This course is offered in cooperation with Human Kinetics and utilizes the paperback textbook, “Strength Band Training” by Phil Page and Todd Ellenbecker, c2020.

Whether you are training in the gym, at home, or on the road, Strength Band Training shows you how to maximize strength, speed, and flexibility. Featuring more than 160 exercises and 27 fitness and sport-specific workouts, you will discover why strength bands are the ultimate tool for targeting, isolating, rehabilitating and developing every major muscle group.

This new third edition includes new chapters on training for older adults and rehabilitation, training tips connecting research to specific exercises and injury prevention recommendations. The exercises allow you to add resistance in multiple directions for routines that simulate sport-specific demands, improve strength, enhance movement, or target muscles to help prevent or recover from common injuries. 246 pages.

Course Length: 4.0 contact hours.

Instructional Level: Beginner/Intermediate.
