Study Notes
PATHFIT 101: Movement Competency Training Overview
- Course emphasizes fundamental movement patterns through non-locomotor and locomotor skills integrated with core training.
- Aims to enhance functional fitness and physical activity performance using exercise regression and progression.
- Encourages independent physical activity pursuits and the adaptation of movement competencies.
- Incorporates fitness and wellness concepts, monitoring personal fitness and dietary goals through evaluations.
Learning Outcomes
- Conduct functional assessments to evaluate posture and core stability using various exercises.
- Aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being.
- Design dietary plans that promote proper hydration and moderate to vigorous physical activities.
- Encourage responsible consumption and healthy nutrition behaviors.
Core Training Focus
- Posture Definition: Natural body alignment during stillness and motion, maintained by the musculoskeletal system.
-
Common Postural Issues:
- Kyphosis: Abnormal rounding of the upper back.
- Lordosis: Inward curvature of the lower back (swayback).
- Scoliosis: Sideways curvature of the spine, appearing S-shaped or C-shaped.
Core Stability
- Defined as the lumbar-pelvic-hip muscle complex's ability to control lower trunk movement and stabilize the vertebral column.
- Core muscles serve two main functions:
- Protect the spine from excessive load.
- Facilitate force transfer between the lower and upper body.
- A strong core reduces injury risk and enhances performance.
Functional Anatomy of the Core
-
Core Hip Muscles:
- Composed of the gluteal muscles: gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus.
- Gluteus maximus is the largest and most superficial, forming the bulk of the buttock.
Breathing and Bracing Techniques
- Abdominal Bracing: Activates core muscles and tightens the stomach to create intra-abdominal pressure during movements, promoting stability.
Fitness Assessment Activities
- PAR-Q (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire).
- Posture Assessment.
- Core Assessment.
- Fitness Assessment.
