Purpose of Training Sessions: The training sessions are designed to apply everything learned during the course in a practical setting.
Nature of the First Training Session:
It's an opportunity to familiarize oneself with exercises, not graded.
Aimed at giving students a chance to "get their feet wet" in applying the learned concepts.
Importance of Quiz Seven
Quiz Seven Details:
Acts as a comprehensive review of all material covered during the course.
Content includes various muscular and exercise concepts learned.
Key Concepts for Successful Completion
Understanding Muscle Groups:
Grips: Different grip types (wide grip, closed grip) significantly alter muscle engagement and joint dynamics.
Students must effectively demonstrate understanding of these grips in applications.
Exercise Naming Convention:
Students must accurately name exercises in quizzes and practical exams.
Common mistakes include using vague or incorrect terminology.
Examples of unacceptable names:
"dumbbell lateral flexion"
"cable abduction"
"barbell shoulder extension"
Actionable Requirement: Always provide the precise name of an exercise.
Failure to do so could result in a loss of points on quizzes.
Quiz Structure
Visual Components in Quizzes:
Quizzes will present two images (A and B) showing a specific exercise.
Students must identify discrepancies or mistakes in the execution of these exercises.
Stretching and Muscle Focus
Assignment Requirements:
For Assignment Number Three, students were required to focus on one specific muscle to demonstrate proper stretching techniques.
Mistakes commonly made include attempting to tackle groups of muscles rather than focusing on a single muscle.
Additional Notes
Preparation for Final Exam: Students should review concepts regularly and understand the distinctions among different exercises and their names to avoid penalties during assessments.
Clarifications: Students encouraged to ask questions about any uncertainties, particularly regarding exercise execution and terminology.
