Case Study 2:
Designing a comprehensive fitness program for Andrew a 24 year old Tae-kwon-do competitive athlete looking to improve his cardiovascular system, speed and power.
Andrew is a 24 year old T-k-d competitive athlete looking to improve his cardiovascular system, speed and power. Andrew has been training since the age of 7, competitive since the age of 19. His coach has recommended cross training, and he figured that jogging and working out in the gym would accomplish this. The result from training himself and always training hard 6 days/week has left him feeling fatigued, tension in his lower back, between his shoulder blades and at the base of his skull. Andrew is just recovering from a shoulder tendonitis caused by a muscular imbalance and possible overtraining. His massotherapist, who works for the chiropractor that Andrew consults and sees for treatments has recommended you as a trainer, especially for the water environment. Andrew would like to know why he is a candidate to train in the water, isn’t that type of training for older adults and pregnant ladies? Based on the information provided, Andrew's fitness goals and postural analysis - design a comprehensive and progressive program.
Case Study 3:
Designing a comprehensive fitness program for Genevieve, a 50 year old female lawyer who has suffered from a non-malignant brain tumor at the base of her skull.
Genevieve, a 50 year old female divorce lawyer has suffered from a non-malignant brain tumor at the base of her skull. Part of the tumor could not be removed. The operation has left Genevieve with an inability to get on and off the floor easily, as the blood shunting to the brain when she tilts her head forward or backward (especially when descending or ascending the a laying position) leaves her with the room spinning and a pressure (or lack of when ascending) in the head. The operation has left Genevieve with very little balance and a poor self esteem, both of which she needs for the function of her job with clients and in the court room. Genevieve has a "flat back posture", and due to the lack of balance, she hinges at the hip and her center of balance is more over the ball of her feet than her ankles. This is causing a tension between her shoulder blades and in her lower traps Genevieve is beginning to feel tension building in her lumbar area, and her hamstrings feel slightly strained, especially at the back of her knees. Upon assessing her knee alignment, you find that when standing her knees are too extended, almost to the point of locking. Her internal hip rotators are weak, she favors the right leg, and her arches are collapsed. In addition, Genevieve would like to loose weight, approximately 40 lbs, has a resting heart rate of 75, normal resting blood pressure. What advise will you give her, what must you do prior to accepting her as a client and how will you design your program & why?
