DESCRIPTION
Performance enhancement is the top of the rehabilitative pyramid, and it is based on a foundation of conditioning, stability, endurance, and strength. The essentials of improving performance for ADL’s as well as for athletes is covered in detail in this course. Assessment of the entire kinetic chain and fascial chain evaluation are the basis of functional movement patterns. The metrics of volume, rest intervals, tempo, concentric, eccentric and isometric loading for the entire spectrum of the rehabilitative paradigm, culminating on performance, power and speed. Finally, the current research in recovery enhancement is reviewed as an integral part of performance enhancement.
