ABOUT THIS CLASS:
Read MoreA 16 hr. in-service packed into 2 days, this class is designed to teach the therapist, trainer, coach and athlete how to capitalize on both deep and shallow water. Includes samples of hard-core aquatic training regimes for the uninjured athlete, active recovery drills, and post-injury rehab protocols. Appropriate for therapists and trainers working with individual sport athletes (such as triathletes or marathoners) and those working with team sports (such as football or volleyball). Includes instruction in the following hands-on aquatic techniques: shallow water plyometrics, deep and shallow running drills, agility drills, vertical acceleration training, edema control and management, and more.
This course is primarily for professionals who work with individual sport athletes (such as triathletes or marathoners) and those working with team sports (such as football or volleyball). This course is primarily for professionals with at least 500 hours performing aquatic therapy or those who have completed the Aquatic Therapy Boot Camp class. Those likely to benefit most are: PTAs, PTAs, OTs, OTAs and ATCs who are at the intermediate level of skill acquisition and/or those who are at a higher level of skill, but who are looking for additional treatment ideas for the athlete population. This class is an elective class for individuals seeking ATU Credentialing in the Sports Medicine Track. – –

post-injury; (c) immediately after games/ races/events; (d) for active recovery (lecture)
3. Describe the optimum pool temperatures and depths necessary for the following: (a) during-the-week training; (b) post-
injury; (c) immediately after games/races/events; (d) for active recovery (lecture)
