Speed Training—The Basics for Success in Sport
Session 201 • Thursday, July 9 • 7:30am-8:15pm
Anthony Wall, MS
Acceleration and quickness are critical components of any athletic program. Regardless of ability or experience, speed- and acceleration-based programs need to be structured and progressive in nature. In this session, you’ll discover the concept of “relative training,” and how foundational training principles for recreational and professional athletes are the same. Join Anthony, a World Masters-ranked sprinter, for this fun, dynamic and explosive practical workout session. He will lead you through a world-class agility and quickness session that will show you how to blend these skills into a seamless session that will leave you breathless…for more!
Supporting an Active, High Quality of Life for the Aging Population
Session 230 • Thursday, July 9 • 8:35-10:25am
Sabrena Jo, MS
Evolve your core training and take it to the next level! Fusing elements of Pilates, experience an integrated approach to moving from your powerhouse for total-body strength, balance and power. Tackle your complete core in six body positions, and walk away with fun, functional and unique ideas to add to your workouts. Dive deep into core stability and mobility as you learn movement complexes and strategies to build core strength, as well as improve performance and function.
Functional Movement Patterns for Older Adults
Session 272 • Thursday, July 9 • 1:45–3:35pm
Cody Sipe, PhD
The seven fundamental movement patterns can be incredibly beneficial for older adults of all ages and functional levels. In this workshop, we will cover techniques and strategies for applying the “Big 3” patterns—deadlift, squat and lunge—to this diverse group, including: teaching strategies; simple assessments to determine which clients “earn the right” to load these patterns; how to regress and progress each movement; how to deal with chronic conditions and orthopedic issues; ways to integrate muscle power training; and programming variables. There will be a considerable amount of small-group and partner work to facilitate the learning.
Unintended Consequences: Your “Healthy” Diet May Be Wrecking Your Health
Session 291 • Thursday, July 9 • 4:00-5:50pm
Nancy Clark, MS, RD, CSSD
Eating healthy or “clean” is often a struggle our clients take on believing the change will help them lose weight, feel better, increase energy or improve athletic performance. While their intentions are excellent, the outcomes can be devastating. Come and learn why gluten-free, low-carb, Paleo, Keto and other “clean” diets could be causing far more harm than good to their long-term health. While weight loss and good health may be the goal, a higher mortality rate could be the outcome.
Improving Upper-Body Kinetic Chain Function for Shoulder and Neck Pain
Session 443 • Friday, July 10 • 9:40-11:30am
Lauren Shroyer, MS
What percentage of your clients have aches, pains or diagnosed injuries in the upper extremities? Upper-body dysfunction can have a significant negative impact on client success and well-being. This session will dig into the anatomy and biomechanics of the upper-body kinetic chain to give you a more thorough understanding of why dysfunction may occur. You will then learn how to apply and progress upper-extremity exercises to decrease shoulder and neck pain. Plus, you’ll understand how to more effectively meet the needs and goals of clients of all fitness levels, from beginners to athletes.

Loaded Mobility Training: Combining Mobility, Stability and Strength in Program Design
Session 637 • Saturday, July 11 • 9:40–11:30am
John Sinclair
Many protocols promote the concept that stability must
precede mobility, which precedes strength. In this very interactive session, learn why mobility, stability and strength may be best achieved when trained together. Discover why biology loves to achieve these three outcomes together and why biomechanics are better served when mobility, stability
and strength are combined.
Coaching Conditioning for Muscle-Building Fat Loss
Session 677 • Saturday, July 11 • 2:30–4:20pm
Peter Twist, MSc
The primary goals of most new or prospective clients are to lose fat and change their body shape by adding muscle. Come experience a conditioning workout that mixes maximum fat burn with effective functional training, while loading the body in the right ways to build muscle. We’ll fine-tune the mechanics and ROM that exponentially increases muscle development, physical function and fat loss.
Move Away From Knee Pain
Session 800 • Sunday, July 12 • 7:30–9:20am
Chuck Wolf, MS
The knee is a victim of every movement a person takes. It’s often blamed for movement limitations yet in actuality, it’s dependent upon the actions of the foot, ankle and hips. Explore the biomechanics of the knee and learn how to modulate the basic lunge movement pattern to allow the knee to move in all three planes of motion. Also, discover nearly two dozen lunge variations that can help the knee move away from pain.
