This document provides an overview of a training session on athletic development and corrective exercise. The session will address expectations, discuss foundational philosophies around training athletes versus sports, assess key movements, and prescribe exercises. It will cover assessing functional limitations, matching exercises to target movements like bending and rotation, and determining an athlete's training focus through assessment. The session aims to develop athletic qualities like jumping, acceleration/deceleration, and rotational control through corrective exercises.

2. Please keep your phone ON!! & This is a Friendly session! @ iNformMaxMartin Corrective Exercise Australia

3. Some history

4. Plan for today Addressing your expectations! Flexible practical component Prescriptive philosophies Training the athlete vs the sport Break (11-11.10) Athletic demands Olympic lifting for athletes? Lunch!! 12.20 – 1.00 Programming for athletic development Assessment (1.00-2.30) Key movement prescription (2.30-4.30)

5. Foundational philosophy Athletes are as dysfunctional as general pop > greater compensations and lack of efficiency. Widely accepted role of exercise professional is to keep the athlete on the playing field> minimize injury!

6. Foundational philosophy Are these the fastest men in the world? Or are they the coming together of many factors??

7. Foundational philosophy Movement is a behaviour Developmental and learned Quality over quantity Posture is a good baseline for movement Posture is not the cause of dysfunction but a SYMPTOM Such dysfunction corresponds to compromised activity of muscles Stabilisers typically become hypotonic/inhibited – ‘allowing’ faulty posture Gross movers typically become hypertonic/facilitated – ‘driving’ faulty posture

8. Training the athlete or the sport?? Large cross over of movement skills across sports – Training sport feeds problems and overuse The most specific sports training is sports itself By adding resistance we strengthen the pattern (whether good or bad) Can you be an expert technician in every sport??

9. So what do we train then? Athletic movements! Jumping & OH Acceleration/deceleration Lateral movement Rotation Bending + rotation Reaction Integrated push/pulls – with lower body involvement and with rotation

11. for Tx extuse cables > greater extension demand

12. but for anti extension use a free weight such as MBLoad to unload

13. Matching movements to exercises Bending + rotation (DLs > SL DL > SL DL with pelvic rot > ++) Acceleration/deceleration (Squat > SL Sq > weighted SLDLs > hops ++) Lateral movement (SL SQ > Speedskaters > +resistance) Rotation (cable rot resistance > pro-rotation) Integrated push/pulls – with lower body involvement and with rotation Jumping – (resisted acceleration – power/explosive squats) OH – Explosive (push press variations) and Control (OH holds = OH squats/split, rainbow squats, squat extensions ++) Reaction (various perturbation progressions)

14. Why not Olympic Lifting? Technique > low force production > wasting time Technique > injury potential Facilities Olympic lifting is a sport – while arguably most powerful athletes – ALL their training is specific to that one movement! how well would they move in basketball court or footy field (of ANY code)

15. General Athlete limitations Absolute strength Functional strength- (ROM + stability + coordination) ROM

16. How to determine focus of training? Need to assess athlete? Or do we just jump in and train goal?? X

17. How to determine focus of training? Assessment tools – typically performance measures (vertical jump, 40m dash, Illinois agility, etc) BUT how will you improve performance at these?? What is limiting performance??

18. Over vs Under powered athlete Performance Performance Function Function Performance Function

19. Assessing function and key movements The Australian Movement Screen (AMS) OH Squat Squat SL SQ OH mobility Push up Rotary

21. Femur below horizontal

22. Knees aligned over feet

24. Bending of the elbows– indicative of lat tightness and or various other shld girdle or Tx stiffness

25. Hands meeting in front of the frontal plane –

27. Femur below horizontal

29. Neutral pelvis (maintain horizontal level)

30. SQ to at least 45degs

33. No sway
