HFE 395 - Functional Training for Athletes

This course examines ten major components of functional training that includes functional training, self-myofascial release, breathing exercises, stretching exercises, activation mobility exercises, dynamic warmup, power training exercises, strength exercises and conditioning. This class will prepare students to demonstrate and teach multiplanar exercises in a variety of ways to adult and athletic populations using scientific explanations. Students will be able to recall specific anatomy specific to each exercise as well as explain the execution of each exercise taught in and out of class. After the course is over, students will have a better understanding of the purpose of functional training and the functional anatomy needed to perform a variety of multiplanar movements.
