TriggerPoint™ for Movement: Hip and Shoulder Mobility
Workshop presented by: Kyle Stull, DHSc
8:00 - 10:50am
The hips and shoulders are designed to be some of the most mobile areas of the human movement system, but they can often lock up. Normal activities, such as walking, require extension, flexion, and rotation of the hips and shoulders. If this doesn’t occur, compensations arise. Come to this workshop and learn an advanced self-myofascial release approach that is focused on identifying these patterns and creating myofascial relationships that will optimize movement and prevent injury.

Metabolic Threshold Testing: The Ultimate Assessment and Design for Endurance Performance
Lecture presented by: Len Kravitz, PhD and James J. McCormick, MS
8:00 - 10:50am
While a high VO2max is a prerequisite for success in endurance events, the ability to sustain a high percent of VO2max, without accumulating fatigue, is of greater importance. The lactate threshold test (which involves taking a finger prick of blood) helps to precisely determine a client’s maximal sustained running velocity and heart rate. Fortunately, accurate lactate threshold analyzers are NOW very cost effective. And, for the first time, IDEA brings this incredible technology to you via interactive video laboratory.
