21st Century Gluteal Training
This informative workshop will present the latest research on anatomy, biomechanics and strength training techniques for gluteal muscle activation and strengthening. With gluteal muscle weakness being a common contributor to many pathologies such as low back pain, patellofemoral pain, anterior hip pain and hamstring and groin strains to name a few, the information gained from this workshop will help improve your client’s strength, function and sporting performance.
The workshop will address the following questions and more...
Are squats the best way to strengthen the gluteal muscles? What makes the gluteus maximus the powerhouse of the human body? Are open-chain exercises worthwhile? Can low load activation exercises increase power production? What are the reasons behind valgus collapse? Why is the gluteus maximus a walking paradox?
Within this workshop you will be given practical and video demonstrations of gluteal exercises, exercise continuums for all basic lower body movement patterns and programme design implications and practical tips.
