Chapters & learning objectives
1. Baby Biomechanics
Participants will discuss the need to understand a holistic model of causative mechanics (rather than isolated symptoms) when examining gait. Participants will also explore the need to look past kinematics, and develop a link between the abilities of the athlete and running gait.
2. Building a Paradigm of Strength and Power
Participants will develop an understanding of the importance of mobility, stability, strength, and power as they relate to the running athlete. Participants will also explain how ground reaction force influences the bioenergetics of running and discuss the role of symmetry, body stress, and economy with respect to optimal running form. The chapter concludes by describing how contact style, cadence, contact time, and stiffness influence form, and by applying these concepts to four real-world case scenarios.
3. Getting to Work
Participants will discover how athlete’s symptoms, performance, and objective gait and body metrics are put to work to improve athletic capacity.
4. Strength and Power Moves for Endurance Athletes
Participants will apply specific mobility, stability, strength, and power exercises and drills to optimize athletic capacity, with an understanding of its specific impact on running gait.
5. Q&A
Participants will discuss common questions regarding the development of strength and power in endurance athletes.
