Strength and Conditioning Certification Exam
My name is (…..) and I work for the Soyinka Fitness Hub. In this institution, we offer personalized training sessions for specific athletes, especially sprinters. The objective is to provide tailored training programs to meet the athlete’s physical needs required to excel in the sporting activity. For this particular project, I am training a seasoned sprinter, Santos Ortega, a 23-year-old athlete who has the potential to beat world records. Ortega successfully passed the phase 1 stabilization endurance training meant for beginners and is currently in the phase 2 strength endurance training, where he will be under my guidance. Often, this phase is a form of hybrid exercise where significant amounts of volume are used. The objective is to increase Ortega’s stability, endurance, hypertrophy, and strength because they form the basis of strength and conditioning. Notably, this phase is a substantial leap from the first phase because it will increase Ortega's workouts' intensity. Here, his sets increase to 2-4 while repetitions remain high. When the supersets are blended with reduced periods of rest, the exercises will considerably raise the challenge that will lead to massive improvements in strength and endurance.
The exercises are categorized into segments, including warm-up, core, resistance, and cool-down exercises. The goal was to take Ortega through a one-month training period where we are motivated to improve his mobility, power, strength, speed, agility, and performance. Again, the primary goal is to reduce Ortega’s athletic injuries. Being a sprinter, back and shoulder injuries are common, and the exercises needed to strengthen these parts enable them to avoid injuries. Notably, strength and endurance training is an underused format of conditioning that, if fully implemented, can help an athlete like Ortega achieve multiple goals simultaneously. Athletes who aim to increase their heart rates and improve their endurance can successfully undergo this program. As an experienced sprinter, Ortega has stayed at home due to the decreased sporting activities because of the global pandemic. In this training program, he has categorically stated that he wants to lose weight and regain fitness in anticipation of getting back to the track. This routine workout entails active warm-up sessions made of foam rolling, stretching, and core activation world needed in the strength endurance workouts. By integrating strength and stability-based exercises, this exercise targets the prime movers then resorts to stabilization. Notably, this workout method is made of similar motion supersets and is combined with strength and stability workouts. Usually, it differs from the conventional strength superset variations upon which the exerciser combines two different exercise movements.
For Ortega to begin his exercises, the warm-up sessions were crucial ingredients for more rigorous exercises. The first warm-up exercise involved cardiorespiratory exercise that was achieved through moderate cycling. One set for a period of ten minutes was enough for Ortega. The warm-up...
