Course Details

Martin Haines and his team have performed a range of biomechanical tests on over 4,000 sports people. Martin firmly believes that studying and understanding our musculoskeletal system and how it impacts on our body movements is key to improving; Injury Prevention, obtaining Optimal Performance and also fundamental exercise prescription.

Martin has taken work from all the world’s renowned researchers* and developed a series of Course tutorsone day practical biomechanics training courses.

* Professors Stuart McGill and Serge Gracovetsky from Canada, Professors Twomey and Taylor from Australia, Nick Barrow a Clinical Biomechanist from the UK, and Professors Mike Stone and Jeff McBride from USA, amongst many others.

The courses are aimed at sports coaches, personal trainers, all therapists, fitness instructors, strength and conditioning coaches, P.E teachers, and occupational health specialists.

The series has been divided into 3 x 1-day practical biomechanics training courses.


Day 1 – Normalise Phase

The first day is the Normalise Phase, which is an introduction to a series of screening tests to identify any biomechanical weaknesses with the pelvis, spine and nervous system. This is then linked to a series of exercises, which are used to improve and correct any areas of weaknesses.

Contents

1. Introduction to Biomechanical and Exercise Models.

2. Theory and Practical Screening tests looking at the pelvis, spine, muscle spasm and nerve function.

3. Prescription of exercises to help manage any of these biomechanical issues.

4. Application of the results into a variety of scenarios in the coaching, fitness and sporting fields.


Day 2 - Stabilise Phase

Once normal biomechanics is achieved, you progress to the second day, which is the Stabilise Phase where you discover the latest biomechanics model of core stability training. Then you work through core stability screening and associated exercises to address any core imbalances, and by the end of this day you will understand how to progress core stability training through over 400 exercises.

Contents

1. Biomechanical model of core stability.

2. Relevant core stability screening tests.

3. Theoretical and practical implementation of specific core conditioning programmes.

4. Functional core stability training.


Day 3 - Functionalise Phase

The final day is the Functionalise Phase, which looks at the biomechanics of the knee and shoulder. A full screening programme for both is discovered with the relevant exercises to complete the process and the biomechanical preparation for sport and exercise.

Contents

1. Screening methods to establish suitability for functional training.

2. Theory and practice of biomechanical testing of the knee.

3. Theory and practice of biomechanical testing of the shoulder.

4. Finalising the preparation for functional training.


The courses are recognised in the fitness arena by the Register of Exercise Professionals (8 REPs points per day), they are endorsed and recognised by UK Athletics (5 CPD points per day), and are accredited by the Professional Golfer’s Association (PGA, 25 CPD points per day).
