Title:

Key Note Lecture 1

Moving Well and Often is Key for Long-Term Health and Vitality

 

 

 

Abstract:

Today when we begin any exercise or rehabilitation program the focus too often is how much can I lift, how many reps can I perform or how fast and long can I run.  We forget that quality must come before quantity, especially when it comes to exercise. During this presentation, the presenter will discuss the process in which you can ensure you are focusing on how well your patients, clients or athletes are performing during exercise and activity, not just how often.  This presentation will provide insight into how you can determine where the focus should be when creating the exercise or rehabilitation protocols. By doing this, it will give you the best possible path to success. This presentation will also review the latest evidence pertaining specifically to this methodology and how it can be used practically to improve your outcomes.  The focus of this presentation will be to utilize specific case studies in a variety of sports medicine settings to demonstrate the benefits of this philosophy.
