PESP 235 - Application of Pre-habilitation Approaches for Strength and Conditioning
Semester Hours: 3
Spring
This course will examine the theory and rationale behind exercise selection and short- and long-term programs designed to enhance an athlete’s physical fitness and competitive readiness following rehabilitation from an injury. Programs such as these, often called pre-habilitation, may be introduced by a strength coach to supplement an athlete’s sport-specific conditioning program to decrease potential injury and optimize movement patterns, help strengthen a previously injured area, and decrease the likelihood of re-injury. The material covered in this course will highlight common injuries experienced by athletes in different sports and clinical treatment of such injuries, address the scope of practice for a strength and conditioning professional regarding pre-habilitation program utilization, and provide guidelines on appropriate program design.
