Bobsled Symposium - Schedule
Saturday, February 25th, 2012
| Time | Classroom Sessions | |
|---|---|---|
| 8:00-9:00 | Long Term Athletic Development | David Sandler, MS, CSCS, *D, RSCC*D, FNSCA |
| Long Term Athletic Development (LTAD) is a system of training used worldwide to develop athletes from childhood through adolescence to adults. It is a research based system that identifies “critical periods” so that the effects of training and youth development can be maximized. | ||
| 9:00-10:15 | Sports Nutrition and Supplementation: A Key Ingredient to Building a Better Athlete | Jay Hoffman , PhD, CSCS*D, FNSCA, FACSM, RSCC*D |
| Intensive sport training is the key to athletic success. The stress of training has a major impact on proper growth, health, recovery, and maturation. Studies suggest that proper nutrition and supplementation is critical for enhancing performance and assisting in the overall development of athletes during long training seasons. This presentation will review the macro and micro nutrient needs of athletes when participating in a long-term intensive sport development programs, and give suggestions as to proper timing and implementation of a healthy nutrition and supplement program. | ||
| 10:15-11:15 | Metabolic Conditioning | Carl Maresh, PhD |
| This lecture will cover the fundamentals of energy system development by defining metabolic training and discussing bioenergetics. The participant will understand the overall adaptation process and issues related to metabolic conditioning. Finally, this lecture will look in to the characteristics of both aerobic and anaerobic sports and their conditioning programs and provide suggestions as to what each athlete really needs for their year-long training programs. | ||
| 11:15-12:30 | Speed, Power and Strength: A Needs Analysis Approach | David Sandler, MS, CSCS*D, RSCC*D, FNSCA |
| This session will cover the essential principles to beginning speed, agility and power training with your students or youth athletes, including a focused emphasis on the importance of motor learning, movement preparation, bilateral proficiency, and fundamental progressions to enhancing movement performance. | ||
| 12:30 – 1:30 | LUNCH | |
| 1:30 - 2:45 | Environmental Considerations and Risk Factors | Carl Maresh, PhD |
| With the recent media hype of sudden death in sports and the overwhelming need for strength coaches and personal trainers to push the limits with their clients and athletes, the need for current knowledge and proper exercise implementation is needed more than ever before. This lecture will dive in to the issues with cold, heat, and altitude and the affects of the environment on performance. Additionally it will discuss risk identification and give practical solutions to implementation of safe and effective program administration. | ||
| 2:45-4:00 | Extreme Conditioning, and Alternate Training Methods | David Sandler, MS, CSCS*D, RSCC*D, FNSCA |
| Extreme conditioning programs have become a popular method for training along with using a variety of tools and implements to attempt to challenge athletes and general fitness enthusiasts. More specifically, extreme conditioning programs can have an adverse effect on training. With a proper understanding of how to use the “tools of the trade” and how to use alternative methods to achieve goals, exercise development and implementation can be safe, effective, and applied to everyday training. | ||
| 4:00 – 5:15 | Fundamentals of Progam Design | Jay Hoffman , PhD, CSCS*D, FNSCA, FACSM, RSCC*D |
| Finishing out the day, this lecture will give a hand-on approach to solving strength and conditioning's most difficult questions: how much, and how often? By examining periodization concepts and detailing exercise prescription components, the attendee will be given a crash course in understanding the key concepts of developing a solid program that addresses all his athletes or clients needs while maximizing performance. | ||
