    Chain Reaction Biomechanics and Low Back Pain
    by Guerrino Boni, CSCS
    back to schedule ^
    Discussion of the incidence of low back pain and treatment modalities.
    Training for the Reduction of Knee Injuries
    by Dave Heikkinen, PhD, CSCS,*D
    back to schedule ^
    Knee injuries are common in many sports, but there are training techniques that may be applied for a lower incidence of injury. An in depth examination of the functional anatomy that supports the knee, and cutting edge research based exercise modalities that can reduce injury on the field, will be discussed.
    Treating Skeletal Muscle Injury: Scrutinizing the Options
    by Maria Urso, PhD
    back to schedule ^
    Overview of the processes that promote skeletal muscle repair and remodeling following training-induced muscle damage or acute muscle injury. Research evidence will be used to discuss the risks and benefits of purported ways to manipulate skeletal muscle adaptation, repair and recovery.

    Bilateral Power Assessment and Indirect Training Implications
    by Tom Newman, CSCS
    back to schedule ^
    The vertical jump is one of the most widely used field performance tests. This lecture seeks to unlock hidden information commonly overlooked by practitioners. With this new found information we hope to increase overall athlete performance as well as program design.
    High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and its use in Performance Enhancement
    by Charles Haskell, CSCS, RSCC
    back to schedule ^
    The popularity of HIIT has grown exponentially in the past few years. But what is it and how is it utilized in training athletes to enhance their performance? Do some programs go too far just to make the workout hard; and do others miss the opportunity to utilize this simple training tool? This presentation will cover the basics of HIIT and give specific examples of how we utilize the principle in training all of our athletes to enhance their sport-specific conditioning while maximizing their on-field performance.
