This package includes the following:
  • Functional Training Anatomy book
  • Online continuing education exam
In Functional Training Anatomy, noted strength and conditioning specialists Kevin Carr and Mary Kate Feit cut through the clutter and misconceptions about functional training. They cover all aspects of how to form purposeful, effective, and efficient programs that build client strength, stability, and mobility for sport performance and in daily life.

Beginning with a clear definition of what functional training entails, you will learn about the importance of mobility training and its impact on movement quality, performance, and injury reduction. Use the warm-up activities to prepare clients for high-intensity activities. Use the medicine ball and plyometric exercises to teach force production and absorption and to develop power with Olympic lifts, kettlebell swings, and jumping exercises. Improve strength in the upper body, lower body, and core with hip-dominant, knee-dominant, pushing, pulling, and core exercises.

See the inner workings of each of the exercises with superb full-color illustrations that show the primary and secondary muscles and connective tissue being used. The detailed instructions for these multiplanar and unilateral exercises ensure you know how to teach execution of each movement correctly and safely. The Functional Focus element shows how the exercises translate to specific activities, whether that be an explosive athletic move or simply moving a box.

After reading the book, certified professionals can take the companion CE exam to earn continuing education credits.
