R.T.S. RESISTANCE TRAINING SPECIALIST

4 day course in biomechanics and advanced resistance training

The secret is no secret at all, its science. And once you

understand it, you will never train the same way again.

Learn to:

 LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TEACHING AN EXERCISE AND DESIGNING MOVEMENTS

WITH MAXIMAL CHALLENGE

 MAXIMIZE TRAINING RESULTS AND MUSCLE GROWTH

 Recognize and debunk resistance training myths

 Balance the risks and benefits of EVERY exercise

 Better understand human body and the various forces that affect movement

 Chose equipment that produces optimal results

 Understand the Functional vs. Traditional training

debate and learn what REAL FUNCTION IS AND HOW TO OPTIMIZE

“THE MORE KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE,

THE MORE VALUE YOU HAVE!

 EXERCISE MECHANICS: BIOMECHANICS FOR EXERCISE AND THE FOUNDATION FOR ALL

UNDERSTANDING AND TEACHING OF ALL FORMS OF EXERCISE

o GOES BEYOND MARKETING AND BIAS CREATED BY THE FITNESS INDUSTRY

o BASED ON SCIENCE AND USA RESEARCH CENTERS INFOS

RTS WILL BE DELIVERED BY DR MARK SLAVIN. DR SLAVIN IS FROM THE USA AND IS RECOGNIZED AS ONE

OF THE LEADING AUTHORITIES IN EXERCISE BIOMECHANICS HAVING STUDIED AND TAUGHT FOR OVER 30

YEARS IN 71 COUNTRIES. DR SLAVIN IS CURRENTLY THE INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR FOR THE RTS

(RESISTANCE TRAINING SPECIALIST) PROGRAM, EDUCATIONAL CONSULTANT FOR GENESIS HEALTH

CLUBS (44 CLUBS IN USA) AND EDUCATIONAL DIRECTOR FOR SPORTSART INTERNATIONAL. DR SLAVIN

SERVED AS AN INTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONAL CONSULTANT FOR CYBEX FOR 17 YEARS AS WELL AS

HAVING SERVED AS THE FIRST DIRECTOR FOR NASM (THE FIRST PERSONAL TRAINING COURSE OFFERED

IN THE USA 1989). DR SLAVIN OBTAINED A DEGREE IN HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY AND A DOCTORATE IN

CHIROPRACTIC FROM THE NATIONAL COLLEGE OF CHIROPRACTIC IN 1986.

TRAINING IS CERTAINLY AN ART BUT IT S ALSO A SCIENCE

When you understand the structure of joints, the action of muscles,

And the physics of force, you can design the best program for you clients

USING SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TO DETERMINE MUSCLE ACTIVITY WITH THE USE OF EMG TECHNOLOGY WHICH MEASURES MUSCLE ACTIVITY DURING THE EXERCISE

During exercise, we know numbers
How much weight…..How many reps
But we DON’T know exactly how
MUCH EACH MUSCLE IS WORKING

EMG technology measures muscle activity.
EMG
(Electromyography) provides

DIRECT FEEDBACK
that determines
PRECISE MUSCLE ACTIVITY
during
ANY EXERCISE

BELOW ARE JUST A FEW OF THE DOZENS OF USES

OF EMG WE WILL LOOK EXPLORE DURING THIS SEMINAR

 Determine amount of muscle activity directly during exercise
 To compare muscle activation across different exercises
 To see the effects of making small changes in exercise form on muscle activation
 To examine the effects of cueing and attentional focus on muscle activation thru direct
biofeedback
 To examine muscle activation differences between ideal form and poor form

FIND OUT IF YOUR TECHNIQUE AND FOCUS
IS PRODUCING THE BEST POSSIBLE RESULTS
