The first monograph for this course will be available in July 2005. We publish one
monograph each month thereafter until the series is complete. The monographs
average 20 to 28 pages and require 4 to 6 hours to complete. With the last
monograph, registrants will receive the final examination and CEU registration
form. To receive continuing education credit, registrants must return the answer
sheet and CEU form within the timeframe given, and must score 70% or higher on the
24-question multiple-choice examination. Registrants who successfully complete the
examination will receive a certificate recognizing the contact hours earned. Only
the person named on the registration form may obtain the contact hours.
This Independent Study Course series will take a look at all aspects of strength
and conditioning starting with basic sciences and progressing to assessment,
rehabilitation, and program design. The topics covered include the following:
stretching and flexibility; sport specific issues with flexibility, strengthening
and conditioning; core strengthening and stabilization; plyometrics; rehabilitation
of the overhead athlete and principles of dynamic stabilization; and a
comprehensive approach to designing a rehabilitation program related to strength
and conditioning. The authors will cover the management not only from the
standpoint of a clinical perspective, but also from the evidence for effectiveness
of practice that appears in the literature.
Upon completion of this monograph, the course participant will be able to:
- Explain the relationship between stress, strain, load, and deformation.
- Describe the concept of viscoelasticity.
- Describe the mechanical effects of outside factors on the structural and
biomechanical properties of connective tissue.
- Compare and contrast joint laxity and hypermobility.
- Determine the different methods of assessing flexibility.
- Describe the significance of age, gender, and tissue stiffness with
flexibility.
- Discuss clinical techniques and strategies related to flexibility and
extensibility and critical components that influence their design.
- Identify the dynamic and static stabilizing structures of the glenohumeral
joint.
- Identify the physical characteristics of the overhead athlete.
- Identify and outline a functional rehabilitation program from injury to return
to sport activities in an overhead athlete.
- Define the core.
- Describe the concepts, provide the scientific rationale, and design and
implement a program for core stabilization training.
- Describe the benefits and contraindications of resistance training.
- Describe the effects of resistance training related to special populations.
- Discuss the various phases of periodization.
- Interpret the numerous factors related to the development of a resistance
program.
- Determine appropriate candidates for plyometric training, proper timing for
introduction, and basic upper and lower extremity plyometric exercises.
- Understand the benefits and risks of plyometrics.
-
Describe sport specific issues with flexibility,
strengthening, and conditioning.
- Develop a general ability to individualize the above-mentioned strength and
conditioning programs.
