| The Science of Flexibility |
Jared Coburn, PhD, CSCS*D |
This talk will discuss the benefits and possible drawbacks of stretching exercises and flexibility training. Topics will include the role of flexibility in preventing injury and enhancing performance, as well as the acute effects of static stretching on strength, speed, and power. |
Jared Coburn, PhD, CSCS*D, is an Associate Professor of Kinesiology at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF). He has published numerous manuscripts in the areas of resistance training and muscle function, presented research at national and international conferences, and has written several textbook chapters. In addition to his academic work experience, Dr. Coburn has directed physical therapy clinics and fitness/wellness programs, and served as a strength and conditioning coach. He is active within the National Strength and Conditioning Association, where he has been a member since 1984. |
| Training for Speed, Agility, and Quickness |
Lee Brown, EdD, CSCS*D, FNSCA |
This will discuss the physiology behind SAQ training and identify neuromuscular adaptations to these exercises. Proper mechanics, intensity and volume will be discussed relative to maximizing performance. |
Lee Brown, EdD, CSCS*D, FNSCA,is a Professor of Kinesiology at California State University, Fullerton. He is currently the Director for Cal State Fullerton’s nationally accredited (CAATE) undergraduate Athletic Training Education Program. In addition, Dr. Kersey is a reviewer for the Journal of Athletic Training, the Book Review Editor for Athletic Therapy Today and is the chair for the Position Statement on Anabolic Steroids for the National Athletic Trainers’ Association. |
| Strength and Hydration |
Daniel Judelson, PhD |
This presentation will summarize the effects of hydration on strength, power, and resistance exercise performance. Attention will also be devoted to the effects of hydration on the anabolic and catabolic hormonal response to acute resistance exercise. The presentation will conclude with speculation regarding training adaptations in active athletes who experience regular hypohydration. |
Daniel Judelson, PhD,received his undergraduate degree in Kinesiology from the College of William and Mary, completed his Master’s degree in Exercise and Sports Science at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and earned his PhD. in 2006 from the University of Connecticut. Prior to beginning his doctoral studies, Dr. Judelson worked for two years as a Sport Physiologist for the United States Olympic Committee, providing physiological and biomechanical support to several national teams up to and through the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Games. After completing his doctoral work he subsequently joined the faculty at Cal State Fullerton where he is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Kinesiology and Health Science. |
