Specific Weight Loss

To satisfy my curiosity and gain a broad understanding of athletic training, I chose to interview my boss, Pete Stevens. Pete is employed by Physiotherapy Associates, a nationwide corporation that specializes in physical/occupational therapy, athletic training, and fitness/sports training. He has worked there for three years. He is currently the Head

Works in conjunction with other sports-related individuals, such as strength and conditioning staff, to create safe and effective exercise plans in terms of “fitness, nutrition and conditioning programs [that are] customized to meet individual student-athlete needs”.

This report was created to help the Florida Sports Committee understand why Clear Choice Coaching will want to partner and incorporate the sport phycology discipline in our practices to help us with our approach to recruit, retain and develop our coaches. This report was created to bring attention to the benefits of working together with coaches and sport psychology professionals to help advance and implement reliable yearly platforms of activities that carry out quality measurable assessments. We concentrate in coaching Soccer, Basketball, Tennis and Football. We are confident by integrating this discipline we will develop increased efficiency, knowledge sharing and transfer of improved skills to our athletes. We can see the benefits that

In the past 30 years, the direction of sports within the youth has drastically changed. In the past, young athletes aimed to play in several sports. Now, athletes focus themselves in one single sport and year-round extensive training has been encouraged by most adults in a young athlete’s life whether they are a parent or a coach. Allowing the youth to participate in sports is frequently considered “a great way to develop leadership skills” and “an appreciation for individual and team accomplishments” (Sailor). Along with the rise of Sport Specialization, concerns pertaining to a child’s physical and psychological health have begun to increase as well. Early Sport Specialization may lead to greater risks in a child’s life such as injuries,

I had the amazing privilege to observe Erin Herrmann, who is the head athletic trainer at Putnam City North High School in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The reason why she was chosen for my observation hour was because she has the job that I am yearning to obtain after I earn my master’s degree in athletic training. This occupation is completely relevant to exercise physiology because athletic trainers have the opportunity to help injured athletes to recover by creating, facilitating, and assisting athletes with their rehabilitation assignments.

As I reflect on my life, I can’t imagine my life without sports. Sports is my passion and the one thing that keeps me sane and happy. This assignment has showed me the love I have for sports and how it consumes my whole life. My whole life revolves around it. As I am sitting down writing this paper, I am listening to an interview about a former Florida Atlantic University football player who is now dealing with life after the NFL. His name is Christian Milstead, a 2015 Exercise Science and Health Promotion graduate. After the 2015 NFL draft, Milstead was invited to take part of the Green Bay Packers rookie minicamp. Unfortunately, he wasn’t one of the 300 people who made it on a NFL roster. Milstead, however, life is going great. Of course, he would love to be playing on Sundays, but he is enjoying life as a Personal Trainer Director for one of LA Fitness locations in South Florida.

Halseth received his Masters degree in 2003 and is currently an Assistant Athletic Trainer for Oregon University. McChesney works for Southern Utah University in their physical education and human performance department. All other co-authors credentials were unable to be found and this article was the only reference to them.

For my interview assignment, I spoke with Jeffrey Rothstein, a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) and corrective exercise specialist (CES) at the PT Center in Akron, Ohio. His primary job there for the past eight years has been to develop training programs for athletes that help prevent injury and improve performance. Mr. Rothstein has a bachelor’s degree in exercise science from the University of Dayton and a master’s degree in exercise science from the University of Pittsburgh. He has credentials from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), USA Weightlifting, and the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).

This website was developed by James Griffing, he has a master’s in Kinesiology and a bachelors in exercise science. With contributions from many professionals such as, Eric Serrano, Lon Kilgore, Brent Rushall, Bryan Helwig, Joel Seedman, Joshua Seedman, Eladio Valdez III, and Marv Fremerman.

To test the muscle strengths the subjects were required to use the one repetition maximum method for a variety of different exercises. The experiment consisted of the subjects rising from the chair without the use of their hands. During the trial reflective markers were

Basketball is a very popular team sport just like football throughout the United States and the world. An association called the National Basketball Association draft players from around the world and look at the athlete’s talent and skills. Conditioning plays a large role in basketball. While trying to draft young basketball players, Strength and conditioning have been used in practices and programs. There has been strength and conditioning in other sports but they really haven’t examined NBA Strength and Conditioning in basketball like other sports. So, there were a survey done to explain the strength and conditioning practices by these basketball coaches.

The research team included 3 researchers, two trained in sport sociology and the main author was trained in sport psychology, providing an

The differing results are likely because of differences in skill level among test subjects, methods of evaluation, and erratic sprint distances. The main strength qualities being explored in this data analysis are: absolute strength, relative strength, high-load speed strength, and low-load speed strength. Every sport requires several combinations of these strength qualities to be successful (13). Absolute strength is the measurement of how much force a subject can exert with no regard to body size (3). Relative strength is the measurement of strength to body size. High-load speed strength is the ability for the muscle to exert a high amount of force while contracting at a high speed. The tests to gauge high-load speed strength are typically short in nature, executed at maximal speeds, and produce high power outputs, and include exercises such as the power clean, snatch, and push jerk (1). Triple extension of the hips, knees, and ankles during these movements allows the athletes to express force against the ground rapidly. Low-load speed strength involves low velocity movements, and is a quality that “reflects the dynamic abilities necessary for sport. They are the maximal strength tests of choice for strength and conditioning professionals”

As my fourth year begins on my school’s wrestling team, anyone can see that I love the sport. However, there is one aspect of the culture that negatively affects both me and my teammates: the rapid weight loss techniques that are commonplace in wrestling.
