My specialty is strength training with an emphasis on human movement.
what does this mean?
A strength coach with an emphasis on human movement focuses on optimizing how individuals move and perform physically, both in athletic and everyday activities. This role combines strength training principles with a deep understanding of biomechanics, mobility, and functional movement patterns. Here’s what they typically do:
Key Responsibilities
1. Movement Assessment:
• Evaluate clients’ posture, joint range of motion, and movement patterns (e.g., squats, lunges, running).
• Identify movement dysfunctions, imbalances, or weaknesses that could lead to injury or limit performance.
2. Program Design:
• Develop strength training programs tailored to improve functional movement.
• Include exercises that enhance mobility, stability, strength, and power while correcting imbalances.
3. Injury Prevention:
• Focus on techniques that reduce the risk of injury by addressing poor movement mechanics and building resilience.
• Incorporate corrective exercises and proper form during workouts.
4. Performance Enhancement:
• Help athletes or clients improve speed, agility, strength, and endurance by building efficient movement foundations.
• Use sport-specific drills that mimic real-life or athletic demands.
5. Education:
• Teach clients how to move better in their daily lives and activities, emphasizing body awareness and safe training practices.
• Explain how movement quality impacts strength, athleticism, and injury risk.
Tools and Techniques
• Functional Movement Screens (FMS) or other assessments.
• Mobility and flexibility training (e.g., dynamic stretches, yoga-inspired movements).
• Strength training exercises emphasizing proper alignment and control.
• Use of tools like resistance bands, kettlebells, and bodyweight exercises to promote stability and coordination.
Who They Work With
• Athletes seeking to improve performance.
• Clients rehabbing from injuries.
• Everyday individuals looking to move pain-free or achieve fitness goals.
This approach not only improves physical strength but also ensures clients move safely and efficiently, enhancing both performance and longevity.
