| Description: |
Learn how an exercise environment that offers maximal dissipation of heat offers a safe environment and one that enables the subject to achieve his maximum intensity and thereby achieve the best-possible results. |
| Purpose: |
This course presents the basics of heat production and dissipation during exercise to ensure that the SS instructor understands and is competent to explain to a client:
1. How heat production and sufficient heat
dissipation during a SS workout affects workout
performance.
2. The importance of an ideal environment to expedite
heat dissipation.
3. Command of this information ensures the instructor
will also be competent to mandate that certain
requirements are met before the client is
administered a workout.
