Agenda

Description

This course is offered in cooperation with Human Kinetics and includes the paperback textbook, “Strength Ball Training” by Lorne Goldenberg and Peter Twist, c2007.
Develop strength, power, coordination, balance, and core stability using the medicine ball and stability ball exercises included in this course. Preferred by elite athletes, fitness experts, and strength and conditioning specialists, these exercises train the body as a linked system rather than targeting muscles in isolation. Over 140 exercises targeting all the major muscle groups are discussed in this exciting course!
Exercises start with the core, where most movements are initiated, and then move out to the periphery, combining strength and balance in all the major muscle groups and the supporting muscles. Watch as the authors demonstrate key stability and medicine ball exercises, correct common errors, and explain how variations of the exercises can provide additional benefits on the 90 minute DVD accompanying the textbook.
Strength Ball Training also includes a sample 16-week program with an excellent array of strength, flexibility, and balance challenges that may also be customized to design your own strength ball program. 281 pages and 90 minute DVD.
Course Length: 4.0 contact hours
Instructional Level: Beginner/Intermediate
This course is intended to instruct the student through self-paced study on benefits of strength training utilizing balance balls, medicine balls and BOSU Dynamic Stabilizing Load balls and to enable the student to create therapeutic exercise programs for patient and clients utilizing these balls.
