| Description: |
A SuperSlow Instructor’s Guide to the Mechanics of Muscular Contraction, Recovery and Optimal Results |
| Purpose: |
Why can we say SuperSlow is more aerobic than activity commonly called aerobic? What exactly is muscular failure and the stimulus it produces? What occurs as a result of this stimulus, and why does it require increasingly more time? What specifically are the precious recovery resources we all talk about? Why are the results of proper strength training much longer lasting than those of other so called exercise protocols? And how to use the answers to these questions to tailor the SuperSlow session for optimal results. |
| Objectives: |
Learn the biology of muscular contraction.
Learn how muscular contraction is fueled.
Learn about muscle micro trauma, as well as, where and when it occurs.
Learn the process of recovering from muscular micro trauma.
Learn how SuperSlow exercise protocol provides all the biological requirements for immediate, continuous, and worthwhile results.
|
| Outcomes: |
Learners should be able to Diagram the biology of muscular contraction.
Learners should be able to Describe how muscular contraction is fueled.
Learners should be able to Discuss muscle micro trauma, as well as, where and when it occurs.
Learners should be able to Integrate into their conversational knowledge, the process of recovering from muscular micro trauma.
Learners should be able to Identify key points of how SuperSlow exercise protocol provides all the biological requirements for immediate, continuous, and worthwhile results.
