Return to Sport
Returning to sport is not just for athletes.
At Active Life, we believe that individuals deserve a life well lived and to have the physical freedom to be able to say “yes” whenever they choose to. After the conclusion of this course, the AL-P will be able to methodically assess and progress individuals from unable-to-perform plyometric and speed-based progressions to high-level directional change, throwing, and sport specific activities.
After Completing This Course, AL-P's will be able to:
- Grasp foundational biomechanics and their training implications
- Identify suitable tests for power, stability, and unilateral abilities based on goals
- Recognize progressions in extremity plyometrics, spanning effort levels
- Interpret return-to-sport criteria from sports therapists for post-operative rehab
- Comprehend post-op therapy protocols and the AL-P’s role
- Develop gradual impact programs for hip, knee, and ankle injuries
- Create upper extremity programs progressing from low to high velocity
- Execute confident testing for lower extremity deceleration and direction change
- Understand and apply basic plyometric terminology
- Skillfully assess and progress common surgical/non-surgical case studies, confidently facilitating return to desired activities
