Whether you're aspiring to be a fitness professional or simply seeking to enhance your own training regimen, this course offers the fundamental knowledge for anyone interested in the science of exercise programming.


Managing the Overhead Athlete::
Mark J. Badenhop, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS, Cert DN, USAW-1
Since 2000, there has been a 10-fold increase in youth baseball injuries. Managing the overhead throwing athlete is challenging. Athletes need to resume throwing to return to their sport however throwing is typically the pain generator. Health care professionals will prescribe rest but this treatment does not solve the underlying problem. Designing a rehabilitation program based on the athlete’s throwing motion will significantly improve their outcomes. As a result of attending this course, participants will be able to analyze the baseball throwing motion and to identify common throwing faults. In addition, participants will be able to determine throwing faults in order to appropriately prescribe drills and exercises. Mastering these valuable skills will enable health care professionals to optimally evaluate and treat the overhead throwing athlete.
