401 – Fascial Lines Training with Peter Twist

9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Did you know that your fascia communicates with your muscles and brain, sharing data at an astounding 700mph? Learn the key roles fascia tissue play that help you be stronger on your feet, more stable, mobile, and skilled during 3D movement. The fascial lines connect multiple muscle groups together to express different movement patterns than what you learn in muscle anatomy. This is because nothing in the body actually happens in isolation, by itself. The muscle-fascia-neural-brain movement relationship is designed to always work together.

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to study under Coach Peter Twist directly and receive instruction on proper execution of Fascial Lines exercises. You will learn how fascial lines are oriented in the body and their primary roles and functions. Most of the day will be spent learning-by-doing to practice utilizing unique training methods that increase exercise intensity, biomechanical skill and strength adaptations of muscle and fascia tissue. There is no better way to build a strong human vehicle, regain a solid body armour and improve how our brain is wired to move well. As a bonus, you’ll be mentored with lessons on the art of positive coaching!

406 – Isometric Training for Runners with Ranell Hobson

9:00 AM – 3:00 PM

Sprint-specific isometric strength training scores high on the specificity scale for speedsters. During both steady state and maximum velocity running, the muscles of the lower limb perform isometrically. Between touchdown and mid stance when the ‘spring’ system is loading and unloading the athlete’s mass, it is the tendons that lengthen and shorten to create elastic energy for flight. In this course the theory and practice of Isometric Training for runners will be presented. This course is designed for all trainers and coaches working with runners of all levels.

Learning Objective 1:	Students will learn the four categories of isometric exercises for runners and be able to differentiate their use based on physiological adaptations.
Learning Objective 2:	Students will be able to demonstrate, cue and coach running specific isometric exercises for the hip, knee and ankle to athletes and clients.
Learning Objective 3:	Students will be able to insert exercises into periodised running strength programs based on phase of development, using appropriate reps, sets, tempo and duration.
