Strength And Conditioning CEU Courses for PTs

Learn what excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) is and how to program exercise sessions to maximize its outcomes. Explore the relationship between different exercise interventions and increased caloric expenditure, weight management, and general health and wellness.

Myofascial interventions are popular interventions to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. This two part series provides an evidence based update on popular intervention. Part I of the series covers instrument assisted soft-tissue mobilization and tissue flossing.

Learn about the latest science on what happens to the whole-body during exercise and why strategic exercise programming is more important than ever. This course covers the five types of exerkines and their effects. Gain a comprehensive understanding of the functions of these chemicals and harness the cutting-edge principles of precision exercise medicine to effectively unlock the advantages of exerkines.

Learn what muscle clocks are and how to use them to determine when to work out and how to schedule types of exercise like resistance and cardiovascular training. Discover how to build workouts and programs using the latest research on timing training.

This course explores the effects of high-intensity, short duration training versus endurance cardio training on strength development in athletes. Discover how to program the frequency, mode, volume, intensity, and duration of cardio training sessions to design effective concurrent training sessions and programs for recreational and competitive athletes.

This presentation will summarize the evidence of the effects of the following lifestyle interventions (Sleep, Nutrition, Reduction of stress) and their physiologic mechanisms and relationships to athletic performance and health, and tools to effectively implement interventions. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.

This course will connect the anatomy and physiology of muscle contraction with myofascia and trigger points that are responsible for the pain mechanisms. It is important to understand the effect of a dysfunctional myofascial chain. We will discuss evidence based research that will support the use of foam rolling, types of different rollers, functions, benefits, role in improving muscle length and hence improved mobility. The knowledge of trigger points in major muscle groups and techniques to foam roll will be addressed, and add another tool in your toolbox for effective rehabilitation. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.

This course reviews current literature, definitions, and guidelines on high intensity exercise use within physical therapy programming. We will review example treatments, precautions, and contraindications when integrating these techniques in the older adult. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.

Learn suggested bodyweight exercises for home and outdoor exercise. The course also includes strategies for rest and recovery including optimizing sleep. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.
