Students learn the biomechanics of resistance exercise training, analyze safety issues for injury prevention, develop a strong command on how to build progressions and regressions, master the principles of functional training (e.g. core training) and measure skeletal muscle strength and endurance. The most prominent feature of this third section is the detailed functional analysis of all exercises performed with various forms of resistance (e.g. weights, kettlebells, suspension training, medicine ball, ropes etc.) and are performed in a functional or isolated context. Special emphasis is placed on various methodologies related to resistance training (e.g. eccentrics etc.). Students also learn how to perform needs analysis for either an athlete or a non-athlete and develop and implement a sound personalized strength training plan to meet the needs of the individual.
