people per groupReading Sources RequiredKIN 416 Lecture notes: Flexibility, Static and Dynamic Stretching and Warm-UpNSCA course textbook: Essentials of Personal Training. pp 277-285KIN 416 web site articles: Bring these to the lab as reference sourcesACSM Basic Stretch ProgramLower Extremity Stretching For Endurance RunnersDynamic Stretching Exercises (brianmac)Dynamic stretching/flexibility and mobility (James Madison University)CautionsDo all static and dynamic exercises gently with low intensity. You do not need to push yourself to your maximum ROM. The emphasis must be on correct form development within your safe ROM, not pushing yourself to a maximum ROM.

The person doing the stretching always uses their own voluntary muscle contraction to move their own joint to a greater range of motion. You (the person being stretched or the person helping) do not need to push (physically or mentally) the subject to a great ROM. The emphasis must be on correct form development within your safe ROM, not pushing to a maximum ROM. Procedure – PNF StretchingDo the target muscle contract procedure for HamstringsSubject (person being stretched, red shirt) uses their own voluntary hip flexor muscle contraction to move the leg as far as possible into hip flexion.Trainer (blue shirt) holds the leg in that position and prepares to resist against hip extension.Subject performs a moderate isometric contraction of the hamstring muscles by attempting a hip extension against the fixed resistance offered by the trainer for 6 secsSubject relaxes the hamstring muscleSubject uses their own voluntary hip flexor muscle contraction to move the leg further into hip flexion.Repeat steps 2, 3, 4, 5.Repeat steps 2, 3, 4, 5 again.Do the PNF stretching procedure for another muscle group (e.g. anterior shoulder muscles, hip adductors, etc.) using the same procedures described above for the hamstrings.Lab Report (one report for both students in a group)Date: ______________Names of both students: ____________________________________Lab group: A / B (circle one) Lab time:_______The time each static stretch was typically held for was: __________Three static stretching exercises practicedFlexibility exercise performedMuscle group(s) affected1.2.3.Three most interesting dynamic stretching exercises practicedFlexibility exercise performedMuscle group(s) affected11.2.3.One PNF stretching exercise practiced, in addition to the hamstring exercise required (do not list the hamstrings group exercise)Muscle group(s) affected.PurposeTo learn proper posture, spinal motion and breathing exercise techniques.Why learn about posture in a strength and conditioning class? Posture is the foundation of stretching, stance, movement and force production required in exercise.Examples of the importance of posture for athletes and for exercise:The first thing Erik Helland, strength and conditioning coach for NBA Chicago Bulls, evaluates in an athlete is posture and spine motion (Source: Strength & Power Hour, 09-09-28).“I let posture be my guide. If they can’t maintain posture, they can’t maintain load” Tom Myslinski, former Cleveland Browns strength and conditioning coach and currently (2010) The University of Memphis football team's strength coach. Myslinski played for nine seasons as an offensive lineman in the NFL. (Source: Strength & Power Hour, 06-20-10).Eric Cressy Blog (), illustrating that even professional athletes commonly have posture deficits.11493556515006 Reasons Anterior Core Stability Exercises Are EssentialThis time of year, I'm doing a lot of assessments on professional baseball players who are just wrapping up their seasons.? One of the biggest issues that I note in just about every "new" athlete I see is a lack of anterior core control. In other words, these athletes sit in an exaggerated extension pattern that usually looks something like this:And, when they take their arms overhead, they usually can't do so without the ribs "flaring" up like crazy.Equipment RequiredExercise matsVarious resistance training implementsAerobic exercise equipmentPersonnel RequiredStudents divided into groups of two people per groupReading Sources RequiredKIN 416 Lecture notes: Flexibility, Static and Dynamic Stretching and Warm-UpNSCA course textbook: Essentials of Personal Training. p 273, paragraph from bottom of column 1 to top of column 2.KIN 416 web site articles: Bring these to the lab as reference sourcesWatch Your BodymechanicsCautionsWarm up prior to activity. Do all exercises gently with low intensity. You do not need to push yourself to your maximum when stretching or working against resistance loads. The emphasis must be on correct form development within your safe ROM and a load you can very easily lift. If you have any spine problems, or other concerns related to exercise activity, talk with Dr. Chalmers before you perform any of the student exercises.InstructionsDr. Chalmers will discuss with the class the background information in parts 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A.After each “A” section is discussed, students, in pairs, will have time to perform the lab exercises in the corresponding “B” sections (1B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B), and complete the report requirements for each of those “B” sections.(1A) Spine posture – background informationA neutral spine position should be maintained during most stretching and lifting exercises. When in a neutral position the spine is much stronger and better able to support a compressive load (25% - 45% stronger), and damaging shear forces are minimized (McGill pg 92).EXAMPLES OF POOR AND DESIRED SPINAL POSTURECORRECT NEUTRAL SPINE (in person leaning forward)TOP: Correct neutral spine, as torso bends forward (flexion at hip, not the spine)BOTTOM: Undesired lumbar spinal flexion, as torso bends forwardGolf techniquePOOR SPINE POSTUREGOOD SPINE POSTURE PT stance and bend techniqueSource: No More Sit-ups and Crunches Author: Anthony RennaStanding posture: (McGill pg 87, 177-8)Good = Neutral spine (see figure above)Poor = slightly flexed spinal posture = chin poking forward, shoulders dropped and slouched, requires chronic low level low back extensor muscle contraction. To improve posture, extend at the hips also bring back head and shoulders, to bring spine into neutral position and shut off extensors (palpate the muscles to feel them relax during this exercise). Also watch for excessive lordorsis (sway back) with pelvis tipped forward in some people. Correct by tipping pelvis posteriorly.Stretching posture: (McGill pg 207-210)Poor = flexed spineGood = neutral spine; maintain upright torso during hip & knee stretching, this produces more stretching effect (and mobility) in the target hip and leg, rather than having the spine flex to compensate for poor mobility in the hip and/or leg. Left: Bad posture when stretching Right: Good posture when stretching. (From McGill fig 10.41 pg 209)Posture when resistance training:Left: Bad posture when performing rowing exercise with flexed spine. Right: Good posture when rowing, spine in neutral position. (From McGill fig 7.3 pg 143) Undesired spinal flexion (left picture), correct spinal posture during rowing exercise (right 3 pictures) (1B) Spine posture – student exercisesStanding posture. Review the definition of “good” versus “poor” standing posture above. With your partner observing and providing comments on your body position when standing naturally (good versus poor) feel how the good and the poor postures feel. Try the exercises described and illustrated in figures above under “Standing posture” to improve your standing posture. Learn how they feel so you can catch yourself during the day in the poor posture, and return yourself to the good posture. Stretching posture.Practice the sitting poor and good hamstring stretch in figure above under “Stretching posture”. Feel the difference in how the poor and good techniques feel in your low back and your leg.QUESTION TO ANSWER ON LAB REPORT: In the article “Watch Your Bodymechanics” there is a “coaching point” (an expression to remind and cue the client) that serves as a reminder for maintaining a neutral spine when stretching or resistance training. What is that expression?(2A) Abdominal bracing and spine stability during exercise – background information (Source: McGill, Ultimate back fitness and performance, 3rd ed, pp 113-4, 117, 188)All torso muscles working TOGETHER in a coordinated fashion are important to produce stabilizing stiffness of the spine. One or two particular muscles (e.g. transverse abdominis and multifidus) are not more important than others, and so all muscles must be trained, not just a select few.Endurance and motor control are most important, strength is rarely needed. During most tasks of daily living, including standing with 30 kg in each hand, the contraction required of abdominal wall muscles required to produce stability is less than 5% of a MVC.Abdominal bracing is activation of all three layers of the abdominal wall.A stabilizing exercise is any activity that develops motor patterns that ensure stability, and do so without imposing excessive loading of the spine.No single motor pattern will ensure spine stability under all movement conditions, and so a variety of exercises that vary challenge, load, speed etc. must be employed.Stiffness and stabilization of the spine does not mean no motion of the spine, it means stability. You can have a stiff, stable torso, with the correct amount of stiffness for the load and the speed of movement. (2B) Abdominal bracing and spine stability during exercise – student exercisesLearn to do an abdominal brace. See figures below. Left: Slouch, flex spine, and feel paraspinal extensor contraction just above pelvis. Right: Move into neutral spine position and feel extensors shut off and relax. (From McGill fig 10.2 pg 178)Slightly flex your torso, feel contraction in your low back extensors. Extend spine until neutral spine position is reached and extensors relax. Then contract the abdominal muscles and feel the activation of the extensor muscles. This is an abdominal brace.Learning the abdominal brace. Left: Feel the extensors contract. Center: feel extensors relax when you move to a neutral spine position. Right: Contact the abdominal muscles and feel the extensors contract. This is the abdominal brace. (From McGill fig 10.13 pg 189)Practice the conscious abdominal contraction that produces the bracing during a functional task. Do a standing unilateral straight arm forward dumbbell raise (using a light weight that you can very easily lift). Concentrate on performing the abdominal brace the entire time the weight is in your hand (not just when you are lifting it).Select any upper body resistance training exercise that requires standing or sitting (sitting without back support, the biceps curl is not allowed!!), and does not require flexion or extension of the spine. Perform the exercise using a light weight that you can very easily lift. Concentrate on performing the abdominal brace the entire time the weight is being supported by your body (not just when you are doing your reps).(3A) Squating hip hinge – background information (Source: McGill, Ultimate back fitness and performance, 3rd ed, pp 180-2)You must be able to separate hip flexion from lumbar flexion when making a squatting motion. Perform the squatting motion with the hips moving back on a 45 degree path of motion as the hip flexes, without having the spine move out of the neutral position. (3B) Squating hip hinge – student exercisesKneeling exercise. See figures below. Kneel with knees at 90 degrees, maintain a neutral back position. Move your buttocks back to your heels, then extend your hips to return to starting position, maintaining neutral back position. This 45 degree path of motion for the hips is the path your hips will take when doing a standing squat exercise.Learning the “Hip Hinge” Left: Start and end position. Right: Mid-position of movement. (From McGill fig 10.7 pg 182)Standing exercise. See figures below. Stand with a neutral back position. Place one hand on your abdomen and one on your lumbar back, so you can feel for any undesired flexion and extension movement of the spine. Squat by flexing your hips, not your spine. Move your buttocks back along a 45 degree path of motion, then extend your hips to return to starting position, maintaining neutral back position all the time, remember to perform your abdominal brace during the movement. If your hands detect torso flexion and extension, then try again without the torso movement. Note that if this is done correctly, the knees should not go excessively in front of the toes.Learning the “Hip Hinge” Left: Start and end position. Right: Mid-position of movement. Feel the position of your trunk when in a neutral position (left), then squat by only flexing the hips, feeling your trunk to ensure that spine flexion does not occur. (From McGill fig 10.6 pg 181)QUESTION TO ANSWER ON LAB REPORT: In the article “Watch Your Bodymechanics” there is a “coaching point” (an expression to remind and cue the client) that serves as a reminder for proper body positioning during a squatting movement. What is that expression?Standing exercise with bilateral loading. Repeat the above exercise and desired motion, without your hands on your torso, with a light dumbbell in each hand, hanging by your sides.Standing exercise with unilateral loading. Repeat the above exercise and desired motion, without your hands on your torso, with one light dumbbell in the right hand, hanging by your side. Repeat with weight in left hand.End of section for part 1 (day 1) activities(4A) Exercises for training the spine stabilizing muscles – background information (Source: McGill, Ultimate back fitness and performance, 3rd ed, pp 217-31)Many of the traditional abdominal and back exercises are poorly designed, producing high spine compression loads, or activation of muscles other than the ones that you should be training.Three exercises, when performed correctly, have been established to produce effective training of the spine stabilizers.Dead BugThe curl-upThe side bridgeThe birddog (4B) Exercises for training the spine stabilizing muscles – student exercisesThe Dead Bug.Source: once in a while, an exercise catches us by surprise. We see an athlete perform it or a coach recommend it, and suddenly it seems to be everywhere. The latest example is the Dead Bug.? If you’re unfamiliar with it, you’re probably asking yourself, “What the heck is a Dead Bug?” Well, you’re not alone. Many many people have given us strange looks when we talk about this move. The Dead Bug is an exercise designed to strengthen your core. It gets its funny name because when you perform it, you look like a dead bug lying on its back with its legs in the air. But despite its strange name, the exercise is neither complicated nor crazy. It is commonly used in Pilates workouts, and it has recently skyrocketed in popularity among strength coaches and personal trainers. Why the sudden spike? The way we train the core has changed in recent years, largely due to the research of Dr. Stuart McGill. Rather than performing exercises like Crunches and Sit-Ups, which require you to flex your trunk, Dr. McGill and other elite experts (like Mike Boyle) advocate training the abdominals to resist extension to protect your lower back. Planks and Ab Rollouts are basic anti-extension exercises, and they take up the majority of most modern core workouts. At first glance, the Dead Bug may not seem to fit in the category. But try it without bracing your abs and you’ll quickly feel your lower back rise up off the floor as your opposite leg and arm extend. To prevent your back from arching, you must tighten your abs, which makes the move an anti-extension exercise. But there’s more to it. Often athletes cannot move their hips without engaging their lower back muscles, or they can't raise their arms overhead without arching their backs and sticking their ribs out. The Dead Bug fixes these issues by teaching you to isolate movement at the hips and shoulders without moving your spine. Improving this movement pattern is important, because it protects your spine from movements it was not designed to handle. The Dead Bug is not the only core move you should do. But it’s a great exercise that you should consider adding to your core training routine. You’ll train the way your body was designed to function, and you'll ultimately become a better and more durable athlete. Dead Bug How ToLie on your back with your arms extended in front of your shoulders.Bend your hips and knees to a 90-degree angle.Tighten your abs and keep the lumbar spine in slight lumbar lordosis.Take a deep breath in.As you exhale, slowly extend your left leg toward the floor and bring your right arm overhead. Keep your abs tight and don't let your lower back arch.Slowly return your arm and leg to the starting position.Repeat with your opposite arm and leg. Continue alternating.Sets/Reps: 3x10 Picture source: curl-up. See figures below. Note the following:Not really a “curl-up” as very little motion occurs when performed correctlyExcellent training for the abdominal spring used in many athletic situationsTwisting is not needed, better activation of the obliques is achieved with the side bridgePROCEDURES:Lay supine with hands supporting lumbar regionDo not flatten the back against the floor (flattening takes the spine out of neutral position)One leg is bent with knee at 90 degrees, the other leg is relaxed on the floor (this helps prevent the pelvis from rotating posteriorly and the lumbar spine from flattening)Leave the elbows on the floor while elevating the head and shoulders a very short distance off the floor.Concentrate on only rotating the thoracic spine to activate the rectus abdominisDo not rise up too far. You do not need to lift the head and shoulders far off the ground. Think of “show off the chest” as you lift your scapulas off the floor, KEEPING A NEUTRAL SPINE AND WITHOUT FLEXING THE SPINE (THINK “NO MORE CURL-UPS”). KEEP CONTACT WITH THE GROUND AT YOUR MIDBACK AND BUTTOCKS (LUMBAR BACK AND THORACIC/SCAPULAS ARE OFF THE FLOOR).Do not flex the cervical spineDo not use elbows to support weight and lift the trunk off the floorSee “duration & reps” below at 4).Learning the “Curl-up” Left: Start and end position. Right: Mid-position of movement. (From McGill fig 11.6 pg 220)MORE DIFFICULT VARIATIONS (do not raise higher):Lift elbows off floor to shift more load to the rectusPre-brace the abdominals (up 100% maximal activation), and do the curl-up against the pre-brace, contract all the torso muscles against each other.Hands placed beside (never behind) head and no hand pressure is applied to head. Neutral lumbar position is maintained without hand support.The side bridge. See figures below. Note the following:Support on elbow and foot (simpler elbow and knee support is a progression)Place top leg foot in front of bottom leg foot.Repeat on other sideSee “duration & reps” below at 4).Side bridge. (From McGill fig 11.14 pg 226)MORE DIFFICULT VARIATIONSRoll slightly anteriorly and back to start positionRoll from one elbow to the other side. Move pelvis and rib cage together, maintain neutral spine, do not sag down.Doing side bridge, with or without roll, with feet on a surface that is not solid.The birddog. See figures below. Note the following:Support on two hands and kneesExtend one legMaintain a braced, neutral spine, with the ribcage locked to the pelvisKeep the right & left sides of the pelvis level, do not rotate it up or down when the leg is movedRepeat on other sideBird dog. (From McGill fig 11.18 pg 229)MORE DIFFICULT VARIATIONSExtend arm opposite to extended legBird dog. (From McGill fig 11.18 pg 229)Do not allow your hips to move from the horizontal planeSweep extended arm and leg in under body, do not support weight on them, then extend the arm and leg againClench fist of extended arm and move arm laterally to point at side. Concentrate on extension of the arm.See “duration & reps” below at 4).Duration & Repetitions for above three exercises.

Note that the exercises performed in the posture laboratory are also trunk and pelvis “core” exercises. The side bridge, birddog and versions of the curl-up are included in many sources discussing core exercises. This lab will teach you additional core exercises.INTRODUCTORY BACKGROUND INFORMATIONThe following quotes are from: Advances in Functional Training: Training Techniques for Coaches, Personal Trainers and Athletes, by Michael Boyle, 2010 Pages 96-98."The new concept of the core is simple: Core is anti-rotation. Core is the prevention of motion. What's really new is when we now talk about core strength, we really mean core stability. We’re going to train rectus abdominis, internal oblique, external oblique to prevent motion of the lumbar spine…"."There is very little in either of my earlier books we still use for core training. Those books were loaded with crunch-type exercises just don't do anymore."Related to training for athletes that must rotate"[In the past] athletes competing in a sport that requires rotation, like baseball, hockey or golf, were urged to develop more rotation in the lumbar area. Like many performance coaches, I fell victim to this flawed concept.""In Diagnosis and Treatment of Movement Impairment Syndromes, Sharmann states, “during most daily activities, the primary role of the abdominal muscles is to provide isometric support and limit the degree of rotation of the truck… A large percentage of low back problems occur because the abdominal muscles are not maintaining tight control over the rotation between the pelvis and spine at the L5-S1 level.” Here is the key: The lumbar range of motion we were trying to create is potentially injurious. The ability to resist or prevent rotation is more important than the ability to create it. Client must be able to prevent rotation before we should allow them to produce it.""Rather than considering the abdominals as flexors and rotators of the trunk, for which they certainly have the capacity, their function might be better viewed as anti-rotators and anti-lateral flexors of the trunk.""The thoracic spine, not the lumbar spine should be the site of greatest amount of rotation of the trunk. When an individual practices rotational exercises, he or she should be instructed to think about the motion occurring in the area of the chest.""It's very important to notice the differences in rotational movements. For example, lateral medicine ball tosses against a wall involve hip internal and external rotation, not lumbar rotation. Stop and consider your rotational exercises, and make sure your choices involve rotation in the hip or thoracic joints, and not through the lumbar region.""It drives people crazy when I say this because these trunk rotation exercises are on every athletic performance DVD, but that's where we are now: we no longer seek to increase lumbar range of motion."Equipment RequiredExercise matsLight medicine ballsCable resistance machinesElastic resistance bandsPersonnel RequiredStudents divided into groups of two people per groupReading Sources RequiredKIN 416 web site articles: Bring these to the lab as reference sources.

Do all exercises gently with low intensity. You do not need to push yourself to your maximum when stretching or working against resistance loads. The emphasis must be on correct form development within your safe ROM and a load you can very easily lift. If you have any spine problems, or other concerns related to exercise activity, talk with Dr. Chalmers before you perform any of the student exercises.General ProceduresIn all exercises concentrate on maintaining an abdominal brace, a neutral spine, and proper squat technique when squatting is involved.Teaching and learning tips:Do the cable activities first with no cable and no weight to learn the correct movement pattern. Then progress to a very light weight first to learn the proper movement.Have your movement checked by instructor.Try the movement with a moderate weight, to challenge your control.Procedure – Core ExercisesSingle Plane (mostly saggital plane)Cable machineCore Training for Improved PerformancePg 29: Practice the “Standing one arm row” exercise. Try the 1 version on one leg for increased challenge. Teaching and learning tips:Stand far enough away from the machine so that you can get full extension of your arm.Ensure that as you flex you also retract the scapula.Not Cable machine- SOME STUDENTS START HEREFree weight exercisesThe Missing Link – Integrated Core Training, Pg 16, fig. 3: Practice the “Unilateral alternating dumbbell lunge” exercise.Core Training for Improved Performance, Pg 28, fig 1A, 1B: Practice the “Single Leg Squat” exercise.

Do all exercises with low intensity. The goal in this lab is to practice designing an exercise session, not to get an actual work-out.Specific requirements for the exercise routine designedIt is a single session whole body work-out, for an intermediate exerciser, requiring at least two exercises per major movement trained (ie., push, pull, squat)It is a strength workout. You are not to include power, plyometric or agility exercises. You are not to include warm-up or flexibility exercises, assume these will occur in the warm-up and cool-down that you are not designing as part of this assignment (see below).Your client has 1 hour to be in the gym. She will spend 10 minutes warming up and 5 minutes cooling down. This leaves 45 minutes to go through her exercise routine three times. This means you are designing a 15 minute sequence of exercises (which your client will repeat the sequence three times in a session).Pay attention to sequences of exercisesCore before assistance (there are no power exercises allowed in this workout you are designing)Vary muscle area in body (e.g., upper versus lower body) for sequential exercisesVary nature of the movement (push/pull) of sequential exercises of the same body partThis is a circuit program, so there are minimal rest periods between exercises.You are to test your routine to ensure it is realistic for 15 minutes.You are required to ensure the listed exercises train all the following major body movements and joints, as well as the trunk and pelvis core. Note that multi-joint exercises allow for great time efficiency in a work-out.Squating (flexion & extension)HipKneeAnkleUpper body pullingShoulderElbowUpper body pushingShoulderElbowTrunk and pelvis “core”The two (or more) upper body pushing exercises must push at different anglesThe two (or more) upper body pulling exercises must pull at different anglesThe two (or more) squatting exercises must challenge the squatting motion in different waysYou must include at least one exercise that trains an assistance muscle. Your assistance exercise should be meaningful for development (not just randomly picked, e.g., bicep curls because they are popular. For example, work a muscle group not trained well in the above exercises. Work a muscle group that needs “activation training”. Work a muscle group that is weak due to past injury or imbalance.You must include at least one Trunk and pelvis “core” exerciseThe above totals to a minimum of 8 exercises. But you have 15 minutes per circuit cycle. If you can fit in more exercises, do so (your client wants the best workout possible in the 3 x 15 minute circuits)Specify if the exercise will be bilateral or unilateral. If bilateral, are the two limbs fixed together or independently moving.Consider time efficiency in selecting exercises. Does your exercise train multiple points in the body, or a single joint and muscle group? Can your exercise challenge the trunk and pelvis core while it trains other regions as well?You may use only exercises that can be done with the equipment available in the CV 181 fitness center.You cannot do any exercises that involve sitting or lying except: a) for the trunk and pelvis core exercise(s) or some assistance exercises, or b) by approval from Dr. Chalmers written by him on your plan (Hint: why does Dr. Chalmers think most sitting and lying resistance exercises are a poor choice?)You are to list the exercises in the table below in the sequence the client is to perform them, and identify the body part(s) trained by the exercise using the check boxes.Ensure you include sufficient detail in exercise description for evaluator to clearly understand the exercise being performed (e.g, angle of movement; bilateral versus unilateral load; bilateral, asymmetric, or unilateral foot placement, etc.)You do not need to fill in all the blank rows in the report table below, or you may include extra copies of the 2nd page of the report if you need additional rows.You must include the grading sheet when you submit your assignment, including your names written on your grading sheet.Lab Report (one report for both students in a group)Date: ______________Lab group: A / B (circle one)Names of 2 group members: ________________________________ Lab time:_______Exercise (in the sequence they are to be performed)Movement(s) trained (place a check to identify movement trained)Squat (flex & extend)Upper body pullingUpper body pushingCoreAssistance Trunk & Pelvis coreHipKneeAnkleShoulderElbowAngleShoulderElbowAngleExercise (in the sequence they are to be performed)Movement(s) trained (place a check to identify movement trained)Squat (flex & extend)Upper body pullingUpper body pushingCoreAssistance Trunk & Pelvis coreHipKneeAnkleShoulderElbowAngleShoulderElbowAngleGRADING SHEETNames of 2 group members: __________________________________Lab group: A / B (circle one)Grading Key:2 + Very Good, includes all of the elements at the level discussed in the course materials1 = some elements missing, minor errors0 = completely absent, or very significant errorsRequirementPointsComments210Core before assistance exercisesVary muscle area in body for sequential exercises, Vary nature of the movement (push/pull) of sequential exercises of the same body partSquat (flexion & extension) trained 2x, including, Hip__, Knee__, Ankle__Upper body pulling trained 2x, including, Shoulder__, Elbow__Upper body pushing trained 2x, including, Shoulder__, Elbow__Trunk and pelvis “core” trainedAssistance muscle(s) trainedTwo points deducted for each of:____ Power, plyometric or agility exercises included____ Warm-up or flexibility exercises included____ Exercise routine does not appear to be approximately 15 minutes duration, including minimal rest periods between exercises____ Exercises cannot be done with the equipment available in the CV 181 fitness center____ Table not filled in correctly____ Do not have two exercises per muscle group trained____ Did not include sufficient detail in exercise description for evaluator to clearly understand the exercise being performed (e.g, angle of movement; bilateral versus unilateral load; bilateral, asymmetric, or unilateral foot placement, etc.)____ Each use of exercises that involve sitting or lying (except for trunk and pelvis core exercises or some assistance exercises, or with written approval from Dr. Chalmers on the plan)One point deducted for each of:____ The two (or more) upper body pushing exercises did not push at different angles____ The two (or more) upper body pulling exercises did not pull at different anglesScore: / 14 (adjusted to proportional score for points this laboratory exercise is worth in total points in class)This page intentionally left blankPurposeTo practice the assignment of load, sets & reps for resistance training programs designed to develop muscular strength, endurance and hypertrophy.Equipment RequiredExercise matsResistance training facilityPersonnel RequiredStudents divided into groups of two people per assignment group.Reading Sources RequiredKIN 416 Lecture notes: Resistance Training Program Design. YOU MUST BRING THESE LECTURE NOTES TO THE LAB.NSCA course textbook: Essentials of Personal Training. pp 361-396CautionsWarm-up before you do any exercise. The goal in this lab is to practice designing an exercise session, not to get an actual work-out.Specific requirements for the exercise routine designedYou are developing an exercise program for yourself as an intermediate exerciser.You will list the exact # times /week in the tables you fill in. You will do each exercise you list the # of times per week you list (i.e, no split routines across the week).You are to use the RM method to determine the training load (Actual 1-RM measurement or submaximal predictions of 1-RM methods are not allowed)You are not to include warm-up or flexibility exercises, assume these will occur in the warm-up and cool-down that you are not including as part of this assignment.You are required to develop a training program for:Strength for 1 core exercise and for 1 assistance exercise (See table below, the core and assistance muscle groups must be different than those selected for hypertrophy and endurance parts of the assignment)Hypertrophy for 1 core exercise and for 1 assistance exercise (See table below, the core and assistance muscle groups must be different than those selected for strength and endurance parts of the assignment). NOTE: As you know from lecture, the load sets and reps described in the textbook are not guaranteed to produce a hypertrophy response, or be the best or only way to produce a hypertrophy response. Nevertheless, a "hypertrophy" category of program design has been included in this lab because the load, reps and set prescription for producing "hypertrophy" that we find in our textbook happens to be very similar to the load, reps and sets used by many people in a general weight training program.Endurance for 1 core exercise and for 1 assistance exercise (See table below, the core and assistance muscle groups must be different than those selected for strength and hypertrophy parts of the assignment)You may use only exercises that can be done with the equipment available in the CV 181 fitness center.You are NOT to include body weight exercises (we have another lab on that topic). All exercises must involve an external resistance that can be modified to determine the correct load for the goal and the individual.You are to list the exercises in the table below, and fill in each column to define the program design. You must use a single value, not a range of values (e.g., don’t say “8-12 sets” say “10 sets”.The lab report must involve your real data. While in the lab you will determine your actual loads for the RM numbers needed for the lifts you select and the training goals listed. If the load does not appear realistic when the report is graded, you will lose points.YOU MUST FILL IN COLUMNS A, D, E, & F IN EACH OF THE 3 TABLES IN THE LAB REPORT BEFORE YOU COME TO YOUR LAB SESSION, do this with your lab partner.You must include the grading sheet when you submit your assignment, including your name written on your grading sheet.IT IS REQUIRED THAT YOU PERFORM 4-5 MINUTES OF GENERAL WARMUP BEFORE STARTING THE WEIGHTING DATA COLLECTION PORTION OF THIS LABLab ReportDate: _____________Lab group: A / B (circle one) Lab time:_______Names: __________________________________Strength programAExercise nameBLoad (lbs)CReps# (= RM goal)DSets#ERest interval between sets# (min)FFrequency#, @ (training sessions per week)Core Exercise (NSCA definition)Assistance Exercise (NSCA definition)# A specific value must be given, not a range.@Assume you are doing only a strength program throughout the week.Hypertrophy programAExercise nameBLoad (lbs)CReps# (= RM goal)DSets#ERest interval between sets# (min)FFrequency# (training sessions per week)Core Exercise (NSCA definition)Assistance Exercise (NSCA definition)# A specific value must be given, not a range. @Assume you are doing only a hypertrophy program throughout the week.Endurance programAExercise nameBLoad (lbs)CReps# (= RM goal)DSets#ERest interval between sets# (min)FFrequency#, @ (training sessions per week)Core Exercise (NSCA definition)Assistance Exercise (NSCA definition)# A specific value must be given, not a range. @Assume you are doing only an endurance program throughout the week.GRADING SHEET.

Do all exercises gently with low to moderate intensity. You do not need to push yourself to your maximum when working. The emphasis must be on correct form development within your safe ROM and a load you can very easily lift. If you have any spine problems, or other concerns related to exercise activity, talk with Dr. Chalmers before you perform any of the student exercises.General ProceduresIn all exercises concentrate on maintaining an abdominal brace, a neutral spine, and proper squat technique when squatting is involved.Perform 1 rep of an exercise, rest, then a second rep, rest, then a third rep. Plyometric exercises are very intense, so for an introductory laboratory exercise lesson, do not do sequential reps without a rest.Procedures – Plyometric ExercisesPractice landing mechanics. Clients should not be jumping, if they can not land properly. Practice your proper squat mechanics by doing squatting motions at various different speeds as part of your warm-up and review the article Landing Mechanics, figure 1 (Quad dominated squat) & figure 4 (inward/medial knee movement when squatting). If you exhibit either, or both, of these movement patterns then do not proceed with the leg based lab exercises in part b. More work is needed with the exercises in the Posture lab. Proper squatting technique (figure 2, Gluteal dominated) must be demonstrated in a squat, and must be continued during the jumping activities below.Perform the following basic plyometric jumps in place, and jumps. For the ones listed in bold, they are described in the article Plyometric Fundamentals. The ones listed in bold must be reported on in your lab report. For the other jumps listed, your TAs will describe the jump, you can try the jump if time and skill permits, but you do not need to report on this jump in the lab report. Try each jump 3 times. If you successfully complete a jump 3x (including proper landing mechanics, remember that mechanics will degrade as fatigue occurs), then try the next jump listed. Remember to allow ample rest between the single jumps.
