Choosing Effective Exercise Progressions and Regressions Online CE Course

This course consists of the following:

• Choosing Effective Exercise Progressions and Regressions video presentation
• Slide deck
• Practice exam
• Online continuing education exam

Choosing Effective Exercise Progressions and Regressions provides decision-making models to simplify exercise selection and program design. You’ll learn three heuristic frameworks designed to allow you to evaluate your athletes’ performance and simplify complex decision making in programming.

You’ll get examples of how to apply these frameworks in real life to evaluate movement competency, kinematics, task demands, and training objectives. You’ll become prepared to manipulate individualized programming by progressing or regressing exercises to improve the adaptability, learning, and performance of your athletes.

Learning Objectives

• Explain how heuristics can simplify complex decision making in exercise selection and program design.
