Adopt a holistic, multi-segment approach to athletic evaluation, linking hip and ankle mobility to knee pathology, then use simple, camera-based screens of squats, lunges, push-ups, and jumps to guide training.
Assess a runner’s patterns and kinetic chain integrity using a bosu balance test and PVC pipe variations to identify hip, knee, and ankle weaknesses for conditioning.
Analyze gait videos frame by frame to assess foot rotation, knee torque, arm swing, and posture, identifying potential knee pathology and injury risk from body mechanics.
Analyze an athlete performing deep squats and lunges to identify asymmetries, Achilles rigidity, and glute weakness. Target bilateral mobility and strength to improve performance.
Assess the athlete’s push-up form from head and lateral views to confirm a stable, mobile pattern with symmetrical scapula and a strong, aligned core.
Analyzes the athlete's jump and landing, examining quad, glute, calf activation, ankle motion, and Achilles and calf range of motion to address right-side weakness and knee safety.
Evaluate a runner’s posture, midline alignment, and lower-body symmetry to identify tight hip flexors and underuse of the hips, guiding longer stride and hip engagement to propel forward.
Identify athlete weaknesses by reviewing videos, recognize recurring patterns such as weakness in the glutes or abs, and Achilles tightness, and practice to improve by repeating video analysis.
In this course the experts at Rebound Athletics first share their principles of rehabilitation. These principles form the basis of how people are rehabilitated at Rebound. The first part of working with someone is of course evaluation to find the deficiencies in the musculature or the joint movements. Each major joint or segment of the body needs to be evaluated as well as posture and range of motion. You can apply this method to your practice as a therapist or trainer or apply them to yourself as an athlete.
Then the experts at Rebound Athletics share with you their methods for evaluating an athlete and designing a training or rehabilitation program. They identify the athlete's deficiencies in flexibility and strength. Then they outline a rehab program to address the deficiencies. Our methods are explained via a case study performing simple activities. You will how to video your athlete with a simple cell phone app. You then will be taught the nuances of video analysis that can give you a map of your athlete's weaknesses that need to be addressed in training and conditioning. You can also use this to detect chronic injuries and deficiencies. Course in English with Mandarin subtitles.
