ϖ 11 Guidelines for effective training
ϖ 10 Common errors when designing programs
In just 25 pages Evan cover’s 21 principles you can use when creating programs for your clients.
Following the principles of Stabilization, Dissociation, and Integration when creating programs for your clients Evan walks you through:
Basic Movement Patterns
What they are
Why you need to know them when planning programs
Stabilization
What it is
Where to start
How to improve it in your clients
Respiration
Why it is SO important when training clients
Normal patterns
Dysfunctional patterns
Teaching your clients breathing awareness
Dissociation refers to the moving of joints independent of each other in order to produce coordinated, efficient and optimal movement.
How to recognize if your client is able to dissociate
What it means for their body if they are not able to dissociate
How you can teach correct patterns through exercise
Integration: Once your client is stable and can dissociate you can begin the process integrating various exercises.
